Noodle #5 - "Tell Me 'bout the Time"

Noodle #5 - "Tell Me 'bout the Time"


Noodle #5, written and recorded less than 24 hours ago. It doesn't get any fresher than this!

So, this one has lyrics... And I sing them... Poorly... Meh. I like singing; I sing a lot. I just don't like the rigamarole of writing lyrics and trying to make them rhyme or "mean something." It's just frustrating and annoying. But, sometimes, the lyrics come easy, and I write them down a fast as they come out.

This song is about heartbreak and wishing things could be back the way they were.

You'll find the lyrics below... or at least a close approximation of what I'm actually singing. Enjoy! And don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more.

Lyrics:
 Verse 1:
Tell me bout the time I first met you
Tell me bout the time that we both knew
tell me all about the tie when you and I were all alone together
Long before I lost you

 Verse 2
Oh, the roads that we were traveling on weren't easy
We fought like cats and dogs.
But if I'd known that you were going to leave me
I would have said I'm sorry more often

 Chorus:
Cause I know you're never coming back this way again
and I know that you have found somebody new
I just hope she makes you smile and that you think of me sometimes
And I do still think of you

Guitar Noodle #1


As mentioned in my last video, it's been a while since I've done much of anything with music. About 2 and a half years ago, I was writing music like crazy. Well, I got a little burned out on that and decided to take an extended hiatus. And now, I'm back!

I was looking for ideas for new videos and a friend encouraged me to upload some of my "guitar ramblings," as I called them. These aren't really songs or structured in any specific way, it's just me goofing around for a bit, strumming out whatever chords seem to sound good together. I try not to spend more than 20 minutes on the whole writing process, otherwise, I get bored.

As such, I hope everyone likes it. I'm going to keep doing these until I get bored or too busy to waste my time with them, any longer.

Now, I know I have about 320 subscribers on my YouTube channel, and I love the attention I've been getting on my experimental electronic music -- especially the Tascam 4-track Cassette Tape Loop Drone in A/Am - using the Yamaha PSS-130 video. I mean, that video has been viewed nearly 57,000 times! I guess I really need to get back on that... But I'm kinda just enjoying this, for now.

Like I said, I don't really have anything planned for these videos, I just love playing the guitar, and haven't done it in forever. I might even decide to go back and dig up some of the songs I wrote when I was doing the whole singer/songwriter thing about 10 years ago. I wrote a lot of songs that I really liked, and I'd hate to think that no one will ever hear them, again. It would be nice to know they're out there, somewhere, somehow, and that people actually like them.

At any rate, please enjoy! There's going to be lot more, coming very soon!
