Guitar Expressions - Acoustic Journey & Fleet


For many years I've been recording song ideas on this old tape recorder... It started out as mostly humming and singing (I used to be in chior) but eventually as I picked up the guitar and figured out more about computers, it has evolved into high quality sound bites. Check out two of my latest pieces below; Acoustic Journey and Fleet.

I used Garage Band on Fleet to add some bongos and a violin but Acoustic Journey is all original! I also cleaned up these tracks and enhanced the sound using a PC only application called Adobe Audition.

Loveburn


I wrote this song two nights ago because it helped me to deal with my energy. It's easy to go crazy without getting some of those ideas out and sharing them and music is a fun (less dangerous) way of doing that. I might post the audio version of this song later this week when I can sing it better, right now I have this whooping cough thing and it's harder to sing without coughing or going off key.


I'm living up to my promises, I'm not gonna walk away
I'm living up to my weaknesses, I'll do it anyway

Cuz my life is a journey and your face is just one stop
I won't let myself down this way cuz love is all I've got

I can't make you do anything and I wouldn't anyway
I'd like to hear back from you though; I've been waiting all damn day

I'm living up to my promises, I'm not gonna walk away
I'm living up to my weaknesses, I'll do it anyway

So take your "this and that" and all those things I never knew
I made myself a friend back then and the things I did were true

I feel like heaps of shit right now but I know I'm growing strong
I told you that I loved you then now tell me how can that be wrong

I'm living up to my promises, I'm not gonna be held down
I've been my greatest enemy, lets turn this trip around.

Sometimes the greatest flower is the one left at the trail
With petals leading back to her don't be afraid to fail
