Topic: just added first youtube videos of original songs

check 'em out at http://youtube.com/user/ZenButcher13

I wrote "Whiskey" about a family member that would have a shot of whiskey at night before bed to relieve pain from arthritis.  The lyrics are:

     Bring me my whiskey; send me to bed; pray that I hurt no more.
     I know you'll miss me; and it's hard to let go; but I'll meet you again inside Heaven's door.

There is also a little "instrumental" version of "Whiskey" here I was just playing around on my son's electric guitar doing lead over the rhythm guitar part.  I think it turned out quite beautiful and "Slash-esque", if I do say so myself.

Lastly, there is a song I wrote called, "One More Time" about a personal relationship where I felt things changing because I had made some mistakes.  (No, LOL, it isn't about me cheating on a girlfriend!)

Nicely done Zenbutcher smile
Do you have full version of Whiskey?
Also I didn't see "One More Time" to have a listen.

Re: just added first youtube videos of original songs

Quite nice, zenbutcher!

I would also like to hear more verses - there are many places you can go from a great start like that.  Don't limit yourself to continuing the song just about that particular family member - different verses can be about different people or even different perspectives on the same theme.  James

Re: just added first youtube videos of original songs

Thanks for the input.  That's all I have on that song right now.   I hope to finish it one day when the inspiration hits.

KAP - you're right, I though I had uploaded that, but I guess not.  So.... I just did.  Check it out!

Re: just added first youtube videos of original songs

btw - I just listened to it and I have a terrible tendency of changing the pronunciation of words when I sing - don't know why.  So, anyway, if you can't understand, then here are the lyrics:

     One more time; let me hold you one more time.
     And one more day; let me love you one more day.

     I never claimed to be a good man
     And I never said that I could change...

     repeat first verse (because it's all I have written so far, LOL)
