Here’s one of the most enjoyable music videos I have made to date. I actually made this song back in Seoul, South Korea, 2007, on one particularly beautiful morning. I was teaching some gifted students ESL at a University in the afternoons and went in and gave a demo of the song to the students. There was one great student who loved it instantly and started dancing and “grooving” in such a way that is so pleasing and affirmative for a creator to witness. It gave me more confidence in this track and I developed in more. It has great opening riff, which I originally recorded on my Fender Stratocaster. It was a great recording but I tried to make a certain vocal harmony in it, which just didn’t really add to the song and was hard to do.
So if you follow my posts you will see I made up this little tune about a year ago. I was bouncing ideas off of my friend Laurie Jean and eventually came up with this tune with a later echoing added my a high school musical friend, Stephanie Cobbe.
This is a true Canadian classic and a very powerful song. It really helped me when I was blind fool in high school!
I go blind – 5440
Everytime I look at you I go blind Everytime I look at you I go blind In the morning I get up And I try to feel alive but I can’t I don’t know what it is Something in me just won’t give it a chance I think it’s just that I feel more confused by the deal Love has shown me Little child did you know that there’s light And it’s gonna shine right through your eyes What do you think that life is like Everytime I look at you I go blind Somewhere over there There’s a purpose there’s a care for free In me there’s nobody No one plan no one stand to be free I think it’s that because I have seen all the fuss And it’s no big deal Hold me hold me ‘Cause I wanna get high and higher Higher than
This is actually my favorite Carly Rae Jepsen song. It’s a super easy song on the guitar too. Just A, D, E. If I was a girl, I’d be playing it!
Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen
You seem too good Too good to be true You’re holding me stronger Stronger than I’m used to
Don’t go out with the boys tonight I won’t sleep a wink Wondering what you’re doing Don’t go out with the girls tonight I will turn to drink [Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing} [Radio] Wondering what you’re proving
You seem to good To good to be true I’m loving you longer Longer than I’m used to
Don’t go out with the boys tonight I won’t sleep a wink Wondering what you’re doing I don’t go out with the girls tonight I will turn to drink [Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing} [Radio] Wondering what you’re proving
[2x] Tug of war Sweet as sin I let go I fell in Feel the pull Call your name I’m alone Once again

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs because it’s such a happy and fun song to play with my friends, literally. This is a great song to jam on.
With a little help from my friends – Beatles
What would you think if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song And I’ll try not to sing out of key Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I get high with a little help from my friends Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away? (Does it worry you to be alone?) How do I feel by the end of the day? (Are you sad because you’re on your own?) No I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I get high with a little help from my friends Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?) I need somebody to love (Could it be anybody?) I want somebody to love
(Would you believe in a love at first sight?) Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time (What do you see when you turn out the light?) I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I get high with a little help from my friends Oh I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?) I just need someone to love (Could it be anybody?) I want somebody to love
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends Oh I get high with a little help from my friends Yes I get by with a little help from my friends With a little help from my friends
This is older music from the late 60’s. But wow! What a futuristic sound and did you ever hear a piano sound more like raindrops before? The Doors have many great songs. Check them out!
Riders on the Storm – Doors
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house we’re born Into this world we’re thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out on loan Riders on the storm
There’s a killer on the road His brain is squirmin’ like a toad Take a long holiday Let your children play If you give this man a ride Sweet family will die Killer on the road, yeah
Girl, you gotta love your man Girl, you gotta love your man Take him by the hand Make him understand The world on you depends Our life will never end Gotta love your man, yeah
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house we’re born Into this world we’re thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out on loan. Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Riders on the storm
I believe Coldplay has been the best music group of the last ten years! So their music is awesome! Enjoy this great track, one of their many wonderful songs.
Speed of Sound – Coldplay
How long before I get in? Before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like? Where To, where do I go? If you never try, then you’ll never know. How long do I have to climb, Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night, Planets are moving at the speed of light. Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get, is a chance you seize. How long am I gonna stand, with my head stuck under the sand? I’ll start before I can stop, before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand?
Ideas that you’ll never find, All the inventors could never design. The buildings that you put up, Japan and China all lit up. The sign that I couldn’t read, or a light that I couldn’t see, some things you have to believe, but others are puzzles, puzzling me.
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand, ah when you see it then you’ll understand?
All those signs, I knew what they meant. Some things you can invent. Some get made, and some get sent, Ooh? Birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand, ah, when you see it then you’ll understand?
I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today, yeah The girl that’s driving me mad Is going away
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
She said that living with me Is bringing her down yeah For she would never be free When I was around
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today yeah The girl that’s driving me mad Is going away, yeah
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me She said that living with me, Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was around
Ah, she’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care
If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand ‘Cause I’ve been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you I must be sure From the very start That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please Don’t run and hide If I love you too oh please Don’t hurt my pride like her
‘Cause I couldn’t stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two If I fell in love with you
