One last hour before this place is on fire.
Losing all as the flames grow higher and higher.
Here I stand…

The further I’m from you, the harder I try to exist.
(Take these blinds from my eyes, and wake me from the inside.)
Somebody tell me, how did it come to this?
(Take these blinds from my eyes, and wake me from the inside.)

This last hour, the night dropped into the sea.
The light spread wider, the sky broke open and free.
Here I stand…

Further out, maybe you could meet me where I am.
Further out, I know there is hope within your hands.

This song has lingered for quite a while. I have no idea why.  I know I have other songs like this one but I can’t seem to find it.

I am outside
And I’ve been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I’ve seen worlds that don’t belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
‘Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
‘Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I’d like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I’ll show myself it wasn’t forged
We’re at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

‘Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
‘Cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me
And I’ll take the truth at any cost

I think I may have posted this song before, but this is for a couple I know.

I’m playing guitar
You’re asleep upstairs
I try and be quiet
But I know you never care
Tomorrow you’ll work
And stay a little late
You’ll walk in looking pretty
This is what I’ll say

Here’s the I love you song
I know you’ve been waiting on
I’m sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right

You’ll look at me and say thank you
I’ll say you’re welcome too
You know I really do mean it
I mean it all for you
I’m sorry if I’ve been weird lately
I get so caught up
In whatever else makes me crazy

Here’s the I love you song
I know you’ve been waiting on
iIm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I’d try one more try
from the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right
I always wanted it to be just right

Well I know I know I know it’s not perfect
It’s not long enough and its too trite
Well I know I konw I know I’m not always my best for you
And though a melody won’t make it alright

The Super Mario Theme song has always been one of my favorite game theme songs, but playing it on an 11-String bass? Nice.

I was introduced to this arrangement by Jon Schmidt. The arrangement is Taylor Swift’s Love Story and Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Jon Schmidt did this for his 7 year old daughter. I’m not really very big fan of Taylor Swift but this is simply amazing. I wish I could do something like this one day.

I candy-coat and cover everything
but I’m still hiding underneath
It’s been a long time,
It’s been a long time
A thousand faces looking up at me
hands all pointing to the ceiling
Oh what a feeling

I’ve got friends in highly low places
I’m standing on post, and I’m posted up
cant afford to lose them
I’ve got friends and highly low places
I’ll go inside when I wanna party
Grab a girl and dance (don’t touch me)

Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can’t take it at all, whoa

Girl, who taught you how to move like that?
at this pace you’re at you’re at you’re going way too fast
I, I saw you from across the room
It’s me vs. every guy
It’s your choice, you choose

I’ve got friends in highly low places
it’s been a long time it’s been a long time
and maybe baby you can rise above the rest to meet me

Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can’t take it at all
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can’t take it at all,

You’re worth,
losing my self esteem
Your clever words mean
nothing more to me than
than a line i heard in a movie
You’re worth,
losing my losing my losing my self esteem
You’re not worth,
putting myself in these situations
