Can't be as good as Sam Smith, but practice makes perfect?

"Sometimes the more people you surround yourself with, the lonelier you become; music becomes your sole companion"

--

I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
For a moment I believed you loved me too
But life is never like this, and you're never strong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

We'd talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn't need to
I guess I read you wrong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
I have made the decision not to answer your calls
Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all

Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
I watch where I walk before I fall
Before I fall

Sam Smith - Good Thing Acoustic Cover

So I'm calling this a "music sketch" because it's my excuse for a) singing with a cold and b) not having time to mix & master my recordings... yeah it's rough. Nevertheless, it's pretty neat how the two songs fit together so I thought I'd share it anyways! :)

Sam Smith's Vancouver concert was stellar; every last Grammy well deserved! Inspired this old school meets new school piece.

Sam Smith & Neyo - Make It To Me & So Sick Music Sketch

In celebration of our one week countdown to WorldMUN Vancouver 2012, we have released our WorldMUN song to share our excitement. The Vancouver Host Committee is very excited to meet the 2000 delegates from around the world. Welcome to Vancouver, WorldMUN 2012!

WorldMUN 2012: Welcome to Vancouver 
Singers: Eamonn, Sifat, Valerie 


The day's just started 
The fun's uncharted 
There's so many places to see 

The sun is in the sky 
The wind tickles my feet 
There's no place I rather would be 

Walk down Granville Street 
Look for a bite to eat 
And take a coffee to go 

Should I buy Chinese food, 
But Indian's just as good, 
And what about Starbucks or some Timmy Ho's? 

And though we constantly complain 
That we really hate the rain 
We secretly enjoy the sound of it's company 

CHORUS

Welcome to Vancouver 
(Ask this, try that, let your senses lead the way) 

This is Vancouver 
(Warm smile, pause a while, you'll be missing this someday) 

-

What should we do today, 
Nude beach if the sun should stay, 
Or drive up to the mountains and board on the snow 

Carpooling sounds good to me, 
We're all about sustainability, 
Especially when gas prices never are low 

At night we'll sit back with beer, 
Root for Vancouver Canucks in cheer, 
As the fire keeps us from the cold 

If we win then hurray! 
If not, then that's okay, 
Grab your skates, we'll have a game of our own 

And though we constantly complain 
That we really hate the rain 
We secretly enjoy the sound of it's company 

CHORUS 

We're not only multicultural, 
We're also a fashion capital, 
We don't only wear Timberland, jeans and plaid 

We wear leggings as pants 
And wear our Uggs to class 
Some guys like to wear urban hipster clothes 

When we're in long line you'll hear us say, 
My, what a beautiful day (yeah it is, eh?) 
I know that everything's going to be grand 

We are from Vancouver BC, 
We're the true north, strong and free 
We are all here to make you feel welcomed here during your stay 

CHORUS

Vancouver, B.C.,
We're the true north, strong and free.

Release date: Mar 4, 2012

WorldMUN 2012: Welcome to Vancouver

UBC Bookstore promo! Made in half an hour, come check out the computer section to make beats with us. Freestyle rap by 11-year-old Ryan, gangsta-name "20 Cent," mixing by... Brian. Not too sure what happened at the end there....ignore the last 10 seconds hahaha

Dropping the Bass ft. 20 Cent

I went into this without a plan. I can't play guitar, so I used the only 6 chords I knew and made some after-midnight improv. 

Lyrics:

While I've been scrambling to collect my thoughts
You've already neatly tucked our memories away in the attic 
As if our story could fit into one cardboard box

And I know I'm no longer your tenant
But won't you give me time to move on?

You've already taken my heart
you've already taken all I have
you've drained every last bit 
 
I don't even have any more tears, so please 
don't take my dignity foreclosure too
this is the last piece of hope I have
but I promise I'll still make due

Please, I need my dignity for closure too.

Foreclosure

Dear Kids of the World,
Have you stopped and told your mother that you love her today?
Have you thanked her for all the times she has stopped to hold your hand?
Never stop holding your mama's hand.
No matter how old you are,
Everyone is someone's child...
And you'll never stop being her little girl.

--- LYRICS

Mama I remember when I was young
You tied my hair in braids and put my shoes on
And then you told me 
You're a big girl now, baby

My first day of school you sent me off with a hug and a kiss
And never once did you say that you would miss me
But you'd wait as I walk inside, and never touch your car keys

You, you make me everything I am
Everything I stand for
Everything I do
 
You, you taught me everything I know
And every time I miss you
I'd smile 
Because I know no matter if you see it
You'd smile right back at me

Mama I remember when I was a kid
I was holding your hand,and asked you when I got big
Would it be okay
If we still held hands this way

I  remember so clearly what you said that day
Gave me a hug and your eyes looked at me so warmly 
You said my hand will always be here, as long as you're willing

Mama,  you make me everything I am
Everything I stand for
Everything I do
 
Mama, you taught me everything I know
And this   I will promise you
Always
I will always stop to your hand
As you always did for me

I   love you 
I   love you 
I   love you 

Happy Mother's Day
