When you tell a story where nobody listens, does it make a sound?

Suburban Nobody

she's out there, locking and unlocking doors

The House Where You'll Meet Your Wife

Smoking In the Greenbelt

swirling thoughts, familiar senses and feelings that drift

A Bygone Era

Für Elise is surely one of the most famous compositions of all time, by Ludwig van Beethoven, the German composer from the 17 & 1800s. Famous for getting the kroovy boiling of Alex from A Clockwork Orange, and famous for many other things, being deaf for instance, this piece is instantly recognizable on piano or guitar.

I hope my rendition of Für Elise proves to be the same. I tried to pick out the most recognizable part by ear, then added my own guitar elements to fill it out and give it my own spin. Those guitar parts may feel blasphemous and out of the spirt of the original documentation of Für Elise. But, they were fun to play and I hope you enjoy listening to these Für Elise variations on acoustic guitar.

Für Elise Variations for Guitar - Ludwig van Beethoven

forever wondering
if I was ever really
up for the moment
in the bright city lights
and the dark, wet streets

just a humid memory

Goodbye, good night

Sons and dopers

Entertainment system

Glow from a distant city

Visitors from another planet

Night patrol

Black tattered dress

Fell off a pyramid

Bamboo prison

cold dark of space
bears witness to its brilliant, icy tail
streaking without purpose
collecting, attracting, destroying
with beauty
if anyone is there to see

Comet

let us reach into the innermost circles
and conjure the innocent magic
that still lies waiting
sleeping in secret
yet with open ear

Evocation

Hurry now, it'll be late soon.
I want to grab an ice cream,
And sit with you awhile
before we sleep.

meet me by the marble fountain

starts out loads of fun
I mean it
but after awhile
it starts to spin 

Too much gin
