This is the first original song I've posted on SoundCloud!

LYRICS:
They told me, “These songs all sound the same. Can you hear it?
That same old, tired refrain, can you hear it?”
And I think, “Do I have it in me?”
‘cause I don’t think I’m witty enough
to write something you would listen to.

 (Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to give it the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

They told her, “Hey, girl, you look all wrong. Can you see it?
Too dark, too thin, too tall. Can you see it?”
And she thinks, “Do I have it in me?”
'cause she don't think she's pretty enough
to be the face they put up on the screen.

(Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to give it the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

Don’t make a sound.
They’ll come around.
And they will find
that the ones who they just paid no mind
were just who they've been needing all this time.

If they say, “You just don’t have the stuff,” go and get it.
Keep them in mind and make them regret it.

(Whoa) It’s bad ‘cause it’s better; it’s bad ‘cause it’s back.
(Whoa) They get something new; they don’t know how to react.
(Whoa) We’ll try to it them the best we have,
but if perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.
If perfect’s what they need, good luck with that.

Good Luck with That (Original Song, Acoustic Demo)

I think this is one of my favorite arrangements I've ever done! Stay for the final chorus!

LYRICS:
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (oh)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

LYRICS:
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That you're alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been

The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face
And it takes a song to come around
To show you how

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been

Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been

You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I'm driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement

You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I'm driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement

Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh
That you're alive and have a soul, oh, oh
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been

My heart is my armor
She's the tear in my heart
She's a carver
She's a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I've ever been

Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been

My heart is my armor
She's the tear in my heart
She's a carver
She's a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I've ever been

Tear in My Heart (twenty one pilots Acoustic Cover)

Taking it back a couple of decades for this one! You've probably heard covers by Letters to Cleo, KSM and many more! Originally released in 1979, this is "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick!

Check out my YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/Greenie369

LYRICS:
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me


I Want You to Want Me (Cheap Trick Acoustic Cover)

A piano-based cover of "Lips of An Angel" by Hinder

Lips of An Angel

I haven't done a mash-up in a while! Bringing together the old and the new for this one!

Obligatory YouTube mention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15BMKZKkvpU

LYRICS:
She had a face straight outta magazine
God only knows but you'll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun he's begging, "Babe, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay."

With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait– without you

I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
Will I know you

Well, now that you've got your gun
It's much harder now the police have come
Now I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
But if you just take off your mask
You'd find out everything's gone wrong.

I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
I can't live with or without you.

You look so cool.
You look so cool.
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
(x2)

"Robbers"/"With Or Without You" - The 1975/U2 (Acoustic Mash-Up)

I leave for college tomorrow. I'm terrified.

LYRICS:
Someone, please save us, us college kids!
What my parents told me is what I did
They said, "Go to school and be a college kid."
But, in the end, I questioned why I did

I'm poor. I'm starving. I'm flat broke. I've got no cash to spend
Sell all my books for front row tickets to Dave Matthews Band
My girlfriend's at another school. I know this year will test her
I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester

And that's why I say:

Oh no! Not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No! Arts and Crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy and then I'll make a fake degree

Eighty grand later, I found out that all that I had learned
Was that you should show up to take your finals and your mid-terms
The party scene is kind of mean. I think it's sick and twisted
The Navy showed up at my door and claimed that I enlisted

Don't get excited. She'll say "no" without a doubt, you see
I've decided college girls just won't go out with me
They make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
Like cell phone service, I drop out cuz college is too hard

It's time to call my father
Cuz it's his alma mater
Good grades aren't what they seem
I think he knows the dean
It's time to call my father
Cuz it's his alma mater
But college always was his dream
And I would always say, "It's not for me."

Someone, please save us, us college kids!
What my parents told me is what I did
They said, "Go to school and be a college kid."
But, in the end, I questioned why I did

Do what will make you happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters:
Learn how to live your life
Do what will make God happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters:
Learn how to live your life

College Kids (Relient K Acoustic Cover)

Just a short cover to test out my new Snowball iCE microphone! I added a little reverb in Mixcraft 6.

LYRICS:
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels, sing from above
Everyday words seem
To turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

LYRICS:
Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill
Daylight's still a long time coming
But I know it will
Been under this spell, oh, but we're coming awake
So we'll be rude, we'll be loud
As long as it takes

This is why, this is why, 
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right
Sing

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

We keep cranking the music up
Driving through our towns
But they don't wanna hear
They want us to turn it down
So come on lovers, come on haters
Tonight we raise the fire
Cause when the people get to dancing
They forget about taking sides

This is why, this is why, 
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right
Sing

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

(For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)
(Opposite, opposite reaction)

We're coming awake, out of your spell, 
As long as it takes, we're coming awake

We're coming awake, out of your spell, 
As long as it takes, we're coming awake

This is why, this is why, 
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

I said, this is why, this is why
We're tearing it up all night
Oh this is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
(Oh yeah)
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

LYRICS:
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart
Anymore

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time

So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, anymore

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart
Anymore

Hello (Adele Acoustic Cover)

I have been consumed by the black hole that is Hamilton. There is no escape. I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice that these two songs are sound similar, but I am the first person to mash them up. HAH! (USE HEADPHONES, PLEASE.)

LYRICS:
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes. You have your mother’s name
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I’m dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart

Oh it's what you do to me (x5)
What you do to me

Hey there, Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

You will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away…
Someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday

My father wasn’t around
I swear that
I’ll be around for you.  
I’ll do whatever it takes
I’ll make the world safe and sound for you… (x2)

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock at night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

What are you doing New Year's

LYRICS:
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart

I can't believe I forgot your name
Oh baby won't you come again?
She said "I've got a problem with your shoes and your tunes
But I might move in" and
"I thought that you were straight, now I'm wondering"

You're so conceited
I said "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through
So don't you tell me that you 'just don't get it'
Cause I know you do.

Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart

It's not about reciprocation it's just all about me
A sycophantic, prophetic, Socratic junkie wannabe
There's so much skin to see
A simple Epicurean Philosophy
And you say I'm such a cliche,
I can't see the difference in it either way.
And we left things to protect my mental health
But you call me when you're bored and you're playing with yourself

You're so conceited
I said "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through
So don't you tell me that you 'just don't get it'
Cause I know you do.

Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart

Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart

LYRICS:
Hey. How you doing? Well, I'm doing just fine.
I lied I'm dying inside.
I'm broke, I'm stressed, my desk is a mess.
I guess there's nowhere to hide.
Just when I do one thing right, I do another wrong.
But other than that, I'm fine.
Yeah, I'm just fine.

Hey. How you doing? Well, I'm doing just fine.
I lied I'm dying inside.
I don't wanna go to class 'cause I likely won't pass.
Don't ask. I swear that I tried.
If the sound of tears had a melody, it'd be my theme song.
But other than that, I'm fine.
Yeah, I'm just fine.

Life can be a mother sometimes, and this suffering is its daughter.
I'm drowning, and this world of mine don't seem to believe in water.
I need some rest, and I'm a bit depressed,
but I'll swim a few feet farther.
I'm not a hundred percent sure,
but I might just reach the shore.

Hey. How you doing? Well, I'm doing just fine.
I lied I'm dying inside. (x4)

Hey.
Though it's hard for me to say,
I pray one day I may be alright.

LYRICS:
Dear head, shut up
I can't listen no more
It's late, so shut up
Is one night too much to ask for

You are a haunted house
You're superstitious
You are the coldest stone-carved marble faces

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole
I'm barely standing on the ground
All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all
I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

With you, with you, with you, with you again
With you, with you, with you, with you again

This bed, on fire
I can't sleep here no more
Too late and tired
Dreaming down on the floor

I'm a haunted house
I'm superstitious
I am a cardboard cutout, old and faded

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole
I'm barely standing on the ground
All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all
I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

With you, with you, with you, with you again
With you, with you, with you, with you again

With you, with you, with you, with you again
With you, with you, with you, with you again

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole (I won't fall down, I won't fall down)
I'm barely standing on the ground (Barely standing on the ground)
All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all
I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole (I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole)

Oh, oh [x6]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
