An edited recording of Josh and I playing a song I wrote. May possibly delete this later on and upload a more polished longer version.

Death is Real

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

Vestapol is an open D Major tuning for the guitar. This means that if a guitar tuned in Vestapol is strummed without fretting any notes, it will produce a D Major chord (D A D F# A D).

Vestapol tuning was used quite often in the parlor guitar music that was popular from the mid-1800s to the turn of the century. It got its name from the 1854 publication of an instrumental called “The Siege of Sevastopol,” named after the eleven-month siege of a Russian naval base at Sevastopol in the Ukraine during the Crimean War.

“The Siege of Sevastopol” being something of a mouthful, the tune became known as “Vastapol” and then “Vestapol.”

While white Victorians were enjoying “Vestapol” in their parlors, African-American guitarists were also performing it. Acoustic blues historian Stefan Grossman reports first hearing Elizabeth Cotten play “The Siege of Sevastopol” in the 1960s. Grossman discovered different versions–as well as use of the song’s open D Major tuning–in recordings by Mississippi John Hurt, Furry Lewis, and other blues guitarists.

Slide master Elmore James used the Vestapol tuning to rock out on “Dust My Broom,” his electrified cover of Robert Johnson’s “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom.” Blues legend Robert Jr. Lockwood, who lived with Robert Johnson for seven years while Lockwood’s mother was Johnson’s girlfriend, told me that Johnson “tuned it [his guitar] in Spanish [open G Major] and in Vestapol.”

Sevastopol (Rhythm 'n Meldody)

Lord how do I start
To say all in my heart?

Lord I can no longer see
What you want me to be

I sit under Jonah’s shade
And wait and wait

I sat under Jonah’s vines
For such a long time

And what did you show?
I don’t know

I don’t know
I don’t know

Lord if you’re never gone
Why do I feel so alone?

Lord if you know the outcome
Why are these trials run?

I sat under Jonah’s leaves
And what did I see?

I don’t know
I don’t know

I don't know
I don't know

Raise my eyes and lift my mind
Lift my weights take all that is mine

Raise my eyes and lift my mind
Lift my wings take all that is mine

If I could I’d give all to you
But I can’t so what will I do?
What will I do?

What will I do?

i hope this sounds familiar bc it's just a rewrite of "may 2", now ft. new life experiences! 

lyrics:
do you like me cause i’m green
i don’t wanna come off mean
but i think i’m terrified of you

you think you’re rushing into it
but i run faster than i like to admit
it seems easy to believe you

can u tell i’m new to this
don’t wanna give in

do you like to take control
i think you’ve consumed me whole
but i, i don’t really mind it

you think i’m a little dumb
i’ll let you think you’ve already won
i’ll play so easy to please

can u tell i’m new to this
don’t wanna give in

take my wrist and lead the way   
give me something good to blame
take my words and spit them out
give me something to feel about
cause i’m sick of how quickly the cold sets in again
another year passes but i still think of then
