Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here – Acoustic Cover

In one take – here’s a cover of a Pink Floyd song called “Wish You Were Here” Its such a classic and not too sure I’ve done it any justice, but I’ve always really liked to play it – so why not share? Not too sure about the mic placement as the vocals seem a bit low compared to the guitar, but oh the joy of live recordings…

A little factoid – Jubee (4 years old) was patiently waiting off to the side while I recorded this (he had just received a new guitar from his Uncle Nam). Stick around to the end for a little surprise.

You’ve stumbled onto my online journal, “Outrageous Thoughts of Babble”. I started this journal back in 1997 thus pre-dating terms such as “blogging,” which makes me feel secretively proud (snicker). Its purpose has always remained the same — to record life’s events as they happen – for they do happen quickly and fleetingly. Enjoy! 🙂

I’m still beaming from the afterglow. Thank you Wifey Elizabeth for the warm Birthday wishes and ever-awesome November babies Birthday party. Cousin Joel and I were showered with so many flattering compliments, and each song felt like a gift.  Especially when “coming to” after a song, opening my eyes and seeing all those wonderful smiles and heartfelt reactions.  I couldn’t have asked for a better celebration.

I am fortunate - for I have you by my side, Wifey Elizabeth.  Happy Birthday to all!  To love, friends, and family.

I’ve been having rubber bridge guitar envy lately — there’s been some controversy whether this is the same as palm muting or whatever, there’s still a uniqueness to this sound. Especially when a little reverb and delay is added to the mix of the guitar. Besides, after doing a little research, I found this little cool gadget that attaches to the strings of a tennis racket — this one is called the Babolat Vibrakill, and I picked it up through Amazon.  It has six slots and fits a guitar perfectly.  I just thought it was a cool guitar hack. Enjoy!

Feel free to follow me along on this musical journey!

Here’s a video from the other night — at West Coast Songwriters open mic at Berkeley’s Gilman. After having such a rough day, I didn’t get a chance to rehearse this half-written song, I rushed out of the house and drove up to Berkeley. I forgot a jacket and was freezing. I even grabbed the wrong guitar running out of the house, but all I knew was that I wanted to just go and just play.  For some reason, I was expecting a songwriting working session. 4 guys in a room working through their songs, was to work through this song and fix this and finish that — instead, it was a room full of great folks!  And I was just enjoying everyone’s songs. So I was to close out this show — and I just played it out there. I had a bad day. I didn’t like the first verse - certainly a draft. Let’s work through this song - please help with what you think, I said.

As I played through the song, I just felt better and more complete - I felt like I was getting myself back to center.

What I reminded myself of — is that music heals. As I worked through the song, I just felt better and better.  By the end, I just knew the day would be alright.  And all would be alright.

Song - Kissed You Then

V1: 
I couldn’t wait to wake up this morning
Looking forward to the day
We were finally gonna run up that mountain
And see what we find along the way 

Driving in the hills by the sunset
Playing Springsteen tapes, sang all the songs
Head back in by the evening
Hope I dream about you all night long

C:
Cause life, life happens
Life, can’t take back time
I wished that I had kissed you then
Would you be just mine
Wished that I had kissed you then
All would be just fine

V2:
Last time I saw you at the party
Hair was longer, you found someone new
You looked so happy, so brilliant, so free
Had matching rings, and matching tattoos

Chorus

B:
I know it can’t be sound
I know things have their place
And if we could turn back time
It won’t take
It just won’t take

Happy Friday to you! I wanted to shoot this quick video for I had a quick reminder the other day of why I love music and songwriting. I was basically having a bad long day — its was just one of those days. It was just progressing to be worse and worse, and I finally just ran out the door with my lyric sheet and guitar, and drove up to Berkeley to play at an open mic show.  Needless to say, I was going to play a new song - one that was half done. I had meant to practice, maybe even finish the song a couple of hours prior, but just didn’t have time. By the time I showed up in Berkeley, I was freezing for I realized I forgotten to grab a jacket. I even grabbed the wrong guitar! Unrehearsed, unfinished song, I was trying to remember the melody even. 

I was fortunate to close out the show, but up front and apologetic, I figured it wasn’t going to go well.  But, you know what? I wasn’t there to display perfection.  I was just there to share this song that was half done. The more I sang and played the guitar, the better I felt.  By the end of it, I just felt so much better. And folks loved it. 😃<— bonus!

That was a quick reminder for me that music heals. It heals me. It’s my therapy. And if I share it, and it helps heal someone else too? That’s even better.

I’ll be sure to post the recording to that song soon!  Stay tuned! And if you’re new to my IG, welcome, and click FOLLOW

Thanks so much!

Here’s a clip from the song, “A Place Called Us”. 😃 In the background, was one of the first times I played the song live. The lyrics were still new and raw — and still not finalized yet. I was, and still am, appreciative that I had the opportunity to see if the song resonated with folks.

Happy Friday to you! 😃 The song “A Place Called Us” is released TODAY! It’s available on all streaming platforms- if you could, could you please give it a listen?  So much hard work went into this track by so many people — it really was a great collaborative effort. Folks who helped produce, mix, master, and also those who provided input and feedback to music and lyrics along the way.

And I just wanted to extend a warm thank you to you - for always having my back and letting me indulge in this insane and fantastic hobby of music. Your support means more than you would ever know.  Thank you.
