Wednesday, June 18, 2008White Guitar 18th June 2008
White guitar sings to the world,
White guitar plays notes that are queer.
White guitar is all that I can hear and
I hear the truth that the strings whisper.
White guitar strums but no one else would hear.
But I’ll believe in you
Cause’ I get your tune.
Your melody cautions me,
All the cruelties that are surrounding me.
Is there anything whiter than the white guitar?
Is there anything purer than the white guitar?
And is there anything truer than the white guitar?
No, yeah, it’s alone.
White guitar stands at a corner
Collecting dust, no one picks it up.
Sometimes, it sits on the bed,
with no one to embrace.
Is there anything whiter than the white guitar?
Is there anything purer than the white guitar?
And is there anything truer than the white guitar?
No, yeah, it’s alone.
White guitar sings to the world.
But the world wouldn’t listen.Besides studying, the June "holidays" enabled me to write a couple of songs but this is the one im most pleased with. It all started when I saw the lomographic Diana+ camera that i bought from Japan sitting on my bed then i turned from the computer and i saw it like that and "White camera sitting on the bed" came into my mind, but then i did not go any further than that until just now when i was studying at Macs (i know right, people get their inspiration from walking in the streets of Venice, or drinking coffee at some street cafe in France or when listening to the breeze and watching the sunset at some beach and i get mine from studying at Macs.) anyway 'white guitar' came up suddenly and i hurried to write the first verse on a piece of post-it that i also used to kill a baby cockroach crawling on the wall next to me(new piece of course). damn Macs. the first thing i did when i got home from 2 hrs of unproductive studying was to write the whole thing with my guitar. i was so tempted to record the whole thing on my DAW but i stowed it away in view of the A levels, it's a form of distraction you see. but looks like keeping it away did not work.
This is an attempt to sound all Damien Rice-ish but it's not something i just write for the SAKE of writing it, it holds alot of meaning for me.
if Vannee is reading this, she would be like 'EMO SIOLLL.'
Counsultation with Ms K toms. i am
sooo looking forward to it.
and i dont think im prepared enough for BT2s.
