Top Of The Tree - Demo - with home made vintage chocolate tin three string strummer

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/
Bit of a mid life crisis song, about getting older and stuff : -/...the music's quite upbeat though!.
I'm playing my vintage chocolate tin strummer, which can be seen better on this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-TgxtJ5yWK0

LYRICS

The sun comes UP, the sun goes DOWN,
and everything is changing all the time.

I breath IN, I breath OUT.
Now you're not here and nothing is the same.

I FILL my glass. I EMPTY it.
We all drink more since you are not around.

You were HERE, then you were GONE,
and I'm still trying hard to understand.

I was YOUNG, now I'm OLD,
and I am at the top of the tree.
Don't wannna be on top of the tree.
Not ready for the top of the tree!!

Nice little diddy!!!

Comment by bemuzic on December 13, 2012 at 7:49am: thanks Maddog, yeah I think there's a few of us on here that are at the top of the tree!

Uncle John, it was you reminding me that I hadn't done a vid in a while that prompted me to do this one. Ha, that's not what my daughter says. When I hit fifty I was talking to her about being middle aged, and she said "You're not middle aged!" I asked her what I was, thinking she might be going to say that I was still young?? but no, she said "Most people don't live until they're 100...you're OLD" : -/

thanks Stewy

Digly, thanks, lol did it look casual? It felt a bit panicked!

BD, cheers..yeah the Cambridge sound with CBG and harp! I must play it more, it goes so well with CBG's..don't really know wtf I'm doing?!

thanks bug, ...ha, the looper doesn't do it for you! Keep practising that first loop : -)

Oh and thanks John re the harp...I can just manage a short burst here and there!

Comment by Uncle John on December 13, 2012 at 7:16am: Holey buckets, I added my comment before you picked up the harp. Wow. Good harp too!

Comment by BUGGY (C) on December 13, 2012 at 5:36am: Pure tallent...love it....

(why cant I get my looper to do that!!)

Comment by Diglydog on December 13, 2012 at 5:08am: Great song Be, and nice harp playing. I like the way you casually grab it off the top of the amp.

Being on top of a tree isn't such a bad way to have a mid-life crisis - I've seen a lot worse :-)

Comment by Reeds Taylor on December 13, 2012 at 4:25am: great job Be.

Comment by Uncle John on December 13, 2012 at 4:21am: Current fave Bemuzic vid.

Comment by Uncle John on December 13, 2012 at 4:20am: You are NOT old. Wonderful. All of it. You and the looper. Great tune. Poetic lyrics. Your cool music room and a REAL wood fire. Puts me in a good mood. My current bemuzic vid.

Comment by Maddog on December 13, 2012 at 4:19am: Very nice Be! I guess I never looked at it as being at the top of the tree, I am there :-(

P.S. The fire looks cozy.
