With her own song this time….

YouTube Channel: shanifawni

Lyrics:

hey boy its time to wake up
even though this neighborhood is still cement and carefully planned trees
yeah i dont know what to do either
this place isnt what we dreamed it last night
last night when we dreamed it there were
jungle flowers and vines strung from our bed so high
so we danced all night
we swung our legs from the side
us and and all our friends sang the best songs we knew
in the kitchen in the middle of our high

sunshine, please don’t show up
i know this neighborhood is still cement and carefully planned trees
i know that i need you on my skin
but dont remind me of what i’m waking up to
the keychain, the car, the quiet drive home
my bags are not packed so i can’t go just yet
so we danced all night
we swung our legs from the side
us and all our friends said the best words we knew
in the kitchen in the middle of the night

Love the uke-bongo….

Another original from a real talent….

Her Notes: finally had a chance to record something, winter break rocks

every time i want to slow down things just get faster every deeper breath we take just makes the air a little thinner this apparent contradiction is a blessing and affliction and it all feels much more worth it through the lens of retrospection all the bad things i remember still have something fine to teach me and i know that if i live honest somehow good things are to reach me i don’t want you to think me so melancholy but the ups and downs play equal parts in finding any meaning

breath in breath out eyes closed eyes wide open right foot left foot mad sad happy jokin just goin through the motions day dreams silent sleeping just making not to fake it never sleeping forever waking up

there are people in this world who cause more questions than they answer know trying to solve everyone just makes the tiny details fester there are things best left to chance, not fate, just simple happenstance roots reach much deeper than puppet strings a lesson’s here somewhere

this songs stuck in my head spinning round round round till i know every secret meaning i could ever find the signifiers broken down and metaphors all analyzed and i know it wasn’t written for me but i feel it sings to everything i see and all i’m ever gonna see and all i’m ever gonna do and all that i still do not know about me what would you do if you had the chance
to clear something up ask to redo a big fuck up
isn’t it nice to imagine chance to relive your whole past again and again, again and again and again how would you grow with the chance to know all that you should expect anticipate the nextstep surely theres value in the ability to adapt again and again, again and again and again

Merry Christmas to all….

Dave Bamberger – Bass
Instruments – Dec 21, 2010

Song written by Frank Loesser.

I _think_ the original version was recorded by The Orioles in 1949, but there’s a really early Les Paul/Dick Haymes version too, so who knows? Music nerds better than me at musc nerdin’, that’s who.
Oh yeah, and I forgot until this very moment that the Carpenters did it, too. So yeah.
