Brand New Banjo - 3.7.13.

Took me couple minutes to get it down but I think it’s the instrument made for me.

Heart Of Stone - (Original) song by Ryan Escalante

Lyrics

Everything is wrong, everything is wrong

The one I love is gone yes the one I love is gone

This life aint ours for long yes this life aint ours for long

So we have to play along yes we have to play along

And it must have been someone who left you all alone

Must have been someone who turned your heart to stone

Heard you found someone yes I heard you found someone

You go have your fun yes you go have your fun

And love is like a gun yes love is like a gun

Shoots you when it’s done, shoots you when its done.

(Bridge)

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

When I have hit the road when I have hit the road

You hate to be alone you hate to be alone

And now you’ll never know, now you’ll never know

(Bridge)

Lovin, lovin, love is free but you can’t take what you don’t need….

And indeed it was, you can never go wrong with a pair from Warby Parker. I have 3 pairs and have been more then impressed with each one.

So I will be upgrading from GarageBand to Logic Pro 9 tomorrow because I finally make enough income to do so. For some reason complications have made it impossible for me to get today but it should be all sorted by tomorrow. Anyways I’m looking forward to operating with Logic, considering I’ve been using GarageBand since I was about 14 it should not be a big change for use; though the outcome will be quite substantial. More to work with and I’ve wanted to use Logic for years so I can’t wait to experiment when I get the chance.

Stay tuned friends and have a beautiful day.

Take Me Home - Original Song By: Ryan Escalante

Lyrics

I need a nice warm place to sleep tonight The bar is closing they’re turning off the lights I know we don’t know each other really But it’s getting dark and awfully chilly

Take me by the hand because I can’t see straight Well lets get out of here it’s getting late You know I don’t mind if you steal me Just take me by the hand or I look silly

And I hope you don’t mind but I just have to know Will you take me home?

Let’s sleep in we’ll have a lazy day I’ll get to know yah and you’ll get to know me I like the way you look when you sleep I’m still awake but this feels like a dream

How can I forget it? You’ll never regret it The answer was yes the moment I said it And I’m so glad that I got to go Are you happy that you took me home?

And I hope you don’t mind but I just have to know Will you take me home?

I need somebody who can treat me right Not just a bed to spend the night I was so fooled by the game of love I needed a push she gave me a shove

How can I forget it? You’ll never regret it The answer was yes the moment I said it And I’m so glad that I got to go Are you happy that you took me home?
