Hey everyone, here is my uber songbook. With the lyrics of the song, a link to me playing the song will be at the end of the video. I hope that you guys enjoy it, and I do enjoy criticism, especially from people that know what they're talking about. Please keep in mind that I'm a 16 year old kid, who's been playing music from the cradle, and I do play out professionally. What else do I need to say? Without further ado...here's a piece of my song book. Tanner Thompson: Burn The Memories Overview: This package of songs are all of my best. Plans for taking these tracks and making them into a CD are very realistic. This summer, this CD will be available, and hopefully be up on iTunes as well. As long as my manager lets me, of course. Most of these songs were written this year, and are all about the same girl. Originally, this album was going to be called "The Reed Moyer Album", (The name of the girl who most of the songs are about) as a joke, but then I decided better of it. Although I am a sap, granted, this girl had meant the world to me, and I gave her my world, only for her to take it away. The order of the songs is the order of the songs on the CD. [hide=Rett Meer't] Author's Note: I wrote this song awhile back, yet I was hesitant to put it down. I found an opportunity to further demonstrate from country music, and getting away from the whole "I loved this girl, and she doesn't like me, and I'm going to go cut my wrists and let her watch me bleed out." This song is a comedy, and I really hope that a 6'4 boy named Rett Meer't don't come knocking on my door. So without further ado, "It's called C-U-N-T-R-Y" ~ Tanner Thompson Verse 1: Well he comes walkin in, with that Ginger hair. The only person that could be, is Rett Meer't I saw you on Facebook, talking smack about me, To a fine blond haired girl, you know who I mean Chorus: Get back to college, get on that horse. Or let my boot in your [wagon], be your guiding force. This school ain't big enough, for you and me, So If you wanna tussle, I play mean. Rett Meer't Verse 2 Well I am ready when you read this. I can max out bench-press at 'bout 86. I've been workin real hard, eating right. You wanna mess with this tennis star's bod, do it tonight. Verse 3: Meet me at the bar, at a quarter to nine, You can even watch the show, get some fine dining. Bring your gun, I'll bring my crew. I promise that I'll let them show you. Chorus: Get back to college, get on that horse. Or let my boot in your [wagon], be your guiding force. This school ain't big enough, for you and me, So If you wanna tussle, I play mean. Rett Meer't Bridge: Well your little brother can have her sister, That's fine by me. Get in the middle of what i'm trying to do, well that's a place you don't wanna be. Chorus: Get back to college, get on that horse. Or let my boot in your [wagon], be your guiding force. This school ain't big enough, for you and me, So If you wanna tussle, I play mean. Rett Meer't [/hide] [hide=Someday (First song I wrote ever)] Me playing Someday on guitar Author's Note: Having recently been caught into the religion of putting my songs on facebook, this song is the one with the most dust on it. Yes, this is the very first song I ever had written. In my life. This song isn't for anyone in particular, because the person that I wrote this song for...well she/he doesn't matter anymore...I was just kidding about the he part but...yeah. If you must know, this song was about one of my first unsuccessful school crushes in my Freshmen Year of high school. I hope that somehow, people can relate to the diminishing hope in their hearts that someday they'll be able to be with this person that they want, regardless if they are seeing someone else or not. Well, tell me what you think, It's simple, but catchy. Verse 1: I saw you again today with him, I couldn't help but thinkin when you would be rid of him, It kills me to think about you loving someone else, I guess I can only hope, that someday you'll be with me. Someday, my lady, someday. Verse 2: I woke up yesterday, feelin pretty down. But you gave me a smile and you turned my mood around, I pray to God every night before I go to bed, Praying someday, my lady, someday. Instrumental Break: Verse 3: Who can't help to get lose in those green eyes of yours, Whoever gets to taste your kiss is a pretty lucky man, I'm starting to doubt that I even have a chance, But maybe someday, we'll walk hand in hand. Outro: Someday, my lady, someday. Someday, my lady, someday. [/hide] [hide=Say] Me playing Say on guitar and singing Author's Note: The third, and final song that I have been working on for me 3 song/A Month status quo for the Hot Chile Pepper Songwriting Group. Feel free to have your opinions and such, this song is much more lighter than perhaps my Cyanide Suicide album's "Fake." This song isn't creepy, It's honest, so don't tell me any different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO8jA-d9Q3M Pain is universal. Odds are if it means something to you, it means something to someone else. ~ Zachary Charles Sheneman Verse 1: I remember when I first saw you, Just a few years ago, Sitting in that auditorium, You, all alone. My friend called you over, I never knew your name. He did what any wingman would do, but you just walked away. Pre-Chorus: And I didn't really think much of it all. But who knew how hard for you I'd fall? Chorus: Say. How beautiful you are. Say. How sad I feel, when your not around. There's so much I want to say. There's so much I'll never say. Verse 2: I remember when I first talked to you, Just a few months ago, You apologized for your sister, On that crush on my best friend hoax. I thought I'd never get over it, As I watched my friends in vain. But then I started to realize, You could ease all my pain. Pre-Chorus: And I didn't really think much of it all. But who knew how hard for you I'd fall? Chorus: Say. How beautiful you are. Say. How sad I feel, when your not around. There's so much I want to say. There's so much I'll never say. [GEETAR SOLO!] Verse 3: I remember when I first danced with you, Just a few days ago. Your arms wrapped around my neck, with that pretty corsage. And we laughed, and danced, and talked the whole night through. I didn't think that there would be anyone, If I couldn't be with you. Prechorus: And you dropped me off, As I said goodbye. I had missed a chance of a lifetime, as I got home and cried. Chorus: Say. How beautiful you are. Say. How sad I feel, when your not around. There's so much I want to say. There's so much I'll never say. [/hide] [hide=Over You] Me playing Over You on guitar and singing Verse 1: I do what I can to get through each day This feeling inside me, It won't go away. If a few simple chords could win your heart, And some soothing lyrics, hey babe that's a start. Verse 2: I'm not sure what made me set you apart, I'm not sure what made me try so hard. Maybe It's your smile, or the way you look at me, The happy mood your always in, or your flawless beauty. Verse 3: If you play with fire, your bound to get burned. I know I shouldn't of messed with you, cause I got hurt. I've been cut down to nothing, by feelings of hate, And you could of saved me before It would of been too late. Verse 4: Well I've taken your drug and you know it too, And with each passing day, I get a little more over you I try to get, a little more over you. [/hide] More to come, I just have to go to Musical Practice right now :/
