Songs you can't finish

Post by Ranting Thespian »

Is there any songs that you play but you just can't finish them because of emotions?

no, i can't say that there is. when i perform, i try to make it so that others feel the emotions. so i try to be emotional w/o getting too emotional. i just played a song called "Whisper" that i wrote for my grandmother after she passed away for a couple of my friends and my girlfriend the other day. they started crying. so while i can still finish the song, i still try to express as much emotion as possible while singing and still finish the song. its a better experince for the listeners.

I have a song named Emily. I can't finish playing the song all the time, because of the person in the title. Same with #40 because of the same rememberance of that person.

I play #40 over and over because I love the sound of the main riff. Just today I played Halloween for about 15 minutes, making up most of the lyrics and mumbling and raving and shouting davespeak like a drunken fool. It sounded pretty good to me, except I probably sounded like louie armstrong on crack. Seek Up I can never figure out how to stop, because I love it so much. I could play the instrumental verse for the boxer by simon and garfunkel for a long time because I love the sound when I travis pick the guitar. the same goes for the verse of Katmandu by Cat Stevens. I frequently make up lyrics for Mother Nature's Son and Helter Skelter by the beatles because I really get into them. the same goes for drive by incubus.

The "tomorrow say goodbye" part of say goodbye is so addictive because I love the sound of those three chords.
