over again..yeah people keep on axin' me to play it or to teach it to 'em but i only remember the intro..i need to learn it again..and all of these other songs that i forgot how to play........yeah...well sides that well yeah kuzz yeah i kan relate to the song title..sigh...yeah...but hey i got to talk to her today..well online...but still tho...i still cherish every momment...hehe..regardless on the phone or online..yeah i know online is kinda kaka..but hey u know me i'm always online...yeah ...hmm oh yeah D kame over last night...yeah it was pretty dope...like at first we were chillen' to some of these hawaiian reggae artists and hawaiian songs...damn their language is dope..u dunno what the hellt hey're saying but it sounds nice and kalm and serene..u know itz like 'yeeahhh'' u jus feel like chillin...yeah...i still need to burn the cd...yeah i think i'll b listening to that for a while..yeah..hmm then like he sang what he had so far for his song..yeah he told me like last week that he wanted to kome over so we kan record and work on this song that he's working on...yeah he told me like "itz the best song i've done so far"..and it turns out it is..hehe..yeah so yeah after him singing it...he asked me to play some chords and we sorta got it...i figured out the main notes on the guitar..then i suggested we go to the keyboard and if i kould figure it out there..and yeah he played the notes..and guess what i figured out what chords to use w/ the help of the keyboard...krazzzzyyy hahaha..yeah he suggested which ones were bettter..but we settled w/ C,D,E...yeah we played around w/ that for a while mixin' it around but it stuck w/ the C,D,E..yeah...then he told me to like pick/pluck the verses then strum the chorus..and thatz what i did...yeah so i jus kept on playing those chords and he told me when to change it..yeah..like u know change from one chord to the next...and yeah he sung over it akouple times..and told me the kind of stuff he had planned in his head for the song..and we worked itout...then well basically he then told me he wanted to bridge to b like allout...like increase it up a notch..the klimactic part of the song u know..so i strummed something and he's like "yeah thatz perfect" yeah so i was jus playing it to get it down while he was komin' up w/ a bridge and a lil ending verse..yeah it was dope..yeah like when i was getting ready to record the guitar..kuz i usually do the guitar track first..kuz yeah itz easier for everything to flow after that..yeah i kept on messin' up..and i get nervous usually..kuz i'm also the "producer" haha or the "sound engineer" haha so i'm recording and i'm also playing so if i mess up i gotta start from skratch and do it all over again....yeah so like i practiced it like 2 whole times through..and yeah so i wouldn't mess up w/ the counts kuz itz basically me playing the same thing and changin it up a lil here and there for the whole song D sat in front of me and would give me signals to do certiain things liek nock on the guitar in the middle of the verse and stuff...and to start strumin' for the chorus..yeah after a while of like jammin' w/ D on it i got the feeling down..i dont' usually kount all that much or worrya bout kounting now...yeah so i got my guitar track down..and we listened to it..and he wasl ike "good stuff" then he started practicing his singing..but we got some water first..hehe then we went back to work...yeah he tried it once and it was goin good but he said he felt that he was going sharp on the "s's" yeah so we did it again and it kame through..then we stopped and listened..then we decided what to do for the other tracks..well we trashed the bass..kuz i took kover of the bass notes...for half of the ending...yeah so we settled on backing vocals on one track and addlibs and bongos for the other one hehe..yeah i got a chance to record my bongos..krazy..yeah it sounded pretty dope..yeah like i need more practice w/ the bongoz timinig wize..but not bad for a guy who's going off of rhythm..yeah...after we got all done..we listened to it..yeah itz purdy dope...yeah...i'll play it for u
