I wrote two love songs (and 3 other songs) (1 Viewer)

Hey all.  I like to fool around on my acoustic guitar, I’m not all that great, mostly self taught but I love it.  I’ve posted a couple covers here in the FFA at some point.

Anyway, I just wrote a couple of love songs over the last few weeks and I’m kinda proud of them so I thought I’d post them here.  Hope you like’em.

2020’s Been OK

Mosey On Down To Philadelphia

—

ETA:  If anyone wants to listen to the three other songs I’ve written over the past few years, here they are.  These ones aren’t love songs.

When The Tables Have Turned (2018)

Last Day of School (2017)

Fatherly Wisdom (The Pokémon Song) (2015) — readers of the “my son Peter” thread can see a pre-transition Peter playing violin accompaniment here.

Undressing Josey is hawt. 

Nice job!

 

[Jaysus]

wouldn't you mosey up to Philadelphia from MD?

I take the long way.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Nice work. 

 

[AcerFC]

These would be much better if you still had the beard

 

[Lomez]

Good stuff, GB.

If I write the song Round Peg In A Round Hole, would you record it?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

You're not fat, and you're not wearing a little coat.  I feel like I've been lied to all these years.

I will try but there are probably much better musicians here that could do it.

 

[DocHolliday]

Good stuff

Your Mosey song reminds me of something Dr. Frank (would-be rock star in the Mr. T Experience, author of YA books) would write in its pacing. Fun stuff.

She's got pretty fake eyelashes
Slanted plastic glasses
Everyone who passes
Says she looks beautiful
But don't even think about asking her to dance
Cause in your sackcloth and ashes
You'll never ever get the chance

-Dr. Frank

Something about your song reminded me of that.

  Awesome, fatguy.  Here's to you finding Josie (however you spell it) during this awful year.

That melody on the first one is   .  Your guitar-playing has gotten to be great, too!  Super-sweet and lovely songs.  Thank you for sharing them.

For god's sake please have the videographer film in landscape mode.

He's a guy though, and he's in something.  That's like 50 percent of his username right there.

First song was sweet. Need to take a break before listening to the second so I don't feel all mushy.

Glad you watched it, you were one of the people I was hoping would see it because you were really complimentary about my other guitar videos.  

I'd also love it if @Nipsey the King of Karaoke gave it a listen.

Thanks to everyone that's taken the time to check these out I appreciate it.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Congrats! Those are excellent.

I am reminded a bit of Josh Ritter.  Not exact, but it's not too far off (appearance, mannerisms)

This is a great comparison.  And Josh Ritter has been a favorite of mine.

This is really flattering of you guys.  I’m not really familiar with Josh Ritter’s music but I just listened to some and I love it.

Anyway, for the fatguy super fans out there, I added links to the only three other original songs I’ve done in the first post.  At my current songwriting pace I should be able to put out an album by like 2030.

ETA:  I’m expecting the “Krista ranks the entire fatguy catalog in excruciating detail” thread to be at least 1000 pages.

Good Bye Ubu

I’m moving to an apartment next week so my ex-wife is taking full custody of our dog. I wrote a song this morning to commemorate the occasion.

 

[bigbottom]

You are such a freaking good songwriter. :jealous:

Cooking With Gas

I wrote another love song, this one is about farting.

 

[rockaction]

What's up, fatguy? Good to see you check in with a song. I think I'll pass on the farting song because it hits too close to home right now, but it's cool to see you around. Hope the teaching gig is going well if you're still doing that. Peace.

Thanks @rockaction things are really good for me. In my third year teaching, still really happy about it. I miss FBGs I’ll try to come back a little more when I can but my life is so different now from when I spent all day here.

Fantastic! Super creative, and fingerpicking and bar chords!!
