Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (cover)




Lyrics
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Blue Jeans - Lana Del Ray COVER (by Chloe Boleti)

I love this song and Lana Del Ray's voice is far from generic. This is the first video that I've made all by myself (recording, videoing and editing) so I'm well proud! :D hahah! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and if you do, then LIKE it and SUBSCRIBE!
 ALSO Big Thanks to Lara & Carra for giving me keys to the 'Waterhole'. Love you both so much! :)

 Blue jeans, White shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
 That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
 I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
 Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like: "no please, stay here,"
We don't need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" that was the last I heard
 I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
 Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
 Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
 You went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
 Cause Ima ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit, at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind
 I just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away- stole you out of my life
You just need to remember... I will love you till the end of time
 I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time

"Good Time" -- originally by Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen Written by: Matt Thiessen, Brian Lee, Adam Young Published by: Songs Music Publishing & Universal Music Publishing "Good Time" Owl City (with Carly Rae Jepsen) - Lyrics Whoa-uh-oh It's always a good time Whoa-uh-oh It's always a good time Woke up on the right side of the bed What's up with this Prince song inside my head? Hands up if you're down to get down tonight 'Cause it's always a good time Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere I'm in if you're down to get down tonight 'Cause it's always a good time Bridge Good morning and good night I'll wake up at twilight It's gonna be alright We don't even have to try It's always a good time (Whooo) Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh It's always a good time Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

Give Your Heart A Break - Demi Lovato - Julia Sheer - Official cover video




[Verse 1]
The day I first met you, you told me you never fall in love
But now that I get you, I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are
So close, yet so far
Haven't I passed the test?
When will you realize, baby, I'm not like the rest?

[Chorus 1]
Don't wanna break your heart
I wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
On Sunday, you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love, but you did not reply
The world is ours if we want it
We can take it, if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now
Baby, try to understand

[Chorus 1]
Don't wanna break your heart
I wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break

[Post-Chorus]
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
When your lips are on my lips
Then our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa

[Chorus 1]
Don't wanna break your heart
I wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break
(Let me give your heart a break)

[Chorus 2]
'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away
Some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Baby, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break

[Post-Chorus]
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break (your heart)
Your heart a break (a break)
Oh yeah, yeah

[Outro]
The day I first met you, you told me you'd never fall in love

Megan and Liz: "Wanted" (Hunter Hayes cover)




Lyrics
You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you
Like everything that's green, girl, I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too
'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted
Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah

And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...
When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted
As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted
You'll always be wanted

"From My Heart" a New Original Song from Sawyer Fredericks




OK- I really don't know where Sawyer gets these stories and themes- it's like he's channeling an old soul and someone else's life. Another powerful original song. He had some really nice guitar work on the break when he played this at home, but like I said, nerves were getting to him and he ended up just sticking to the basic rhythm for this performance. Still lovely. He had one audience member referring to him as "Young Bob Dylan" for the night :) We still don't have a title- what phrase sticks out for you? UPDATE- as you can see the song now has a title. Thanks to David Smythe for the suggestion!
 Lyrics:
You wake up
You go back to sleep
 Look out the window
Wind blowing through the trees
You get out of bed
You go downstairs
Someone's screaming
Screaming "Where have you been?"
Screaming "Where have you been?"
Screaming "Where have you been?"
 I want to know
What's been going on
But I don't care
What you've been doing
Just want you home
Where you belong
Cause I've been thinking
Seems like every night I've been alone
Seems like every night I've been alone
Seems like every night I've been alone
 Window's shaking
Needs to be fixed
 Don't feel like working
Don't wanna be doing everything round here
Not that I am
Not that I am
Not that I am
 You keep leaving
Leaving me a note
Don't wanna read it
 I know what it's pointing out
 Cause you've been drifting
 Drifting away
From my heart From my heart From my heart
 You wake up You go back to sleep
Look out the window
Winds blowing through the trees
You get out of bed
You go downstairs
Someone's screaming
Screaming "Where have you been?"
 Screaming "Where have you been?"
 Screaming "Where have you been?"

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood - COVER ( feat Doug the Dog )


I film and edit all of my videos by myself, usually in one night ...though my dogs did decide to help with this one. Chihuahua- Doug (Yes I know that Sarah Silverman has a dog named Doug. People love to tell me that!) Australian Cattle Dog - Poncho
 It's hard to keep them away when I'm filming :) ...and Doug came in extra handy for this one.
 I started setting this shoot up around 7pm and finished editing at 4am
 Camera: Canon 5D Mark II
Applications: Soundtrack Pro & Final Cut
Microphone: Blue Snowball
 I highly recommend Blue microphones (I wish they would pay me for saying this :) ) They are simple to use and capture excellent sound. I use a vocal compressor and a reverb filter in soundtrack pro to bring my voice to the forefront and to make it sound more professional-like (totally a real word)
 If you don't have access to the programs I use, I recommend Garage Band, Audacity, Windows Movie Maker and iMovie (though I'm no expert on any of them) Thanks for watching/reading!
