about

Here's a song about songwriting. As my friend Ryan says, "it's kinda meta, isn't it?" Well, yes it is.

lyrics

This is the sound of my left hand strumming
This is the sound of my right hand fretting
This is the sound of… my guitar… when I play it… oh Lord
This is the sound of my guitar humming

This is the sound of my voice a-singing
This is the sound of my tunes a-growing
I write down all the words, then I sing them … oh Lord
This is the sound of my pipes a-ringing

This is the sound of my death metal growling
This is the sound of my black metal shrieking
This is the sound of my voice when I hum… mmm-mmm-mmm
This is the sound that gives my life meaning

This is the sound of a man feeling restless
This is the sound of a man feeling bored
This is the sound of a man in a lockdown, oh Lord
This is the sound of a man and his stresses

This is the sound my lasso slashingm
This is the sound of my six guns a-blazing
This is the SOUND… my bullwhip makes… when it slashes, oh Lord
This is the sound of my pickaxe mashing

This is the sound of my mouth a-smoking
This is the sound of my throat a-choking
But please just don’t you think… that I’m tokin’… no, no, no
This is the sound of my lungs a croakin’

This is the sound of my spurs go jingle-jangle [JINGLE]
This is the sound is the sound of the law of the jungle
This is the sound of the tigers burning bright, in the night
This is the sound of my dark country ramble

This is the sound of my left hand strumming
This is the sound of my right hand fretting
This is the sound of… my guitar… when I play it… oh Lord
This is the sound of my guitar humming
