"Trying to Be like You" Played on my Kepma Koa Acoustic-Electric Guitar.

Danny Hauger – Trying to Be Like You lyrics - Video on YouTube

 

There’s a correlation here

From the mind to what we’re knowing

The spoken verse of the atmosphere

We’re limited to what is showing.

We can’t see the forests here

Because we’re looking at a desert

The redwoods of sand and beach

Can never be re-planted.

 

I don’t know what I’m becoming

I suppose I was trying to be like you

I suppose that I’m running

Running from me, and trying to be like you.

 

Everyone seems to turn to you

Like you always have an answer.

I can barely walk the line you take

You handle rhythm like a dancer

 

I wish that I could speak like you

With confidence and candor

You always make eye contact

Like you had known this forever.

 

I don’t know what I’m becoming

I suppose I was trying to be like you

I suppose that I’m running

Running from me, and trying to be like you.

 

If I could reinvent myself

Into any living being

I would not turn to fame or glory

I wouldn’t even turn to heaven

 

I’d try to make the best right here

“Frustrated”  By: Nesta, Sarah, Taylor, Mr. H Music by: Mr. H

 

Frustrated [Bb - Dm]

stuck in thoughts in my head

defeated

once again

 

I’m trying to make the most of this life (Gm - Bb - F)

Turbines are tearing through my conscious mind. (Gm - Eb - F)

Turn me back into something (F - Eb)

Make me feel more than nothing.

Buy me a piece of who I was before. ( G - F - Eb)

 

i’m frozen,

Your touch has been just so cold.

A fractured team,

Now on your own.

 

You’re leaving me without a clue

unable to finish what we wanted to.

 

You left to open ocean,

I’m stranded with the notion.

I’m an island I can’t explore.

 

Frustrated,

Where have you gone?

I recorded this original guitar composition in DADGAD tuning, and it was the very first time I had dropped my guitar into the tuning scheme. There is an intentional dischord, disharmony, and overly eager quality to the melody, as if it were butterflies in the stomach of the theme of the moment. As is prone to happening, the first riff that I strummed quickly carried me upstairs to record and I hope you enjoy the instrumental piece. Watch the performance video here.

I bought the Kepma Elite D2-140 Koa guitar myself, watch my video review. I was not paid for this review. The review and the thoughts of this video are my own. I love trying out new guitars, and I had experimented with a variety of body styles in previous videos, from cutaways, to mini jumbo guitar bodies. I missed the full-sound of a dreadnought, and never had the opportunity to own a guitar with koa back and sides before. Koa is known for having a little more low end, and dark sound, than mahogany or rosewood. I found the sound to be very balanced in this guitar.

When I read that Kepma Guitars tunes the body of their guitar, similar to guitars I have seen built in Santa Cruz, California, I wanted to find out more about the company. This guitar represented a chance to experiment with a new wood, and also have the consistency of North American Sitka Spruce, aged to 150 years, for durability and projection of sound. I also read about Kepma and the AcoustiFex System to apply effects like reverb, chorus, and delay, when the guitar is either plugged in, or unplugged. This was something I really wanted to evaluate for myself.

I also like to have aesthetics that are pleasing, and worthy of being featured in my free weekly song reviews. The New Zealand shell handcraft inlay was stunning to me, and the fretboard’s Mother of Pearl white rose shell inlay was a double-play that put my purchase interest over the top. I hope you enjoy the unboxing and the demo of the Kepma Guitars Elite D-140 Koa.

I test out the audio with a variety of different AcoustiFex settings, ranging from reverb and chorus, to hall reverb and delay, to give you an idea of what the guitar sounds like unplugged. Then I plug in, and record an acoustic version of “Slow Dance”, one of my favorite original songs, with only the effects built in on the guitar, and for the first minute and a half there are no effects at all. No volume or effect processing was managed in my DAW recording software. This is to give you an example of the raw input when plugged in. I was surprised how well the lead guitar track cut through the mix, that was unusually well done by this guitar.

Top Floor

 

Take me down, think this through.

Set me up, make me new.

 

Decode my hands, bring me back into this world.

I see no straight lines, only cumulus clouds and swirls.

 

Trap me into the audience

No escape, so I must Dance.

 

We arrive, close the door.

Take me up to the top floor.

 

Full thrusters, Into the atmosphere.

Terror, lies, and deceit await.

 

Trap me into the audience

No escape, so I must dance.

“Another Time” Words and Music by Danny Hauger

 

My mind is aching,

What a way to wake up.

My dawn is breaking,

Would a day shape up?

 

Take me to another time.

Let me see history.

Teach me how it happened then.

Take away the mystery.

 

Teach me along the line.

Show me two sides.

Let me make up my own mind.

I’ll let you when I’ve made it.

 

I don’t want to think with you.

I’m not here right now.

Take me to another time.

And I’ll have some peace of mind.

 

The world is doubting.

Open up a book to read.

Once facts now questions.

What a way to disagree.

TAE Kim and I make a great team, and this is the third or fourth collaboration track that I get to share with you. He is a superbly talented musician, and he lends his violin and piano to my new song "All My Weight", which really classes up and broadens the feel of this song. It will definitely be on my 2020 album that is in development, and I am grateful for his musical abilities and friendship!

"All My Weight" lyrics

I’ll take your hand in mine.

I’ll lead you, though I am blind.

Synthesizing your role.

Understanding your goal.

Side with me your soul,

Life has taken it’s toll.

Laugh out loud!

Shrink with me, I’m carrying all my weight.

Bear with me, I’m barely keeping up this pace.

I’m surprised, the compromises one must make.

I’m dumbfounded by this place.

Tempt me, with a line from a Shakespeare play.

I don’t realize what the words might mean.

I’ll make my own, and my own home.

The mother tongue that stole my fun has set me off.

“Solar Flyer”

 

Transmit me to a place I’d rather be.

Now, like Laguna Beach in summer.

I can’t afford to see your daughter.

I can’t it afford it.

Here let me take away

The goodness that I brought with me

The one thing that you recognize

Of value, is the one part of dignity

 

That I can’t trade for unlimited energy.

 

Correlations building data,

Privacy resets tomorrow.

I don’t care what you know about me

But will you be here when I need a friend?

Go and disconnect

And spend with me the time we share

I’m not afraid of who might like this.

I would just like to be part of this.

 

Cause all I want is unlimited energy

And a solar flyer to take me around the world

Cause all I want,

Is unlimited energy.

And a solar flyer to take me around this world.

Dave Streudalinsky called me today and asked for a new song for a video he is making of drone footage in Canada. I am a big fan of Dave's work and Youtube Channel, so I set right to work creating some new music for him. I used my Seagull Maple Performer Series CW to improvise some chords while I watched the footage, and the lead wrote itself basically. 

 

It was a pleasure to sit down with a simple musical objective: watch some beautiful footage, and write some music that fits. What a joy. Thanks Dave. Enjoy this free acoustic instrumental everyone!
