Tire Swing (original) - SOTM #1

Greetings friends!

I figured since the month in winding down I'd better get on here and deliver my debut submission for my 2012 resolution. For the newer folks and others unfamiliar, last year I resolved to learn a new song every week and present my cover via YouTube. 52 songs/weeks later, I knew I wanted to continue the fun in the new year, but I also wanted to do more original material. So I decided to scale things back and shoot for one original tune every month, although I've recently come across this guy who's been writing song EVERY DAY for almost 3 years! He probably just needs to get a life.

Anyway, I'm here to present my first original song of 2012. Starting things out I decided to keep it simple. The fingerstyle tune is something I've had bouncing around my head and fingers for the last couple of months or so, and the lyrics were added recently. It's called "Tire Swing" and it is just a simple little song about enjoying a tire swing. It takes somewhat of a child's perspective in some of the lines and imagery. Lyrics are posted in the video description for your read-along pleasure. Enjoy!


Bel isi,

PS - As promised, I do plan to continue doing covers, also once a month, so look for that within the next week.
