Hi there, so the other day I was looking through some of my old stuff and I found this old
lyric book of mine where I used to write music when I first started learning guitar and ukulele.
So I decided, let’s see if any of these lyrics have stood the test of time and I’ll
share them with you.
I really hope I don't have to cringe too bad.
Let’s see what we start with here.
I remember when I had that super fun time at that super fun place with this super cool
girl with the super cute face.
*claps* That's it!
That was so bad.
I don’t even know if I wanna read the rest of this now.
Sometimes I forget I didn't actually go through an emo phase until I started writing music.
Sometimes I remember when I was genuinely happy; I wish I could forget.
What?!
*laughs* Oh wow.
I can't remember when the last time you even acknowledged I existed.
Evan Edinger: Emo guitarist / ukuleleist.
I'm forgetting, forgetting, regretting, and erasing it all.
Wow.
It's upsetting how I'm letting you be my heart's downfall.
Okay?
Okay.
(not a TFIOS reference)
I'm actually part of My Chemical Romance.
We first met back when I was pretty young.
We went through a lot; we had a lot of fun.
It's just like Evan wants to make music.
Let's just rhyme.
I went through a lot of nerdy stages when I was writing music.
I wrote a song about math so I said let's write a song as if I'm in love with the companion
cube from Portal.
So, baby I'll be yours so long as you'll be my weighted companion cube.
Beautiful.
Ohhh, corporate pizza.
I wrote a song when I used to work at a pizza restaurant and it got me in a lot of trouble
because the higher-ups didn't like the lyrics.
They thought it was funny, but "messed up" or something like that.
Corporate pizza, why am I still here?
Been working at this place now for four long years.
Corporate pizza.
I love you.
I was a young broke college kid, it seemed like the right thing to do.
I'm the voice of a generation.
You're the ribbon tied around my finger, an ever-present memory.
There's no way I could forget about you.
That's not so bad.
We went back to Emo Evan with: the seasons change like our love and though it's in its
dying stages I still can't say there's anything more beautiful.
*laughs*
This is so embarrassing.
Oh we're back to the nerdy songs.
I wrote a song as if I were in love with Sid Meier, the creator of the Civilization franchise.
Don't you try to slap me, I was being attacked by Hammurabi.
Ahh, the Death Note phase.
I think I watched Death Note like three times in a month, so I wrote a song.
My name is Light, Light Yagami.
Found a notebook yesterday, came with its own Shinigami.
I am God.
I am Kira.
No use hidin' I'm gonna see ya.
Well I hope that song lightens the mood.
That was a kira pun.
(kira means killer in Japanese) If you're kira'ous... *gives up on pun* ooh
noo.
Ooo we're out of the guitar section.
Time to go into the ukulele section.
I don't wanna work today it's Sunday; I wanna lounge all around the house and play my ukulele.
That's pretty accurate.
I totally feel for that.
Yeah.
I'm down with that.
The problems of the world, they don't affect me, so long as I've got you.
Aww.
Aww stop it.
Ahh the limit as x approaches girlfriend.
I'm actually really proud of this song.
I wrote it like 4 or 5 years ago now and honestly, it's just the mathiest nerdiest, freiking
song you can write, and it won me third place at a talent show at university.
So it's not too bad.
I like to tell myself I don't care.
I like to make believe situations that are not there.
How?
Why!
I used to have an iPhone 3GS when they first came out and someone stole it, and by that
I mean that I left it on the counter for a minute at the restaurant I worked at and someone
took it.
So I wrote a song about how much I missed my iPhone.
I don't know what to do, without you hear, my dear.
My world is upside down.
My life is gripped by fear.
I need to GET a life.
Jesus.
I know you probably miss me.
I know you must be hurt.
I mean, it's a phone, mate.
It's a phone.
This shows how dated it is.
If I had you back, I'd be playing Angry Birds all day.
No.
Not ever.
I missed you for so long, so much so I wrote this song for you (white) iPhone 3GS I miss
you please come back to me.
Single tear.
This is the most obscure thing.
We meet up.
I see you.
You look more beautiful than I remembered since the last time that we did that thing
we did?!
What was that implying?!
It's literally just 3 lines like that was like yeah I'm good.
Hopefully that was me going "this is bad, and I should feel bad."
So I just stopped writing there and went to another page.
Aww I told you you were a roller coaster, the best one at the park in view.
There were so many other attractions, but I was willing to wait for you.
Oh my God, I forgot all about this song.
I wrote a song about my Tumblr crush.
And that was the name of the song.
My Tumblr Crush.
Baby I've got a secret that I wanna put in your ask box.
Should I ask you or just remain anonymous?
That's my paradox.
I don't need an FAQ for everyone to know I've got a crush on you!
Cause we're my OTP, babe.
I ship you and me, babe.
You give me all the feels, babe.
AM I TALKING TO A PIG?!
I read all of your read mores so you don't feel so alone.
I even check my blog out when I am on my phone.
This is like reading a really, really bad Dr. Seuss book.
I find you positively charming, and I hope you'll understand that I wrote this song about
you cause I'm your number one fan.
Frick.
Oh this is a brainstorm page.
You can tell because there's a little picture of a brain with lightning bolts.
It's a brainstorm.
I skid on my flip flops out the door after finding the keys I'd been looking for.
I'm always looking for keys.
That's literally my life.
If it's not keys, it's my wallet...or my gopro.
*sobs*
It's more than jetlag that's made me feel so lost.
I like that.
That's not too bad a line.
Song about Canadian girlfriend.
I mean I never had one, but it was nice wishful thinking.
The rain will never wash your fingerprints from my windshield, my tears will never wash
your prints off my heart.
*laughs*
Make your own decisions that is what you should do.
Don't be listening to them, just be listening to you.
Aww we're nearing the end!
I am very sad.
This was a fun time.
Liking a Girl, but Not Wanting to Ruin Friendship.
What is this a Fall Out Boy title?
That is the longest name of a song I've ever written.
No matter how many times I run it through my head, friendship or relationship I choose
the latter instead for though I love you as a friend, I could love you so much more, just
take the chance and love me back.
Please don't go.
*laughs*
Well, that seems to be the end of this book.
I hope you've enjoyed cringing at this as much as I have.
