Oh, man\u2026. I freakin love this song. It is so different, that I think listeners will be sharply divided. Some will think it is the shit and others will think it is just shit.<\/p>\n
One morning, I was feeling particularly down for no apparent reason. I didn\u2019t want to spend my day like that so I decided to try and counteract it with singing. I thought, I will just open my mouth and sing out what I am feeling; whatever comes. And what came was \u201cOh, I\u201d. I like it! So I keep singing it. Then the cajon came. I ran to my RV studio as fast as I could and recorded it. It was a lot of spontaneous hitting record and allowing of lyrics to come out of me, rather than my more often used method of writing first, recording second. I have never felt so creatively free. By the end, I was high on life and the excitement of creating. The vast experience of highs and lows and every thing between is one of the many amazing parts about being human.<\/p>\n
This song is like a trip all by itself. I swear I was not high when I wrote it or recorded it. That being said, this might be one of the best pot smoking songs every recorded. Let me know how it sounds when you are sky high. LOL.<\/p>\n
The cajon is not looped, I actually played it for 8 minutes to prepare for the recording. As such the timing is not perfect but nothing about any of my songs is perfect.. that\u2019s what makes it perfect!<\/p>\n
Chords, Drums, Bass and Lyrics<\/p>\n
DRUMS: KKKKKsKsKs

And something about this vast experience gets me high<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
Oh I secretly think you don\u2019t really give a sh*t about me\u2026 oh I
\nOh I can\u2019t stop speaking out for the oppressed majority<\/p>\n
Oh I don\u2019t live my life on the page to just to temp your rage\u2026 oh I
\nOh I might hurt your with the truth, oh sting you with the fruit of my mind
\nI don\u2019t apologize<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
And something about this vast experience gets me high<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
Oh I, get covered in the shadows, drowning in the shallows of life\u2026 oh I
\nOh I let it wash like a wave, the only way to let it pass and be free.. oh I<\/p>\n
Oh I need to get away and be alone with the demon in me\u2026 oh I
\nOh I dont see it as a fight, it\u2019s a visit from a dear old fiend
\ndo you know what I mean<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
And something about this vast experience gets me high<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n
And something about this vast experience gets me high<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes
\nI feel so high<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
