Sometimes it's better to keep things for yourself or say them another way! Sometimes it's better to try to understand what someone means before getting offended! Why do you get so sad? Did I say something wrong? I'm surprised you get so mad. Please don't say "so long". I didn't know we had a fight. Do we speak a different language? Are you wrong or are you right? Should I keep my words inside? "Chorus" (x2) Am I wrong to be honest? Am I wrong to tell the truth? Why do my words hurt you? They were never meant that way. Simple words, yet double meaning? Not all that people say, is in need of extreme screening. It's not always meant that way. Before you hurt and start to shout or get sad and run away, at least try to find out, what people want to say. Chorus

Music and video by SlowStrider (Henno Vermeulen) Lyrics by Edgar Allan Poe I had a dream of myself playing a song. When I woke up I only remembered me singing the line "dream within a dream" and the use of a repeating riff. So I decided to write a song with the lyrics of the poem "Dream Within a Dream" by Poe and add a riff that sounds a bit like the one I heard in my dream. Verse 1: Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Verse 2: Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? therefore the less gone? Chorus: All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. Verse 3 (spoken): I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- Solo Chorus Verse 4: How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? Verse 5: O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? a dream within a dream? Chorus

I should really have been studying when I made this!!!! It's 3.30am now... Everything in this video is made at home by Henno Vermeulen (except of course for the Nalts (at 00:38) and Weird Al (at 3:03) video on my computer screen) I hope you have as fun watching this as I had making it! This is a song about something evil... Procrastination. Don't you shift that job Go to study, clean your room If you do nothing useful You will only end up sad Oh just fulfill your duties Don't make your life so hard [Chorus] Procrastination is bad Procrastination makes you sad Don't sit, don't wait... Or else you will be late Don't do procrastination It will lead you nowhere When you miss all your deadlines People will get very mad Never put off until tomorrow What you can do today [Chorus] What I'm trying to say here is: just take my advise and your life will be a lot better. You won't be that poor jobless loser, who's sitting in the mess and the dirt, locked up in his mothers basement, playing computer games all day, having a long beard with pieces of leftover pizza that he ordered for breakfast, ..., lunch and dinner while his study books are lying under a pile of dust and the only friends he has are either online or fictional. No... You won't do that kind of stuff anymore if you simply stop procrastinating. You won't be watching tv and youtube all day. You won't be playing the guitar all the time. You know, even this song it wouldn't exist without procrastination! ... Oh, hold on a minute! [Chorus x3]

This is my first video ever, and the second song I wrote that has lyrics! It is a response to Aleishars video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hMHvrJoxk) in which she asks to write music for her lyrics. The lyrics are very emotional, so I wrote a song that is not too fast and uses fingerpicking a lot. I also had to remove some verses, otherwise the song would take 10 minutes... Anyway I hope you like it. (Excuse me for the framedrop, it has been fixed in my other video's.)

Me doing overtone (throat) singing. If you listen well you will hear two different pitches. The lower pitch is made by simply using my voice. The higher pitch is created by putting the cheeks, lips and tongue in the right position until you get the right resonance (I just experimented until I got the higher sound). Check out this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLdrmuZBKBY video for a traditional singer who can really do it well.
