I actually got to play on this stage for the first time last week, because two of my friends got married out here.
And it was really like reassuring 'cause this reminds me exactly of my family pond, like, everything about it's beautiful.
So, yeah, so spiel is I'm gonna play some songs you guys know, and some songs you guys probably don't know because I wrote them.
But I Love these kinds of just performances, because I get to tell you a little bit about the songs, and stuff, sometimes, or a story I have behind why I play it.
So this first song I'm gonna play for you is a song I wrote called "Vagabond", and this one, it's really important to me because even though I wrote it a long time ago, every time I play it it's like I'm reassuring myself that no matter where life takes me, as long as I'm doing something that I'm passionate about and that I'm happy doing, then that's success, because it's really hard these days to measure what success is anymore, so as long as you're happy.
This is called Vagabond.
[Vagabond starts playing] ♪ And I can't wait to turn off the lights ♪ ♪ And dream of the greater things in life ♪ ♪ 'cause I don't know how to get it ♪ ♪ But I'm sure that I'll regret it ♪ ♪ If I just watch these chances fade ♪ ♪ Into an empty shell this world creates ♪ ♪ It's not what I had planned ♪ ♪ But let's try to understand ♪ ♪ That we don't have to live this way ♪ ♪ Oh my God won't you save me from ♪ ♪ We've learned to point these fingers like a gun, a gun ♪ ♪ And, oh my God, oh, I'd be glad if I become ♪ ♪ And always wondering Vagabond ♪ ♪ And I just seem to spend most of my days ♪ ♪ Working to get by, past and through the days ♪ ♪ It's a temporary ship ♪ ♪ But we'll try to make the best out of it ♪ ♪ And they built our dreams when we were young ♪ ♪ Just to tear the seams once we were done ♪ ♪ Growing up is knowing that they won't always work out ♪ ♪ How you want them ♪ ♪ And, oh my God, won't you save me from ♪ ♪ We've learned to point these fingers like a gun, a gun ♪ ♪ And, oh, my God, oh, I'd be glad if I become ♪ ♪ And always wondering Vagabond ♪ ♪ To be happy and be free is wonderful thing ♪ ♪ Even if I've been wondering Vagabond ♪ [outro music] Thank you.
I think you guys will know this next one.
[Jolene starts playing] ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ I'm begging of you, please don't take my man ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ Please don't take him just because you can ♪ ♪ Your beauty is beyond compare ♪ ♪ With flaming locks of auburn hair ♪ ♪ With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green ♪ ♪ Your smile is like a breath of spring ♪ ♪ Your voice is soft like summer rain ♪ ♪ And I cannot compete with you, Jolene ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ I'm begging of you, please don't take my man ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ Oh, please don't take him just because you can ♪ ♪ He talks about you in his sleep ♪ ♪ There's nothing I can do to keep ♪ ♪ from crying when he calls your name, Jolene ♪ ♪ And I can easily understand ♪ ♪ How you could easily take my man ♪ ♪ But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ I'm begging of you, please don't take my man ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ Oh, please don't take him just because you can ♪ ♪ I had to have this talk with you ♪ ♪ My happiness depends on you ♪ ♪ And whatever you decide to do, Jolene ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ I'm begging of you, please don't take my man ♪ ♪ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene ♪ ♪ Oh, please don't take him, even though you can ♪ ♪ Jolene ♪ [outro music] So I'm gonna play another original for you.
And this one, I was living at my parents' house still, and I was going through just old stuff, my bedroom was always a mess so was just going through a bunch of stuff and I came across something that this guy I used to date gave me, and I just sat down and I wrote this whole song.
And it's more like how no matter what you do your past will just always be with you kind of thing, and it's a bitter sweet song.
It's not a love song, let me reassure you that, but it's one that is, I don't know, I still have good memories, and stuff like that, and it's kind of taking the good with the bad kind of thing.
And I really like this song too, because my dad hated this guy and I made sure to write a line in there about it and every time I play it live my mom's like, "You sure did."
[laughs] She loves that.
So this song's called "Swear Jar".
[Swear Jar starts playing] ♪ Ain't it funny how this all is ♪ ♪ It's the simple things that make it worse ♪ ♪ And the pieces of yourself that you've come to know ♪ ♪ Seems like they never were the moment you let 'em go ♪ ♪ But the sweet, sweet smell ♪ ♪ brings flashbacks and it takes me there again ♪ ♪ So don't you, don't you, don't you dare, ♪ ♪ no, don't you think every guy ♪ ♪ 'cause time has made us [indistinct] ♪ ♪ No, put a, put a, put a coin into the jar ♪ ♪ As I swear I never will ♪ ♪ And I still keep a CD that you made ♪ ♪ On my 18th birthday when I was afraid ♪ ♪ Oh, if my daddy would approve of what was me and you ♪ ♪ But we both know he never caved ♪ ♪ Oh, still, don't you, don't you, don't you dare, ♪ ♪ no, don't you think every guy ♪ ♪ 'cause time has made us [indistinct] ♪ ♪ No, put a, put a, put a coin into the jar ♪ ♪ As I swear I never will ♪ ♪ And sometimes you made me so damn mad ♪ ♪ I hated your guts ♪ ♪ Oh, I punched the wall so many times ♪ ♪ I swear my fist went numb ♪ ♪ But I'm thankful for the hard times ♪ ♪ Because it made me tough ♪ ♪ You were the brick through my window ♪ ♪ That finally woke me up ♪ ♪ So thank you, thank you, thank you, oh, thank you ♪ ♪ Darling don't be sad ♪ ♪ Because one day, someday, or maybe even Monday ♪ ♪ You'll think of me and it'll make you cry ♪ [outro music] [Black Coffee starts playing] ♪ How do I get better ♪ ♪ If there's nothing wrong with me ♪ ♪ Try not to blame it on the weather ♪ ♪ Or the curse of family ♪ ♪ 'cause I know by now that this comes and it goes ♪ ♪ Keep singing lines, don't let anyone close ♪ ♪ How can I feel better ♪ ♪ If all I can do is dream ♪ ♪ Don't wanna get out of this bed ♪ ♪ Just wanna drown under the sheets ♪ ♪ But I found your cup full of dust and little talks ♪ ♪ Stuffed in my cupboard so I filled it up ♪ ♪ Today I drink that coffee, it tasted like dirt ♪ ♪ But that's just the way you liked it ♪ ♪ So I know it could be worse ♪ ♪ Today I drink that coffee, remembered what I had ♪ ♪ Took another sip and thought ♪ ♪ you know, it's not that bad ♪ ♪ I know I waste so much time ♪ ♪ Just fighting with the demons that I built up in my mind ♪ ♪ I took a walk with the dog ♪ ♪ Down to the cabin that my daddy was so proud of ♪ ♪ And I'll just say ♪ ♪ Sometimes I'll cry ♪ ♪ But I know nothing feels like home ♪ ♪ like it does there in late July ♪ [Brooke vocalizing] ♪ I know that I'll get better ♪ ♪ But these things, they just take time ♪ ♪ Don't look at me like I'm a problem ♪ ♪ You can solve and then it's fine ♪ ♪ 'cause I know by now this is just a part of me ♪ ♪ And without sugar or cream it can still taste as sweet ♪ ♪ Today I drink that coffee, it tasted like dirt ♪ ♪ But that's just the way you liked it ♪ ♪ So I know I know it could be worse ♪ ♪ Today I drink that coffee, remembered what I had ♪ ♪ Took another sip and thought ♪ ♪ You know, it's not that bad ♪ [Fly Me to The Moon starts playing] ♪ Fly me to the moon ♪ ♪ Let me play among the stars ♪ ♪ Let me know what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars ♪ ♪ In other words, hold my hand ♪ ♪ Oh, in other words, baby, kiss me ♪ ♪ Fill my heart with song ♪ ♪ Let me sing forever more ♪ ♪ You are all I long for ♪ ♪ All I worship and adore ♪ ♪ In other words, please be true ♪ ♪ Oh, in other words, I love you ♪ ♪ Fly me to the moon ♪ ♪ Let me play among the stars ♪ ♪ Let me know what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars ♪ ♪ In other words, hold my hand ♪ ♪ Oh, in other words, baby, kiss me ♪ ♪ Fill my heart with song ♪ ♪ Let me sing forever more ♪ ♪ You are all I long for ♪ ♪ All I worship and adore ♪ ♪ In other words, please be true ♪ ♪ Oh, in other words, I love you ♪ ♪ Fill my heart with song ♪ ♪ Let me sing forever more ♪ ♪ You are all I long for ♪ ♪ All I worship and adore ♪ ♪ In other words, please be true ♪ ♪ In other words, I love you ♪ ♪ In other words, I love you ♪ This song I also just put out.
I'm actually about to put out my full length original album in a couple of months here, and I'm really, really, really excited so thank you for having me, and hopefully it's something you get to check out.
I've been working on it for a while, so coming together and being able to play these songs, put out the music videos, and stuff, has been so much fun, and something I've been looking forward to a long time.
And this song I just put out like a month ago, and it's one I didn't even plan to record, it just so happened that it sounded really cool [laughs] whenever I did, like, add in full band and stuff like that, but I wrote the hook, or a part of it one night when I used to bartend.
And I came home and I thought, "I hate everybody."
Oh, my gosh.
And then I wrote a really lovely song about it, so you guys get to hear it.
This song is called "I Hate You The Least", and I have it on my YouTube channels, on my Spotify, all that stuff, if you grab a card when you come out.
If you feel like you hate everybody that day, it's the perfect song to listen to.
[guitar strums] So, yeah, this is called "I Hate You The Least".
[I Hate You The Least starts playing] ♪ When I was younger I wanted so many things ♪ ♪ More friends, the more money ♪ ♪ the fame, the better it could be ♪ ♪ But the pressure never ends ♪ ♪ It just went from bikes to bodies ♪ ♪ Now I can't stand to be around anyone ♪ ♪ Because of the stress that it brings ♪ ♪ But, oh, I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's my highest compliment to enjoy some company ♪ ♪ Oh, I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's not picture perfect babe ♪ ♪ But I still like your face in my wallet seam ♪ ♪ When I grew older I swore that I'd do it all right ♪ ♪ Now we make our money ♪ ♪ Of mixing their poisons with Sprite ♪ ♪ Listening to the same old things ♪ ♪ Wondering who they're gonna take home tonight ♪ ♪ Maybe I hate it here ♪ ♪ And I'd love it in a different kinda light ♪ ♪ But, oh, I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's my highest compliment to enjoy some company ♪ ♪ Oh, I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's not picture perfect babe ♪ ♪ But I still like to keep your face in my wallet seam ♪ ♪ Because after all this time ♪ ♪ The only thing that kept its shine ♪ ♪ Is what me made for ourselves ♪ ♪ So, baby, turn the records on ♪ ♪ The same overplayed songs ♪ ♪ And lets just hide away from everybody else ♪ ♪ Dim the lights around the room ♪ ♪ Lets ignore the this and that ♪ ♪ I just wanna be alone with you ♪ ♪ And our cat ♪ [Brooke vocalizing] ♪ But I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's My highest compliment to enjoy some company ♪ ♪ Oh, I hate you the least ♪ ♪ It's not Picture perfect babe ♪ ♪ But I still like to keep your face in my wallet ♪ [guitar strums] This next song is quite the opposite, it's about love.
And my love for the greatest thing on this planet is my dog.
So, you guys, do I have dog people here tonight?
Please.
[laughs] Good.
Yeah, this is a song I wrote for my dog [guitar strums] It's called, "For My Dog".

So, as you can tell, I like the color orange.
And I just got an orange scooter, there's no, like, real meaning behind that, or anything, I just wanted to tell you that I got an orange scooter and I'm really excited about it.
That's when you laugh.
All right, this song, this song is actually an NSYNC song but I make it very folky so be calm, it's gonna be okay.
This is another one that I recorded and you can find on YouTube, and all that stuff.
