I’m Not Gonna Fall
I recently wrote a new song called “Not Gonna Fall”… a couple privileged people have heard it already. Pause playlist and click play on the video to listen. This is a live performance on UStream that I recorded. I had two wonderful people who had the patience to listen to me at 2 something AM. :]
It’s about having issues with the battle that goes on between instincts, infatuation, and common sense. Common sense is smart, but infatuation is powerful. Gotta watch out, y’all.-b.

I wish I could play the guitar like that
new shirt? HAHA.
All I get is a black box. :[
I still think the rough version was good, though. :3
^-^ i like both versions.

:[ I'm going to guess that flash or some activeX controller or something is not enabled... it works fine on most computers... Thank you for the support. :]
@B2yan_C -
Yeah, flash sort of hates my guts for some reason. I set it on “always ask” for letting things work on my computer, then when I try to click “accept” it doesn’t work. ><
Oh, I finally got into the settings manager and fixed it. So… it should work in a day or so xDDD
I like! and I can relate to the lyrics
You sing and play the guitar really well! I really liked the lyrics too.
Love this. And so agree with the statement at the bottom…trying to hold onto my common sense at the moment.
I really like it!! =)

I’m glad you like it! It’s hard to fight the fall, isn’t it? :
@Rhia_Pyrithea -
Aw thanks! I appreciate the kind words. :]
@jumpthenfly -
I swear, my common sense is so hard to listen to sometimes…
@xkthily -
Thanks x]
Did anyone fail to mention the absolutely not-at-all awkward introduction? It’s the best part!
In any case, I really enjoyed your song. For some reason, I kept on thinking of it in a biblical context. I was thinking “Not gonna fall” related somehow to the Fall of Man and how you are being tempted into exhile due to sexual knowledge (infatuation).
I’m such a dork. xD But I hope you get what I’m saying?
Btw, who is Jennifer? The lucky lady? =P
@vballer1410 -
Hahaha oh dear. You are a dork. An adorable dork. <3
I totally did not mean for the introduction to be THAT awkward. I guess it’s just my nature.
I’m really surprised at the Biblical interpretation of my song. I did not see that coming! Kudos to you. :]
Jennifer is a lucky lady, but that’s just because she’s awesome–she agreed to listen in and keep me company as I was recording this at almost 3 AM! I don’t feel that the girl that I wrote this song about is actually “lucky” if you listen to the lyrics carefully…
You adorable dork, you.
mhm i kindof like this:)
I adore this. What chords are you playing?
@CrazyKey123 -
Aww I’m glad you like it! :]
The chords are actually much simpler to play than they look. It’s just that they’re funky sus chords and whatnot.
5th Capo
Verse chords: C, C/B, Am, G6add11 (320010), Fmaj7add9 (133010) There’s a hammer-on somewhere in there.
Chorus 1(I want you):
Am, Fmaj7sus2, C, G
Am, G, Fmaj7+9 x2
Chorus 2 (I’m not gonna fall):
Am, Fmaj7sus2 x2
Am, Fmaj7sus2, C, G
Am, Fmaj7sus2 x2
Am, G, Fmaj7sus2
I like it.
@MedicMark -
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Oh my god. I really like this. Do you have an mp3 file of it?
YOU’RE AN AMAZING SINGER. Why have I not seen this earlier?
@jumpthenfly -
I’m still working on getting a good recording of this one.
Your kind words make me feel fuzzy inside. (: Shall I tag you when I post new songs?
@B2yan_C -
Yes please!
