Pebbles in the Sand (original song - rough draft acoustic)

---

Hey, it's my first DTube video. This is a rough draft of a song from about 4 years ago before my hand got messed up and I couldn't play.

You won't see much here except my guitar in the dark with christmas lights reflected into it. So if you're a straight up visual person you won't like it, but if you can stand to just watch a guitar in the dark with Christmas lights on it and my voice singing, maybe it will be okay.

I recorded it onto video quickly so I wouldn't forget how it goes later. I may change some things, but for now this is how it goes. It occurs to me that I changed the lyrics since recording this, so some don't match up. My more final draft is what I've typed out below.

I had a cold and it is was hard to hit any kind of resemblance of a high note, which I'd prefer to be doing on the words "moon" and "Tide." When I record it for real, hopefully it will sound much better..

I hope to actually finally record it soon for a new album I'm working on, which probably will take a few years to finish, knowing me. I'll upload a video that actually shows my face next.

"Pebbles in the Sand"

tiny little pebbles in the sand
I lifted them up into my hand
and tossed them far away into the sea
gone now forever, let them be

CHORUS

The tide, it rolls away now
but I know it will find me once again
and I..... now watch the moon set
here with my back against the sand

I saw a bird and he saw me
I hope that he remembers me
he flew from a tree down to my hand
and then he flew away beyond the sand

{Repeat Chorus)
