Me Singing (Video)

Episode 2: When the Chips Are Down
(Facebook users may need to click "View Original Post") I'm singing this new song I wrote. I wrote it for our band if it gets together over the summer and if they wanna use it :P It's a standard rockish type love song, that I hope you guys will like(haha at least I think my little tune is catchy).

But heres the thing:
-It was done on my camera phone, so the quality is bad and sometimes the sound gets dim
-You have to turn your speakers up
-I'm singing it accapella for now
-I mess up on a few spots (cause I haven't memorized my own song yet).
-The Bridge verse probably still needs some note work.
-The verses may seem a little rushed because I attempt to sing the background vocals as well.
-The Chorus will be more rock-ish, I made this video really late at night so I didn't feel like screaming :P

But I sung it all anyway, and here it is with all the lyrics so you can follow along:



(Verse 1)I just met you last christmas,
and I must say it was a surprize(was a surprize)
I've hardly ever seen you since,
but theres still this wierd feeling inside(feeling inside)
And now I've left you in the dust,
but I hope you'll keep coming back(keep coming back)...
because when the chips are down,
It's like I've needed you all along

(Chorus)When the chips are down,
I want you right by my side
When the chips are down
you would make me complete
When the chips are down,
I know you're the one
When the chips are down,
you've been all that I need.

(Verse 2)A lot of people say that,
we were never ment to be(ment to be)
And since I'm not round much,
you're intrests aren't always on me(always on me)
you'll message me on facebook,
and I wish I could see you instead(see you instead)
but I noticed when we meet,
you are more excited everytime...

(Chorus) When the chips are down,
I want to be with you right now
When the chips are down,
Your everything I wanted
When the chips are down,
I always want to be with you
When the chips are down,
you've been all that I need

(Bridge)We've shared so many moments
It's hard for me to focus
the closer that we get, the harder it is to resist
I know where just friends now,
and it might never be,
But I'm letting you know...
Cause when the chips are down,
I'll know who I'm looking for

(Chorus)When the chips are down,
I don't care what anyone says
When the chips are down,
You'd be my one and only
When the chips are down,
I'd be there for you
When the chips are down,
You've been all that I need.

Rofl You know how hard it is for me to figure out a Guitar Riff For this?

this song sounds like a song like "Apologize" by One Republic, but the Timbaland Remix is better than the original.

lol I'm sure it can be changed a little here and there to make it sound like something nobody has heard before. All first drafts need some tweaking so it should be a fun project.

Thanks :D

But yeah I'm really mad because at the time I made this I had a really good guitar idea in my head, but I totally forgot it <_<
