I felt like writing my guitar a song… This is what came of it. I doubt he’ll be too happy…
Either way, this might be one of my favorite songs that I’ve written. I honestly don’t “like” many of the songs that I write, but when I listened to this scratch demo, I couldn’t help but smile. Finally – my weird sense of humor set to music.
Oh, and the point of the song? It’s more true than you know…
Whaddya think?
Lyrics – sorry:
Mr. Guitar
You’re so popular
I know you ring
With personality
But I want more
Than your six shiny strings.
I want kicks and sticks and snares
And tambourines
I’D RATHER BE A DRUMMER
I’D RATHER BE A DRUMMER
THAN HAVE YOU ‘ROUND MY NECK
We’ve been together
Ten years or so
But I think it’s time that
I hit the road.
We gotta break up
For me to make a
New identity
I know you’re what they’re expecting
But I’m still second-guessing
If I stay with you
I’ll never know
What else I can be…
You’re weird.
But I like it. Haha.
(I knew you would! If anybody, it’d be you.)
What’s next lady? Are you going to maybe try a different instrument? I liked the song – Just curious what your thinking —
Love it. The music, the singing. It’s one of my favorite songs of yours. I have downloaded it to my song library.
Papa:
I actually have been known to play the drums, in more than one band… LOVE it, I’d honestly rather play drums than guitar.
Ed: Thanks!
so weird… i just wrote a song to my drum set saying i wish he were a Taylor 714 CE.
Jenni: Wha?? Are you being serious?!
no… but i JUST may now.
HA! We can do a compilation CD.
That’s dope. Love the groove.
You’re voice is deeper than I would have imagined.
This is my absolute Mandy favourite…lyrics, melody, homour…everything! Gave me a wee punch to pull my all nighter essay writing exertion!
obviously I mean humour!
Mike: Surprise…? Now I’m wondering who you expected me to sound like…
Sharon Mac: Are you sure you don’t mean humor?
Your favorite? Really? I honestly thought people would think it silly… Really. But I liked it! Glad you did too! Don’t stay up too late. xxo0
i love this one a lot.
i love you a whole lot too.
Yeah..you are pretty spectacular.

If i were your guitar – i’d be feeling crushed.
Still you can’t live your life according to other instruments feelings, now – can you?
it’s a ‘nice’ song – in it’s way, but for me i think you could go a little more ‘mental’ in the chorus then go back to being the sweet, lovable, winsome, guitar Mandy in the verse – show us a bit more of the ‘two sides’ you want to express about yourself.
Maybe not quite as wild as Animal from the Muppetts but something a bit ‘angrier’ than Phil Collins!
Who knows where the drums could lead you?
Could you maybe do a little drum riff solo on the body of the guitar also?
i do like the song overall – but i feel sorry for your guitar too!
A menage a trois with you, Mr Guitar and a 12 piece double bass kit would be out of the question, i imagine?

I’ve always said that Drums & Bass are the two most important instruments in ANY band, so maybe you’re making the right decision. However, as a drummer, the stakes are raised. That makes you the ‘cornerstone’ of any band – pretty hefty calling!
I’ll shed a tear with you for your broken-hearted guit-fiddle.
I am shocked. You sound like the perfect couple together.
I LOVE the sounds of your song. You’re so stinkin’ creative……you can SING great too! Not like you haven’t been told that before. Thanks for sharing.
are you breaking up with you Mr. Guitar???
maybe you can take up the spoons? that’ll make him jealous!
so, so, so dang good!
fanfreakingtastic! Mandy, you crack me up… and I seriously loooovvveeee the vocals on this.
Poor guitar.
It’s good to teach the overly-loved instrument a little humility and give the drums some much needed love. thanks for righting the wrongs in this world one instrument at a time!
