Crash Landed In Paradise (Original Music)
I loved writing this song, and I love playing it. Played it on a Martin Road series and recorded with a Zoom H1n.
I have been practicing and improving my finger picking ability by writing, practicing and covering songs from my favourite finger pickers (Colter Wall, Townes van Zandt, etc.). I am real happy with this song and I am very excited about the next couple of months. Maybe I'll challenge myself with a Doc Watson cover. Should have put the recorder closer to the vocals though, next time!
Lyrics:
I have crash landed in paradise
I should have died, but I'm still alive
They pulled me out after we took the dive
To my brothers and sisters I owe my life
I have crash landed in paradise
Should be gone, but I'm allright
Thinkin' back about that burnin' flight
When it all gone wrong I still believed I was right
I have crash landed in paradise
I should have died, but I'm still alive
Don't blame the weather, the skies were clear
The pilot was a drunk and he was chuggin' beers
I have crash landed in paradise
Should be gone, but I'm allright
He tried his best, but it didn't go well
It's hard to fly a plane when you're drunk as hell

Appreciate the support! Full song coming to my channel soon <3
Dude what a riff. Love it!
Thanks a ton! Full version of the song coming soon.
reminds me of Sleeping on the Blacktop by Colter Wall!!! sounds amazing man, keep it up🤙
Thanks Claire!! I love Colter Wall. I have a couple of his song covers on the channel. He is a big reason I got into this style of guitar playing.
good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice song and delivery. New fan and sub.
Welcome aboard!
Keep it coming, Ruben, Jys n champ. Luister die al die pad in Zanzibar.
Lekker man!
Jacking Treetop flyer is kinda lame. Beautiful sounding guitar tonaly and voice is dope. Impressive multitasking, id get a capo or change up the stills tuning and finger picking pattern and chords lol. Earned a subscriber but come on my guy
Thanks, I didn't know what you were talking about so I googled "Treetop Flyer" I saw it's a song by Stephen Stills. Very cool song and I hear the similarities you're right! I learned this style with the drop D tuning from playing "Snake Mountain Blues" by Townes, didn't even know Treetop Flyer existed until now. Will give the whole album a spin.
Sounds really good❤
Thanks!
Daamn that some groovy guitar
Thanks man!
This is awesome! Can I listen to this on Spotify? <3
Ahw thanks! Yeah I don’t have a version of this on Spotify, but please go look for the original track recorded and written by Jim Croce, the song is called “Don’t Mess Around with Jim”. Another great song of his that you’ll like is “Bad Leroy Brown”. Great stories in his songs. Also, you can listen to my full version of it on my youtube channel ❤
❤
Dang canola seed

Too bad bud, I subscribed.
All I can say is wow!
Thank you!
Tough....
just a little time is all it takes :)
I love that you intentionally make the same error, Colter did in the accoustic version of the song, at 2:14
Ha yeah lets say it was "intentional" haha
so you just happen to make the same mistake as Colter or what?
Good stuff man

I been practicing finger picking style just to get this song down. I’ve bout got it I’d say 50% to where it should be. Any possibility you could slow it down and show me the way you’re playing it? I’d be eternally grateful.
Brody I have the perfect video to help you. Go youtube mikesmusicmethod colter wall guitar lesson. I learn most of my songs through his channel. He really goes step by step through it all, you’ll finish the next 50% easy peasy!
