A special request from my sister, Elizabeth.

All My Life
Music by America.
Voice and All Instruments by – Ty Martell

And,

Bed Of Roses
Music by Bon Jovi
Voice and All Instruments by – Ty Martell

You know,
I rarely do requests.
Because it puts me on the spot,
and it blatantly shows how much I suck.

But I couldn’t say no to my loving Sister.
Because she loves me, and she thinks I am cool.

Well, mainly because I am family
and that really doesn’t leave her any choice.

No matter!

This is actually the first time
I made a Bon Jovi song.
It’s a version from the “Keep The Faith, Asian Tour” CD.

And about the “All My Life” song,
my version will make you cringe and hate the real America.

Either the Band or the Country.

Take your pick.

Anyways,
Hope you like these, Sis.
Love you very much.

Check them out under CHORUS.

You’re Beautiful
Music by James Blunt
Voice and Guitars by – Ty Martell

This one was requested by my good friend, Jojo Ellis.
Am not really familiar with James Blunt’s music
but this one is actually pretty good.
I am loving the message as well.
You can really feel the sadness on this one.

So okay,
I’ll try to dedicate my rendition of this song,
to all those people who have loved someone,
but got away.

For those long lost loves, that broke your heart.
For those unattainable people you desire that you can never have.
For those forbidden relationships that will never ever be.

This one is for you.

When I say “forbidden,”
I mean someone like Jessica Simpson
falling in love with me.

That can never, ever be.

Because I am a musician,
And she is a famous singer. a girl.

I’ll just settle for Lachey.

Ayy! Dios Mio Papi!

I actually had about a thousand words on this post.
But ended up deleting them all.

I just spared you the agony of reading my anger.

You’re welcome.

Happy Easter to all.

Down To Mexico
Music By Paul Gilbert
Voice and Guitars covered by – Ty Martell

Mobile Player here:

“If my situation gets out of control,
I could run down to Mexico..”

Wouldn’t that be great?

Don’t you wish you could just run away,
when things just aren’t going right?

And no one else with you.
Just you and the ones you love.
And that’s it.

Mexico would be great.
Or Europe,
Or Boracay.

But I can’t go to these places,
that’s why I played this song,
to release my frustrations.

Maybe I’ll go to WalMart.
That’ll make me feel better.

Then I’ll have some sorbetes.

I’m Just In Love.
by Paul Gilbert.

A pretty cool, catchy tune
from one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

This is a song which really lives up to its title.

A song that makes you feel, happy, crazy,
wild, silly and foolish.

Just like what you feel when you’re in love.
You do stupid things like that.

You constantly think about them,
while staring at the ceiling,
and slowly slip in to madness.

Then next thing you know,
you’re gonna start wanting to take a shower,
or brush your teeth.

Then wait in hiding in front of their house,
you enter their bedroom and you start
wearing their dresses.
And try on their shoes.

Wait.
Did I say in love?

I meant I’m a stalker.

Lyrics Start Here
(more…)

I think it’s time for me to stop questioning God,
and start listening.

Don’t mind me.
I am just in the process of mending my damaged faith.

A Song we used to sing in High School.

You’re All I Have.

Always With Me, Always With You

Well, it’s not really new.
I did this a long time ago, but this time,
I found a backing track for it.

The old one,
(it’s somewhere in the Chorus Pages,)
I did all the instruments, except the percussions.

So, I thought, by redoing it,
it’ll sound better.

So, I played it. and it didn’t.

I just can’t move my fingers as fast as I want to.
It just won’t.
I tried.
It’s like my fingers are herniated or something.

So anyway,
I decided that this song is going to have to stay as it is.
I can’t re-do it anymore.

Because you know,
Nobody’s perfekt perpekt purpek free from mistakes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New song added,
and new photos too.

Just gotten busy this past Holiday season,
I never got the chance to post this one.

So, here it is,

O Come all Ye Faithful.

Time after Time

Actually, it’s a version by Tuck and Patti.

Okay, since I am on a roll with betraying my vow
not to sing on the songs I play.
Let me just give a word of advice,
to those new musicians who would like to record their stuff.

When you sing the songs you play,
make sure you clean your nose first.
Get rid of them boogers before you attempt to record anything.

Or else,
you will hear the wheezing, high-pitched noise,
your booger-filled nose makes,
and the microphone will pick them up.

Just like on this song I just did.

But then again,
my voice already sounds like a booger-filled nose,
desperately trying to gasp for dear life.

If there’s one thing I learned from my 2 years in ROTC,
and 1 year of CAT prior to that,
is that, Proper Hygiene is a way of life.

Oh and don’t get too drunk the night before training.
(I am looking in your direction, ESL Posse!)
