So I’ve got another great new song to show you all.  My friend Isaac Holeman wrote the text and is singing on this song, and I wrote the chords and am playing the guitar parts in the recording.  It is the first collaborative effort between Isaac and I, and I hope it will not be the last.

Have fun listening.  Lyrics below:

A couple three weeks ago the leaves turned the color of your hair
I threw handfuls in the wind and I laughed out a riddle in your ear
When you winked at my empathy I placed a white feather on you
When my sight parts the shadows of a darkening forest you’re smiling too.

Over hedgerows and hobbits our talk mirrored our wandering feet
Though the mud was not frozen we glided on over the lea
That November your smile was so meek and wily I chuckled right outta my skin
At the end of the day I could say that I’d do it again.

You have got to check out the song below that was recently recorded in (guess where) my dorm room.  Its the first time I think anyone at Lewis & Clark has recorded a fifteen-something-person a cappella group in a dorm room that can barely fit two beds.

The song is Landed by Ben Folds, and the group is Lewis & Clark’s only all-female a cappella group, The Merryweathers.

Enjoy

Love, Jonah

Lyrics:

The Carrot Song
Jonah Geil-Neufeld

Carrots are long orange straight and round
you can buy them at the store but they come from the ground
They taste good with almost everything
you chop them up and put them on salads, in cakes, and carrot flavored ice cream

Carrots also have nutricious properties
They’re rich in dietary fibre, anitoxidants and minerals
there are so many things that carrots can do
And PS I love you.

Carrots are native to Europe and southwest Asia but are now grown all across the globe
They are full of beta-carotine which gives them there unique orange hue
If you eat too many of them you will get a disease called hypercarotenemia
Which causes your skin to look like you just used way too much spray on tan

Now there is  a popular ready-to-eat snack
There’re called Baby Carrots and you don’t even have to peel them
You just pop them into your mouth, and they’re good for dipping too
And PS I love you.

This has been a song about carrots
but it’s really a song about my love for you
Cause who really gives a fuck about carrots
What did carrots ever do for you?

No they won’t stop the terrosist attacks
and they won’t stop the war in Iraq
Carrots won’t stop the genocide in darfur
and Carrots won’t pay for your college education
and Carrots won’t get obama elected as the next president of the united states
There’s not much that carrots can do for you
but PS I love you.
