so. every time i find the will to play guitar + sing in front of lots of people -- therefore requiring microphones and pickups and other such nonsense -- something happens wherein i am unable to do the performance justice, i.e. forced to run the acoustic guitar through a bass amp, absentee mic stands, lack of personnel running proper sound mixes.

i'm thinking this is a sign. i guess i'll just stick to being unplugged.

and i will make you all mushy."

i need somebody, not just anybody [help!]
you know i need someone

when i was younger so much younger than today
i never needed anybody's help in any way
but now these days are gone, i'm not so self-assured
now i find i've changed my mind, i've opened up the doors

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate your being 'round
help me get my feet back on the ground
won't you please, please help me

and now my life has changed in oh so many ways
my independence seems to vanish in the haze
but every now and then i feel so insecure
i know that i just need you like i've never done before

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate your being 'round
help me get my feet back on the ground
won't you please, please help me

when i was younger so much younger than today
i never needed anybody's help in any way
but now these days are gone, i'm not so self-assured
now i find i've changed my mind, i've opened up the doors

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate your being 'round
help me get my feet back on the ground
won't you please, please help me
