JESSA - Simple Little Song (one-take solo, acoustic, with birdie back-up vocals!)

Published 2021-06-04
It was a gorgeous day out, so i was inspired to do an impromptu one-take performance of Simple Little Song on my patio, and the neighbourhood birdies chimed in!

I only played it once through, so take it or leave it, warts and all. This one was a co-write with Robyn Dell'Unto, and can be found in its full glory on September 2020 release, Simple Songs.

Simple Little Song lyrics:

Play me
Play me a simple little song
Make it so simple that I’ll sing along
The very first time you put it on

Make me
Make me a simple little verse
Make it so easy that I’ll know the words
By the first time that it’s really heard

'Cause all these hard times, hard times keep knocking me down
And oh I, oh I want back on the ground
Yeah, this time, this time I’m making a sound
But for now, all we need is to sing a simple little song
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na

Show me
Show me a simple little love
It shouldn’t matter if our thoughts line up
I wanna be the one you’re thinking of

Give me (give me)
Give me a simple little life
Couple of days where I do everything right
Save the world, paid my bills on time (*ahh*)

'Cause all these hard times, hard times keep knocking me down
And oh I, oh I want back on the ground
Yeah, this time, this time I’m making a sound
But for now, all we need is to sing a simple little song
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na simple little, simple little song

Hard times, hard times keep knocking me down (hard times, hard times)
Oh I, oh I want back on the ground
This time, this time I’m making a sound
But for now, all we need is to sing a simple little song
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na simple little, simple little song
Simple little, simple little song
Simple little, simple little song

    As a guitarist/bassist/Ukulele(ist) I look at my fretting hand Way too much while playing. I’m really impressed at how effortless you make it look.

    good to know that you are fine and relaxing outside there singing, while I think I am not okay since somehow my brain is creating round white things floating in my head as if they are on the screen...ahh...

    Nice as always. You sure have a beautiful voice. 1 thing I like about you is you're a musician and I say that because I've noticed through the years there've probably been more men playing guitar then women and even now I wonder if it may still be the same and if so, why is it the case? I've come across many artists on YT, mostly women and though you're not the only one that plays an instrument, some don't and sometimes have a man do it for them. I don't disrespect how whether someone decides to play and instrument or not while singing but when you have more of one group that doesn't play instruments, there's something twisted about that.
  • Jessa do you come from a jewish family? I just had a feeling ya know. Cant explain
  • Did you pay those birds? If not, going to have to report you for illegal business practices, birds' rights matter! lol. Anyway, rabbit hole to be continued, have to go install a microwave for someone, uuuggghhh, lol.
