DESCRIPTION:
Buddy (aka "Lisa Marie") TUNED DOWN to D# This is a rugged version to recruit a collaborative guitarist, maybe a vocalist, too, to do a better version closer to how Lisa's accustomed to hearing this song.
It was written back in 1998 when we lived near Detroit and I had access to better musicians than me, so I could write all kinds of challenging, slightly complicated to play songs for fun during jam sessions that evolved into mini "shows", a few people at a time.
I tried to create that atmosphere in Grayling, my wife's town, but haven't been having much luck so far (been at it for like 6 years now, since Lis moved here). This video was done at her house, in the green room (I hope to paint it a violet color, soon).
Anyone who'd like to collab with me to do a better video version of this can hit me up at VincentCiofani@yahoo.com (VincentCiofani at yahoo dot com)
I tuned down to D# because I'm older now and this is the kinda song the third change can give you vocal nodes on if you sing it too many times in one night.
Lyrics are:
Lisa Marie, everything to me. More than just a woman, so much more than my eyes see. The flowers bear your fragrance. 'Got your singers in the trees. Yeah, even nature testifies to all that you must be.
Lisa Marie, everything to me: Little Buddy through those down times, when nobody wants to be. The beauty of your eyes is even envied by the sky, 'cuz it can't get quite as blue, and that's why it sometimes cries.
I can't find a greater ring than to hear the whole world sing: "Lisa Marie".
Lisa Marie, everything to me: When beauty needs a standard, you're her seal of quality. Got that special somethin', 'feel it bubblin' through my soul. I was incomplete. Now you're here to make me whole.
I can't find a greater ring than to hear the whole world sing: "Lisa Marie"
Riches have no meaning if I don't have you to hold. If you weren't here to adorn it, I'd have no use for gold. Soul source of motivation: So magic and alive. Raised me up from deprivation and made sure that I'd survive.
Lisa Marie, everything to me: Little Buddy through those down times, when nobody wants to be. 'Got that special beauty that goes clear through to your soul. So, when a man seeks a companion, you're the ultimate goal.
Other guys can give you rings, but can they hear the whole world sing: "Lisa Marie"?
