My first try in a long time at writing a song. Also inspired by some conversations with OWA and I kept saying 'I don't care' and other things along that line. I also edited it some and rearranged a bit and I tryed to up the anti (sp) every verse to.
Broke a guitar string yesterday
and....
I don't care!
Sucked at a video game
and....
I don't care!
My computer is a hunk of junk
and....
I don't care!
Worrying about small things
makes no sense to me
I can't stand history
It's means little to me
Kid's picked on me in school
and....
I don't care!
My girlfriend ran off years ago
and....
I don't care!
Life can be rough as an adult
and...
I don't care!
Worrying about the past
makes no sense to me
Some people don't learn from history
they mean little to me
Almost finshed college
and....
I don't care!
Been judged without knowing me
and....
I don't care!
Saw horrors on the news today
and....
I don't care!
(repeat 3x's)
I don't care!
I don't care!
I don't care!
Don't let the little things
mess with you
The stupid things
in life can rule you
Alture it, change it...aw forget it.

Hey Ghost.. I care :lol:
I really like it. At first I was thinking some of the lines might be a little tough singing but I picked up the guitar and played the strumming pattern from "Bob Dylan's - Blowin in the wind", slowed down a little, along with it and it went pretty well. Kinda rolls of the lips kind of like "Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care"
Looking forward to hearing it.
id suggest that in the 4 line parts where your not saying I dont care.

I feel like the music for the last 3 lines would have to be repetitive and different from the first lines music in order to tie together the three rhymes. I dunno if that makes sense, this isn't criticism at all thats just how i pictured it working, but with some kinda repetitive 2 chord switch (im thinkin like in mr. tamborine man) it could be pretty awsome

-Chris Thile
Hehehe!!!!
That opens the song up to more possibilites now doesn't it!? I didn't even think of "Jimmy cracked corn...." I was in more of a punk/metal type of mind set for the song when I was writing it. I was thinkin from small personal things to world that affects people when I wrote it.
Thanks Nils and Dneck.
