Baritone ukulele demo of Now I’ll Wait by Dylan Santiago

Chords and Lyrics

Chords
| G – Em | C – Am-D7 | x3
If money can’t buy you happiness
Man, you’re doing it wrong
Never get tired of a wish
You’ve waited so long
I’ve been eager like a fish
Out of water

| Em-Ebm-Dm-Dbm | Am – D7 |
Now I’ll wait for you
Like you want me to

| Em-Ebm-Dm-Dbm | Am – D7 | D7 |
Like I’m stuck in two
Places at once

| G – Em | C – Am-D7 | x3
I wanna retire like a king
With jewels, diamonds, and rings
Time to admire what you did
Pass it on to your kin
Life’s a journey from inside
My oh my

| Em-Ebm-Dm-Dbm | Am – D7 |
Now I’ll wait for you
Like you want me to

| Em-Ebm-Dm-Dbm | Am – D7 | D7 |
Like I’m stuck in two
Places at once

| G – Em | C – Am-D7 | G |

If you ever find yourself in Albstadt, Germany, a small city about 3
hours from Munich, then you should look for a little pub.

Inside, it’s all black with dim lighting and frequented by the locals…

There, they have a specialty drink: The Fizzy Bubbly.

I wasn’t familiar at the time, but soon learned that the name comes from
the movie, “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”.

Sadly, I don’t remember the exact recipe, but it was something simple
like 7up with Gin and Lime.

I don’t know why, but that was THE drink to have at the pub. Cause I
looked around and realized that practically everybody was enjoying a
fizzy bubbly.

Silly Germans…

How did I end up there?

Well, I was invited by my good friend, Timo.

His friend and former schoolmate ran the bar — and almost everyone
inside were classmates from the same school. Everyone in there pretty
much knew each other and grew up together.

And god damn, did they lover their Fizzy Bubblys.

There’s really no point to this story, but it was such a unique and cool
experience…

I played some songs, drank some Fizzy Bubblys, and… had a really good
time.

Now, I’ve conjured up a couple new videos, just for you.

First is an original derived from a song I heard from some dude I met in
a hostel in Jakarta. His name is Jimmy Monaghan and he has a band
called, Music For Dead Birds. You should check out one of his videos
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvLl3JnzuNY

It’s a melody that has been stuck in my head for years, and I don’t
think he’s released the song yet — so I hope he doesn’t mind…

The other is yet another Weezer cover..

So, here’s your priority access, first-look, before anybody else at me
nuevo videos:

Now I’ll Wait – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krKRZXLiMuM
Undone (The Sweater Song) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olwbkNqhSY8

Enjoy,

Dorlan

P.S. Got another performance this Saturday, 8pm at The Kitchen on Court
Street in downtown Salem. Details here: https://dylansantiagomusic.com/

Baritone ukulele demo of Hanging Out by Dylan Santiago

Chords and Lyrics

Chords
| E | F#m | G#m | A | x2
Hanging out
Been messin ‘round too much
Like the way
You shiver when you touch
Roses and candles
Who has the time

| E – F#m | G#m – A | x2
Ooh Ah

| E | F#m | G#m | A | x2
Winding down
The party’s out the door
House is dry
I kinda want some more
Cocaine and handles
To pass the time

| E – F#m | G#m – A | x2
Ooh Ah

| E – Adim7 | C#m | AM7 | AM7 |
Still rolling papers to get high

| E – F#m | G#m – F#m | x3
Low feelings of self for reflection
The sexual tension
A sense of suspension
Anything to take the edge
Off of you
| E – F#m | G#m – A |

| E – Adim7 | C#m |
Poor execution for ya
No more excuses for yourself

| E – Adim7 | C#m | AM7 | AM7 |
Not worth the effort til you try

| E – F#m | G#m – A | x4
Ooh Ah

Baritone ukulele demo of It’s All Good by Dylan Santiago

Chords and Lyrics

Chords | D | C#dim | Em | A |
Well versed in etiquette
Passive-aggressive as shit
Not impressed easily
Hard to see her vis-a-vis

It’s all good
No words
Can tell
The look in your eyes
Over
Clear as a bell
Into an empty

A
sky

Chords | D | C#dim | Em | A |
Thank you for everything
Leave you out to dry in spring
Cold hands under the stars
Say your prayers into the fire

It’s all good
No words
Can tell
The look in your eyes
Over
Clear as a bell
Into an empty

Hello bookworms,

You may have read the short story, “Fantastic Mr. Fox”…

Great little book, written by the same author who wrote “Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory”, Roald Dahl.

And all this time, until a few days ago…

And I SWEAR I’ve heard his name pronounced this way,

I thought it was RONALD Dahl.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, but it reminded me something similar…

Most of you have probably heard of the popular children’s book/cartoon
series, “The Berenstain Bears” — about the bear family that does bear
stuff.

Seems innocent enough…

But one day,

Somebody on the internet pointed out that they vividly remember the
series being titled, “The Berenstein Bears” — Berenstein spelled with
an “e” instead of an “a”.

Many people also pointed out that they remember all throughout their
childhood, their parents, teachers, librarians, etc. pronouncing it as
“Beren-steen” and/or “Beren-stine” — as you would typically pronounce a
name that ends -stein.

So, the internet came up with a reasonable explanation for this
phenomenon:

“…sometime between 1986 and 2011, our universe, in which the bears
were named BerenstEin, merged with a near-identical parallel universe in
which the family is called BerenstAin – which altered our history and
left many people perplexed by the change. Further theorists argue that
this mess could even have been created by an errant time traveler.”

So there, you have it.

It appears we all “merged with a near-identical parallel universe” at
some point…

Are you from the BerenstAin Universe?

Or the BerenstEin universe?

I know which one I’m from…

Now, if you’d like to shy away from the ramblings of a mad man, then
feel free to check out these new videos…

Here’s your priority-access, first-look, before anyone else at my new
cover and original:

The Seed 2.0 by The Roots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpFeFGxY6ck
and
It’s All Good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a71mkZ10SWI

Cheers,

Dylanstein

P.S. If you’re in town (Salem), feel free to join me this Friday July
16th, 7pm at Front Street Station Bar and Grill. More info here:

Baritone Ukulele original of I Don’t Know How by Dylan Santiago from The KL EP

Chords and Lyrics

Chords: | BbM7 | A7 | dm7 | G – G7 – G6 |
| BbM7 | A7 | dm7 | G7 – G6 – G7 ||

In a salty rain, I’m feeling young again
And I’ve got nothing left to
Gain or to lose
You’re the one that I choose
The chosen one in my eye
You’re blind to the fact
That you leave and effect that lasts
Hurry up, I think you’re slowing down too fast
In a daze
Every way is a maze
And I’m amazed by space and time

I don’t know how you do this to me
You get me all excited at the wrong time
I don’t know how you do this to me
You’re the reason
I lost my mind

You gave me the look
Then you played with my finger
My hand on your face
And we let the moment linger
You get up
To change the song
Then you
Got on top of me girl it didn’t take long
To see what that smile
Behind your face meant
You brought me to your room with
That intent
You led and I followed
With pride left unswallowed
It wasn’t long for this to happen

Again, again
Again

I don’t know how you do this to me
You get me all excited at the wrong time
I don’t know how you do this to me
You’re the reason
I lost my mind
Let’s go

Woah, woah
Woah. Yeah
And we go down
Then we go down
Get down

Spend all your thoughts
Spend all your time
Say you’ll be mine
Your love is sublime
Oh, spend all your thoughts
And all your time
Say you’ll be mine
Your love is sublime

I don’t know how you do this to me
You get me all excited at the wrong time
I don’t know how you do this to me
You’re the reason
I lost my
My, my mind
I don’t know, I don’t know
How
You get me all excited
At the wrong time, no
I don’t know how you do this to me
You’re the reason
I lost my
Mind

Woah, Yeah
I don’t know how you do this to me
You’re the reason
I lost my mind, yeah
I don’t know how
You get me all excited
At the wrong time
I don’t know how
You’re the reason
I lost my mind, yeah
I don’t know how
You’re the reason
I lost
My mind

Baritone Ukulele original of Who Are You by Dylan Santiago from The KL EP

Chords and Lyrics

Chords: | A | DM7 | E | DM7 – D6 | Repeat whole song

Verse

Infatuated
I’ll assassinate my will
To offer something real
For you
Encapsulate it
Go take everything you hold
And make another mold
Please do
Articulate it
Think before you say what’s wrong
And write another song
Or two
Unmotivated
All that’s missing in my head
Will be there when I’m dead

Chorus

Well, who are you
To take what’s left from me
I’m lost from a to z
But I’m no catastrophe
And, who are you
To come into my life
My neck is on your knife
Hold me close and I will die
And, you are who
Makes everything feel right
How strangers in the night
Come together in the light
And, you are who
Gives into what is good
Like other people should
But they’re just misunderstood

Verse

I fucking hated
How I always had to stay
And never go away
I tried
The commentated
Take a grain with what you’re told
And watch the lies unfold
Inside
Illuminate it
Don’t make everything too bright
Or risk losing our sight
Insight
It’s overrated
Learn this life in your own way
And everything’s okay

Chorus

And, who are you
To take what’s left from me
I’m lost from a to z
But I’m no catastrophe
And, who are you
To come into my life
My neck is on your knife
Hold me close and I will die
Yeah, you are who
Makes everything feel right
How strangers in the night
Come together in the light
And, you are who
Gives into what is good
Like other people should
But they’re just misunderstood

Bridge

They’re just misunderstood
They’re just
They’re just
They’re just misunderstood and

Chorus

Well, who are you
To take what’s left from me
I’m lost from a to z
But I’m no catastrophe
And, who are you
To come into my life
My neck is on your knife
Hold me close and I will die
Yeah, you are who
Makes everything feel right
How strangers in the night
Come together in the light
And, you are who
Gives into what is good
Like other people should
But they’re just misunderstood

Baritone Ukulele Original of Bloody Noses and Balloons by Dylan Santiago from The KL EP

Chords and Lyrics

Verses/Chorus – | e – a | D – G – GMaj7 |
Bridge – | a – D | G – B7 |
Bridge 2 – | a – B7 |
Woah – | B7 | C7 – B7 |

[Verse]
Can you call me
Cause my memory
Is a little bit hazy at this moment

Is it your face that I miss
Cause my mind’s on the fritz
In the need of repair and atonement

[Chorus]
I’ve been shaking, belly-aching
Walking on four legs
You were driving, barely crying
About breaking the eggs

Did we overdose
Which one did we do the most
Honey are you okay
What happened yesterday

[Verse]
I’d been taking medicine, getting Thomas Edison
I swear that i was innocent
Now i’m looking dead as sin wondering who let us in
I hope I didn’t spend a cent.

Here we go again: smell of rum, taste of ritalin
Waiting for the spins to end
Finally awake, enough to meditate
Because I’m having trouble sleeping in

[Verse]
Did I fry my brain
Too much Novacain makes me
Feel much to numb to remember

Which needle’s mine, which is yours
I don’t care anymore
Haven’t done this much drugs since December

[Bridge 1]
And I won’t stop anytime soon
With bloody noses and balloons
Woah, trials and tribulations
That I suffer for sensations I will

[Bridge 2]
Get what I can take
What difference does it make
From being king of nothing
Down to just a pauper popping
From my mouth into my stomach
Wash it down with gin and tonic

Finally, freedom
Take these words cause I don’t need em
Don’t let me join I’ll beat em
Respect is how I treat em

Hope I’m not infected with the substances injected
Cause one day I’ll be elected in a way so unexpected
Woah

[Chorus]
I’ve been shaking, belly-aching
Walking on four legs
You were driving, barely crying
About breaking the eggs

Did we overdose
Which one did we do the most
Honey are you okay
What happened yesterday
Honey are you okay
What happened yesterday
Honey are you okay
What happened yesterday

Chords and Lyrics

Verses – || Bm – F# | G – A#dim |
PreChorus – || Bm – F#7 | DMaj7 – E7 | Em7 – Gm |
Chorus – || DMaj7 | Em7 – Gm |

[Verse]
Wasted in the fall
Staring at the dark
Wondering what else is there for me
Latest expose
They only tell what they want you to say
The truth is never good enough to read

[Prechorus]
Give me all you got
You got me happy to a fault
I know this won’t be forever so
Face me unafraid
For all we know we’ve got today
I never wanna

[Chorus]
Settle down
I never wanna settle down
I never wanna settle down
Settle down

[Verse]
Broken window glass
I put you on your back
The scattered breezes falling for our heat
All throughout the night
I get scared but I don’t frighten
‘Cause my demons are worth battling

[Prechorus]
Give me all you got
You got me happy to a fault
I know this won’t be forever so
Face me unafraid
For all we know we’ve got today
I never wanna

[Chorus]
Settle down
I never wanna settle down
I never wanna settle down
Settle down

[Verse/Bridge]
Giving up your soul
For some self control
Just a piece of the
Whole mighty being you are
Angels and stars fall to your feet

[Prechorus]
Give me all you got
You got me happy to a fault
I know this won’t be forever so
Face me unafraid
For all we know we’ve got today
I never wanna
Settle down
Give me all you got
You got me happy to a fault
I know this won’t be forever
Face me unafraid
For all we know we’ve got today

[Chorus/Outro]
I never wanna
I never wanna settle down
I never wanna settle down
Settle down
Settle down
Settle down
Settle down
Settle down
Settle down

Baritone Ukulele Original of Mistake/Troubled Lives by Dylan Santiago

Chords and Lyrics

Mistake

Verses – | Am7 | D7 | GM7 | B7 | Repeat
Prechorus – | Am7 – A#m7 – Bm7 – Cm7 |
Chorus – | Am7 | D7 | GM7 | Em |
| Am7 | D7 | GM7 – B7 |
Transition – | GM7 – Em | Am7 – D7 |
| GM7 – Em | F#m7 – B7 |
| Am7 – F#m7 | Am7 – Bm7 – Am7 |

Rise up and crack the open road
So sorry, I get cold
I’m rolling up my window
I shoulda brought a coat
I wish that I could fly a plane
To get over this rain
But I’d crash into some Indonesian island

That would be a big mistake
A mistake, mistake, mistake, a mistake
Mistake, a mistake, a mistake

My soul is scraping through my skull
I’m trying to control
Collect these thoughts that leak out of my ears into a bowl
One minor detail overlooked
My brain is getting cooked
My goose is fine
Just hide my shame, swallow my pride

Cause I’m one big, big mistake
A mistake, mistake, mistake, a mistake
Mistake, a mistake, a mistake

Troubled Lives

| GM7 – Em | Am7 – D7 | x 3
| GM7 – Em | F#m7 – B7 |
| GM7 – Em | Am7 – D7 | Repeat til the end

Troubled lives turned troubled youth
They make mistakes and trouble you
So, follow your heart and
Follow through

Troubled lives turned troubled youth
They all just want the “W”
Ooh

Baritone Ukulele Original of Vibe With You by Dylan Santiago

Chords and Lyrics

Intro, Verse, Prechorus, Chorus – | f# | A7 | DM7 | Ddim7 | Repeat as Necessary
Bridge – | DM7 | Ddim7 | f# | A7 | x2
| DM7 | Ddim7 |

[Intro]
Where the hell you coming from
Why’d you make me look so dumb
I ain’t ever feel so numb
Girl, I vibe with you
Failure philosophy
Applebottom, lemon tea
Making a good use of me
Girl I vibe with you
Can’t get high with you
Pick you up with ease
Tried to hide with you
But got locked up in the knees

Woah

[Verse]
Six foot, nah I’m five foot eleven
From counting your piggies
To minutes in heaven
It’s unbelievable
Reason number one I stay here
Is not the big city
It’s not the forte here
It’s unresentable
It’s uncomparable
Trifling, trivial
‘Nother obstacle
For the optical

[PreChorus]
So many chances
I can feel your advances
I can lay here and dance around the subject
So many chances
I can feel your advances
I can lay here and dance and dance and dance

[Bridge]
Sometimes
I watch them
I keep them
Hidden down
Sometimes
I crush them
I kick them
When they’re down

Woah
