Please don't tell me my crimes cause I'd much rather sit here in limbo till the end of time And I'm doing alright Yes I'm doing just fine I wash your blood from my sink, I wash it I do Because life without music is like life without you The book I'm reading tells me, I should go But the road is flooded and the sky it looks like snow So I make make make make make try to make up my mind But the forces surrounding are oh so outstanding that I can't even try And I'm doing alright And I'm doing just fine I make a decision, I make it, I do Because life without music, I like life without you Tags: songsfromahat abby simons life without music guitar girl unsigned folk funny ukulele julia nunes rocks ya tagged her |

SFAH 27: Big Red Lie Allright so right as I was finishing editing imovie quit and I lost all my edits (because stupid me didn't save) so rather than re-edit it all and be late I will summarize what I said here! you can find the lyrics at: http://nerdfighters.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1833893%3ABlogPost%3A482817 1. My laptop is fully dead :( and the files can't be recovered, including my new intro. So I'm inviting all the Songs From a Hat viewers to make me a new one! Just make sure it's: a) less than 15 seconds b) has the words "Songs From A Hat" and "With Abby Simons" in it. c) Feel free to use clips from the show. Animated would be awesome. Write me a theme song? 2.The song title picked (via random number generator, because my printer is out of ink) was comment #132 or "Life without music" submitted by Nikki2987. I lamented that the number wasn't 133 because that title was "If I didn't have hands" because that would be an awesome song. I then challenged ya'll to write THAT song! Do it, and win a prize!!! 3. FINALLY a winner to the song challenge from two weeks ago. Congrats nothintosee!!! See his great song here http://youtube.com/watch?v=LtLGd62R5e8 Give this awesome songwriter some subscriber love! 4. Mr. Nothintosee will get a SFAH shirt as a prize... Just as soon as I got 'em! As you may no, the old shirts are no longer available. But new shirts (and a new system) will be on the way soon! 5. I think this is everything. See you next sunday! Oh and, of course http://myspace.com/abbysimons love, abby Tags: songsfromahat abby simons tbig red lie bug music guitar girl unsigned folk funny |

My Fifty Things So here's the deal yall! As Todd told you last Sunday, I've been having internet troubles and on top of that a slew of other issues this week. One of the biggest issue is that I couldn't (for the life of me) write a version of "roller coaster psychiatrist" that I could stand to play all the way through. I've also been busy basically 24/7. So I'm not gonna upload it! Instead you will get a fresh SFAH this Sunday (aka tomorrow) and some time before this project is up (in approx 33 weeks) you will be ambushed by a surprise SFAH to make up for the lost one! As for a punishment, yes I think we all can agree one is due, but please hold off your ideas until the comments of tomorrow's video. In the mean time, enjoy this vid (a parody of the fifty things vlog trend) I made a bit ago! More info on this whole debacle will come in tomorrow :) See you tomorrow... I PROMISE! love, abby PS Welcome new subscribers sent by Hank and Lauren! You guys are, how you say? AWESOME!

Would you kiss my lips? Would you wipe away my tears? If I was 65 already, and ugly as poor betty, Would, you be my love? If I was 35 already Would you crave my silhouette-y? Would you make do with my baby bumps? Would you laugh and play me Watch reality TV, Even though you hate it? Would you answer every time I call? Would you catch me when I start to fall? If I was 35 already, going strong and steady, Would you be my love? But I'm no young young old old woman I'm just trying to live true With my feet on the floor I want nothing more Than just to impress you If I was 15 already Would you let me pierce my belly? Get a big ole tattoo on the back of my ass? Would you help me do my chores? Eat me some s'mores till my stomach exploded? Would you wait for me in the third floor hall? Would you write my name on the bathroom stall? If I was 15 already, oh so young and petty Would you be my love?
