Just for Once
The Building Lyrics

Never gonna go, never gonna let you win
I’m never gonna do that again
I won’t stand by, I won’t watch you waste
I’m not gonna help you pretend

When I was near and you needed me
You’d never get off the phone
Never heard from you again, I guess
I was there to leave you alone

I’m tired of giving up
Everything for your love
And I get none
Just for once
Just for once
I’d like to see you try

I’m tired of giving up
I’m tired of giving up
I’m tired of giving up
I’m tired of giving up
I’m tired of giving up

Everything for your love (I’m tired of giving up)
And I get none (I’m tired of giving up)
I get none (I’m tired of giving up)

I love you but there’s nothing I can do
Except love you

Gold! I love the contrast from the intentionally goofy comedy parts right into some really smooth melodic and complex bits that really show off your skills.
Real performance gold. The only kind of a performance from a musician who decided to "play all the instruments" and showing how far you can go instead of professionalizing in just one could give you.

@Dirtbaghippy

Dude! This is so awesome. I just stumbled upon your channel and have started watching all your videos and sharing them to my musically inclined friends. I am inspired by how you create an instrument out of household and hardware store components. I made a fretless cigar box guitar a number of years ago that I gave away to a friend for a Christmas present. I definitely have to try making some of your instruments, they look so fun to play! I might start with the membrane clarinet, though I have never played one before. You should try making an instrument using glass as the inspiration like how you can make it sing with a wet finger on the rim. Thank you for the awesome videos.
