| | | | Song to Play for a Girl
Sign in to disble this ad
So I really like this girl, and we're going to be on a church retreat this coming week together, which is a great chance to hang out during down time, and all. I'm bringing my acoustic guitar, so I can jam a bit in my room with my room mates on the trip, anyway, so I figured I'd try to play something good for her when I get the chance to spend some time with her. I was thinking NOT romantic, but something like "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, you know something that doesn't pour out gooey-lovey stuff (which I'm sure would make her a bit uncomfortable...  ), but something that says "Hey I really care about you." Any ideas, fellow TB'rs?

Sorry if this is one of those videos that gets posted way too often.
...and sorry for not contributing seriously. I am drawing a blank. |

I think just playing to her, will bring some good feelings out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6KYAVn8ons

| | | Dude, I'm getting kind of tired of the Buckcherry, SNL, and "Playing guitar to get laid". I like a funny vid (Lonely Island Boys, etc.) as much as the next guy, but come one! I'm serious here....

| | | Wait! I can't believe that I didn't think of this in the first place. I should just friggin' ask her what her favorite song is!  I just failed.
