- 178/366 - I've been putting off doing "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind for so long because it has so many damn lyrics. I think I got pretty close.
__
The 366 Project is a personal challenge to post a different song to UA-cam every single day in 2016, a leap year. The goal of the Project is to better myself by learning and performing music of many different genres, using the videos to hold myself accountable.

Lyrics
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
And she lives for me
She says she lives for me
Ovation
She's got her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down, I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips
In the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One
Now you hold me
And we're broken
Still its all that I want to do just a little I
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
Your voice is perfect to cover Third Eye Blind

Check out his cover of Shimmer by Fuel. He nails the vocals.
Awesome job with this. The ultimate '90s song imho. I love your videos. Keep it up!!!
Thanks for the support!
Dude it's the best cover of this song on youtube!! Good to see this good old song keep it up man
Thanks, Marc!
Old school banger! Best cover of it on YT.
i thought i was listening to the original song :O cool!

whew you weren't kidding there are so many lyrics . Great performance !

omg agreed
Holy crap dude this is an amazing cover. Definitely not an easy lyric to sing.

Love that voice!!! Best song ever! You are truly talented. I would love to interview you for my channel

Great cover.
Thanks man
I wish I could play this good!
Straight up killed it! 👏👍🍻
clean.. Im trying to learn this one. Its a doozie
Seriously. There are so many damn lyrics. Even Stephen Jenkins probably has never played it correctly with every lyric. Also, you never know if what you're hearing is correct, because if someone leave's out a verse, you'd never know.
I was going to do a cover but can’t sing it as well as you just nailed it! Respect my fellow musician!
Awesome cover man
Impressive,Bro👏👏👏.You dont post anymore?
Awesome job man. This is a hard one to sing with those guitar rhythms. You nailed it
Great job man, not an easy song sing and nail the rhythm on guitar. You nailed it
Nice. Good job.

Question: Have you done a cover of Blues Traveler - Hook?
Damn dude. Great job!
amazing!
Nice cover man!
holy fucking talent.
Good Song my brother ....
Plays The Nixons - Sister
How did you prepare for this 366 day challenge? I guess I'm asking about how long do you spend learning each of these tunes adequately? Are these all songs you've kinda been adding to your repertoire over the last 20 years? How many takes does it usually take for you to get a keeper?
We have similar tastes and I read another comment you've been playing for 20 years. Well, so have I, and I can adequately perform - like maybe 10-15 songs! This 366 day challenge thing is pretty hardcore. Good job!
I hardly prepared at all haha. I just decided one New Years Eve that I was going to do it. I thought I knew a lot of songs to go into it with, but I ran out pretty quickly. I knew a lot of the lyrics to many of the songs already just from hearing them over the years, but not how to play them off the top of my head. But it's funny, the more songs you learn, the more you start to realize how many songs have almost exactly the same chord structure. That made picking out the melodies pretty easy for a lot of them. Honestly, I learned about 80% of them like 5 minutes before I recorded them lol. Most of what you see is just after listening to the song and playing along a few times. Then I just went for it and usually did it in 1 take. Thanks for the question. Keep on playing!
@@justinarmstrongmusic Wow, that's amazing. You clearly have a lot more musical/guitar talent than me!
god why have you stopped posting stuff on youtube?!
Dude…. I’m gonna need you to start posting again bro good stuff
Thanks man. Maybe some day.
@@justinarmstrongmusic seriously man. You’re incredible (especially love the blink 182 covers)
Great cover! I can't figure out what's the strumming pattern on the C chord. Can anyone help me out?
Great video dude! The best cover ive seen! What guitar did you use?
Thanks man. It's a 1971 Martin 000-28.
Great job! 4 people must not be familiar with this song
Haha thanks!
why did you stop
I came here to see if you'd hit all the lyrics. I wasn't disappointed...
Completely cloned it. Nice job. I think you played the wrong chord in that one little part from 2:45 to 2:50, not that there are any points off for that. Great sound on the acoustic.
Perfect.👌👏
ぃいね！！
Trying to learn this song on ukulele....i cant do it :(
Sabrina Villa practice holding your chord shapes and then switching slowly. Then you can slowly get faster
hey you got the lyrics wrong. it's "doing crystal meth" not "doing crystal myth" also great job on the cover! you really hit those high notes.
Oh yeah you're right, I just copy/pasted them from Google Play, which I've found is wrong a lot... As long as I sang it right though! Thanks for the heads up and kind words!
No problem!
Holy shit i cant sing that high
Haha yeah it's up there!
He probably did falsetto
Still high tho, I’m a bass so I can’t even get close to that lmao
Horrible
What
great job men
Thanks dude
