Record Prep

Hey everybody!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog.

It has been far too long since we last spoke.

Lot's of new things are happening, and I'm most excited to announce a set list that recently happened at Pianos.

1.) Listening
2.) Remind Yourself
3.) Everything You Need and more
4.) Magazines
5.) Listening
6.) Freedom (Jennifer Sullivan Cover)
7.) Heaven or Hell
8.) Quiet Day
9.) Nothing is Real

11.) Why Don't We Do It In The Road?
12.) Song To You
13.) Comfortable
14.) Addiction to Love
15.) Road to Redemption
16.) (Hidden Track)

The show went flawlessly. I have been very busy writing and recording and I am stoked to get some new music out into the airwaves.

Throughout the months here, as the seasons change, I will be leaking tracks from the new record, and letting y'all know what I have been up too.

Unfortunately, in Nashville, my lap top was stolen from me, which through things off for me a bit, and I am currently trying to land back on my feet. If you are reading this, from my lap top, or you have any leads to my missing lap top, please do send me an e-mail at zrobb50@gmail.com.

Anyhow, the missing piece, has created a determination within me to express my feelings over the internet and talk about all that has been going on. Lots of songs have been written. And I mean, LOTS! That's why, I really want to just start writing and expressing my thoughts and feelings. I feel like, the more lyrics, I write here, the more I can start to incorporate new poems, and lyrics into my songs. So read, as we morph into a creative and more appealing thought process. Love, is all around, as it always is, and always will be. And the excitement of new journeys and adventures have made life get easier and easier.

Throughout the months, I have been writing songs that you have not heard such as Waitin', The Secret, Comin' To Nashville, Under The Sea, Sequels to Strummin' and One Thing is For Sure, They Do, Melinda, Magazines, Hats, songs that have slipped through the cracks, Ask Why, Tomorrow, Classroom Symphony, lol... It's all here, it's all in my inbox. Oooh, one of my favorite tracks, Names of Instalove, inspired by John Lennon, Janis Joplin, and Johnny Cash. It has been a journey, kickin back at home writing new music. Let's put some of these new songs into perspective. I've been dying to compose these tracks for a while now, and it seems that I've focused more on recording more and more songs, rather than focusing on composing. I keep saying, oh yeah, I'm going to tab that song tomorrow, and then, it just doesn't happen. This week and throughout the next few months, I am going to be pen to the paper, putting these songs in ink, and really letting some of them leak out. Thank you for listening. Let's get to it.

Listening, originally published to facebook as a riff inspired by Strawberry Fields Forever, turned into a beautiful song, whose lyrics were handed to me through the form of a poem. The poem was given to me, from my dear cousin, Alison. Alison, with effortless skill and flawless talent, has a passion for writing poems and writes naturally and without worry. I love Alison, because she was really able to tune into The Secret of life and lend us the key to it. What is The Secret?

The Secret to living, is not to stress. The Secret, is simple. The Secret, is a conversation we all find ourselves in awe over, time and time again. Whether we realize it or not, conversations regarding the secret keep re occuring throughout the world, leading us into temptation.

The Law of Attraction

The famous book

The movie

These are all thought of and brought up when discussing The Secret.

But...

The Secret by my cousin, Alison Small.

That is the most beautiful poem that has ever been sent to me.

It sends goosebumps down my spine.

Like no one's listening. As we dream. No one listening, is as it seems. What's the secret? Why are we here? Make a wish on a shooting star. Cuz we all want to know about that paradox, We have it in our blood, to grow with the tide.

The wind is billowing. Are you listening?
The leaves are rustling. Are you listening?

Tune into, the love, and let your thoughts go.

Cause experience, is what makes us.
We are our choices and our mistakes.
 If we don't take chances, we'll regret it when it's too late.

We are building up, the climax, and the poem is sensational.

Alison's ability to draw the listener in, with ease, and agility, astonishes me. Naturally, tuning into a zenful atmosphere, Alison, inspired me to write, and gently held me as I fell in love with her poem, and songwriting.

Looking at the sky, wondering why we're all here.
What's the secret?

What's the bigger plan?

Who has the answer?

I love Alison's poem so much, it gives me tons of goosebumps.

These are the questions and the themes that we should be getting at. I feel like, these thoughts and suggestions, are bringing us closer together, and helping us on our journey. Alison has the answer. And while, I am not ready to give it away, I applaud Alison in her sensational poem, and thank her, dearly.

There's no doubt in my mind, that these next few months are going to be intriguing with feelings and love, as we all fall in love.

The comedian, in me, is working up many brilliant Comedies.

Leading up to the elections, my songwriting has lead me to write songs about the upcoming election. I've written A Trump Song and a Thanksgiving Comedy.

Even, with my comedy which will one day be completed and released, about The Donald, I still am deciding, just who exactly I am going to be voting for this November. I know many of my fellow NYC friends have gotten me to want to vote for Bernie Sanders.

The creative love, inside of me, is looking forward to expressing, what this is, love.

After all, the melodies are there, and the ones that were good, are still there.

Since you have made it this far, I feel like, it's a good time to let you know that I do have All For You posted at www.zacharyrobinson,bandcamp.com . As time goes on, we are gearing up for the release, which I do have an Album Title Leak!

The album is going to be self titled: Zach Robinson!

Your ideas drift on the page, through a leaking marker.
Painted in blue, red, and gold.
They make there way to and from, page to page.
Past turns into present leading us to the future.
And you're onto something when you know.
Relax the mind, and enter into a wild unkown.
While life beckons, a fleeting heart loves her.
And so you reach into the sky, and call for love to pour.
Each, wave wonders, each light ponders, and each soul breeds.
Where there is love, there is a light, and it leads.
You hear the sound, and so you crawl, simply to enter.
Over a hill, your soul's in tune, while your head wonders.

Songs, upon songs, yet to be fully scribed and yet to have made it.

The book of love, has also begun.
While many of it's pages, are left with Mr. Asus, maybe Mr. Asus made it to this page and wants to e-mail me that book that I started.

(Write more song lyrics to the songs that have been written)

So, not too long ago, I got an e-mail in my inbox, with an updated track list. As you may have heard, we are getting ready to release a record.
Now, I do not want to give too much away...
But here is a track list that was sent to me.


1. Loving
2. Addiction to Love
3. Blue Jeans
4. Never too Late
5. Moments
6. Trump Song
7. Road to Redemption
8. She Said
9. Hats 
10. They do
11. Beehive
12. Just Breathe
13. Music

The track list helped me in so many ways.

I care tabs


E – B – A - B
Onto another walk through the park today.
Arent we moving at such a fast such a fast pace.
Life is like a movie, so just lean into me.
Like a bunch of nudists on the beach.

C#m – F#m – A - B
And I’m finding it to be a bit easier today.
I’m calling on the loved ones for all they have to say so I’m singing.

E- B – A - B
Honestly, I’m feeling something for you, it’s for free.
So we’ll drink a lot of tea. And move on, onto something new.
On to something new.

It’s like a wave, a wave of love that fills the air.
And it’s all a dream, so hold onto your hair.

Cuz it’s gonna be a long time before we get there.
So if I can get to the place, that we know.
Then I’d love to just hold you there.
And when I arrive, I’ll say I love you and I’ll say that I care.
Ya you know that I care… x4

So with my heart I’ll sing about the birds and the bee’s.
And how I love you and how you love me.
And with our love we can feel it as we roll away.

Nine o Clock tab


Capo 1st Fret

Am - F - C - G
When walking around in my loving way.
Am - F - C - G
I love to love a feeling ok.
F G F G
Creating a conversation laced with loving feelings makes for a lovely day.
Am F
And as you walked by my side.
C G
And gazed into my eye.
Am F C G
And told me all about your life line.
F G F G (keep repeating same chords)
How you wake up in the morning like a beauty, movie scene, it's how it seems.
But whatever is said, and whatever is done, will be revealed after midnight.
Going on one.
On one.
When your memory is shot, cuz you smoked to much in the parking lot.
You lay your head in my lap.
And you look up at the dashboard.
It's only Nine o Clock.
What more could we ask for.
It's only Nine o Clock.
What more could we ask for.
It's only Nine o Clock.
What more could we ask for.
She's a good girl.
Crazy about Elvis.
She loves Jesus, and America too.
She's a good girl.
Loves her mama.
Loves horses, and her boyfriend too.
Cuz I'm free, free falling.
I'm free, free falling.
Scat.

VERSE

It's always west of heaven and east of hell.
Am   -   G   -   F
So take me on, take on me, take me on.

Rhythm of a Song Tab

Capo 3rd fret

Main Riff : C - Am - G - CMaj7

Notes: The C Maj7 chord is heard. It's tabbed out as 3-3-5-4-5-3. This is the 4th chord in the main riff. Now lets chat about how we're using our pinky and pointer to make the riff sound good. Our 4 chords are C, Am, G, and CMaj7. Make sure your thumb is hitting the bass note (E) for the CMaj7. Now your first chord is actually a Cadd9 because your pinky is on the 3rd fret of the B string, making the chord 0-3-2-0-3-0. To make it sound like the song, while you are playing the riff, you need to let go of your pinky, bringing you to a C, and then lift up your pointer bringing you to a funny version of a CMaj7 which is tabbed as 0-3-2-0-0-0, and then simply hammer on your pointer to give you a C. For your Am do the exact same thing on that B string as you did with your C chord. Your G chord is tabbed as 3-2-0-0-1-0, lift up your pointer giving you 3-2-0-0-0-0 and hammer it back to 3-2-0-0-1-0. Have fun!

VERSE
Walking by a deep, deep river when viewed from the sky.
I wondered how long it could run, and maybe from this flight. 
My view from the sky, is perfectly high.
It's perfectly high enough.
And on the ride, I finaly realized that the most we could do is already done for us.
So I'll leave it as I found it. Lets leave it as we found it.

CHORUS
C - Em - F - G
Everyone knows. Life gets better as it goes.
Leave my words in bold.
Don't it feel so cool.
In the rhythm of a song, I heard a melody.
And it stopped me in my feet.

VERSE
C - Am - G - CMaj7
So you know that it, well it wont be soon.
But while we wait.
All our problems can sail away and as we crawl into the open air.
I love to be the one to share. 
Because the wind is getting thin and the finish line within well you know.
That it isn't really all that far.
So I'll just keep on keeping on.
I'll just keep on reaching up. I'll just keep on reaching.
Higher, higher, higher to the stars.

CHORUS
C - Em - F - G
Cuz everyone knows that life gets better as it goes.
So leave my words in bold.
And don't it feel so cool.
And in the rhythm of a song I heard a melody I did.
And it stopped me in my feet.
