Humbly I’ll Fall, a Sammy J Original

I recently finished up recording a song that I wrote. The title is the title of this post (minus the Sammy J Original part… however… hmm). Anyway, would love for you to check it out. I hope you like it. For those interested, I recorded the song entirely in Logic Express using my laptop. I [...]

Sammy J and the All Stars and Late Night Cafe: Expression 2009

This past weekend, Christian Heritage Church here in Tallahassee hosted their 2nd annual Expression event. I was able to participate in two ways. The first way was as a trio with a couple of friends. We did 4 songs that I wrote and a good time was had by all. I was very pleased with [...]

Terrible Summer, Waiting for the Fall

Here’s a quick video of one of the songs I performed at Acoustic Ovation here in Tallahassee on Saturday, October 17th. I hope to have a few more of these up online. It’s a bit dark but the sound isn’t so bad.

I Won’t Remain at Acoustic Ovation, January, 2009.

This is the last official song from my Acoustic Ovation set. I really, really like this song and hope to do some type of recording of it soon. I hope you like it. Thoughts are appreciated. I Won’t Remain at Acoustic Ovation, January 2009 from Samuel Febres on Vimeo.

Sing Alone at Acoustic Ovation, January 2009

This is the 8th song I played at Acoustic Ovation. I love the pre-chorus to this song. Sing Alone at Acoustic Ovation, January 2009 from Samuel Febres on Vimeo.

Humbly I’ll Fall at Acoustic Ovation

I started writing Humbly I’ll Fall late last year towards the end of November/Beginning of December. I really enjoy playing the verse chords on this track, they make me want to do ‘The Rock.’ You’ll have to ask me about ‘The Rock’ later, but I will say that it was born doing Isreal Houghton’s Not [...]

Terrible Summer, Bracing for the Fall at Acoustic Ovation

This song is probably the oldest song aside from Here I Am. I wrote it in 2004 which was the worst year of my life ever. I mean, if anything bad could have happened that year, it probably did. My old church died, which had and has had a huge impact on me and my [...]

Clouds performed at Acoustic Ovation, January 2009

Clouds is the 5th song from the Acoustic Ovation set in January. I really like this song. I think the chord changes are nice and I enjoyed where I began to write it, which was in the built in amphitheatre in downtown Tallahassee at Kleman Plaza. I happened to look up at the sky as [...]

Here I Am at Acoustic Ovation

Here I Am is the 3rd song from the set at Acoustic Ovation. I believe it’s probably the oldest song I performed that night (aside from the Ramen Noodle song). It’s a simple song but I really like the chord progression. For some reason I have a small issue remembering lyrics, and since this song [...]

What Dreams May Come at Acoustic Ovation

Like I mentioned previously, I performed a small concert where I did 9 Sammy J original tunes and 1 U2 cover. This is the second song from the set and it’s called What Dreams May Come. OH! I forgot to mention, Blake and I didn’t decide to co-ordinate colors that night. Keila and or Nat [...]
