Poetic Genius (original song)




In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows:

1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ExAvdbV5aI

2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar.

3. Click 'Copy link address'.

4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.

Description:

This is one of the few songs I've written that morphed from a poem into a song. This simple tune is based on a poem I wrote when I was much younger, entitled "Poetic Genius." I've modified some of the lines so that they can be sung rather than just read. Hope you enjoy it!

If I were some poetic genius
sitting on the veranda of the one I love
in the morning when the stars
just wont fade out yet
I think I'd write a little haiku
I would write a little haiku
I think I'd write a little haiku for you

I'd post it on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
for you to see it up above
maybe you'd just sit back and smile at
how much a silly little human can love

(guitar)

If I were some nomadic sailor
and I had to leave you on the shore
I have a feeling my heart wouldn't stop aching
so I'd write you a million letters
I would write a million letters
you would get a million letters or more

I'd post them on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
maybe you'd just sit back and smile at
how much a silly little human can love

I'd post them on the moon some night
when it's dark enough
for you to see them up above
maybe you'd just sit back and smile
at how much a silly little human can
how much a silly little human can love
