I just wrote this song about 30 minutes ago for some English homework. The lyrics are a stanza from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. I feel like the stanza (and the whole poem) captures a bit of how I see myself.
I shot the video in my office with the shutter speed on my camera at 4 (as low as it would go). I wasn’t super happy with this take as far as the singing and guitar playing went, but the monitor I was using as (ghetto) auxiliary lighting cut to a screen-saver at the PERFECT time. I had to use this take, so please pardon the missed notes.
Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-
Almost, at times, the Fool.
