If DJ Ashba’s Guitar Could Talk ….

The other day I asked the universe to open my creative senses in an effort to help unblock some of these obstacles interfering

Very cool photo taken from DJ Ashba’s FB fan page. Looks like he is praying.

with creating and developing projects. I was pondering and sort of wondering about the greatest musicians of all time that goes back to the ancient of times because I have several favorites and have a wide range of musical tastes. That said, King David popped into my mind because David and his harp was the only thing that could soothe King Solomon back in that era. With many millions of copies of his lyrics in print, and performances of his work all over the world, any day of the week, King David also holds the distinction of being the best selling musician of all time.

David wrote countless psalms and poured out his soul, and I would’ve liked to have seen him with an electric guitar. And I didn’t realize til recently how much I looked up to David and soaked my skin into his psalms during my teen years when I was learning about him.

I know I will have to write about King Solomon and later King David in a piece that will preface another major project I’m working on as I seek to find that perfectly synced breakthrough. Everything has to feel right … it has to feel the best and as perfect as I can get it in order for me to work better — for that perfect product and outcome.

Anyhow, while I was thinking of how King Solomon had to use King David’s harp and music to get by in life … a guitar solo I heard by DJ Ashba keeps reoccurring in my memory after seeing him at a concert in Las Vegas.

I sat there and listened to this guitar solo over and over (what can I say, it’s so soothing to me), and asked what the guitar was saying to me if it could talk, and here is what the guitar said to me because it seemed like I could hear the words emitting from the strings being plucked:

[If my lyrical words needed a title below, it would be Electric Love]

:56 Minute mark of this DJ Ashba guitar solo

I’ve been thinkin’…
Won’t you tell me you need me
Is it just me needing you
Bleeding my soul to you

1:11 Minute mark

Baby, pleeeeease
Tell me how much you need me
Clenching fists, filled with angst, soothe me now

1:26 Minute mark

Grab me now
Fill me somehow
Take me in and breathe me in
Won’t you receive it all in with all I have to give
Never coming down off this cloud
And when we do we’ll share a life and make it beautiful again

1:40 Minute mark

Won’t you beeeg, fight, scream and plead for me
Can’t you seeee my heart is aching deeply for you?
Sitting here
Restless
Defenseless
Helpless
Relentless
I can’t breathe without you
Your love has taken it a whole ‘nother level

1:54 Minute mark

Tell me how much you need me
Beg and plead the love I have 4 you
Set aside all pride
It’s just you and I
Close the door and shut out this world

2:09 Minute mark

Baby, pleeeeease…

2:12 Minute mark

Tell me how much you need me
The way I need you
Electric love is screaming that I’m your destiny

2:23 – 2:50 Minute Mark

Guitar Break too good and I’m too speechless to find words for this part of the video

2:51

Won’t you beeeg, fight, scream and plead for me
Can’t you seeee my heart is aching deeply for you
Sitting here
Restless
Defenseless
Helpless
Relentless
Can’t breathe without you
Your love has taken it a whole ‘nother level

3:05

Tell me how much you need me
Beg and plead the love I have 4 you
Set aside all pride
It’s just you and I
Close the door and shut out this world

3:20

Take my love … I’m all yours
I’m screaming and will always come back for more
Regardless the thorns
Baby please I’m on my knees, I’m on my knees

Burning electric love is screaming that I’m your…I’m your…I’m your destiny
