This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go So I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow but I realized that I need you And I wondered if I could come home I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said, "This is the first day of my life I'm glad I didn't die before I met you Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy So if you wanna be with me with these things there's no telling We'll just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck And waiting to win the lottery Besides, maybe this time it's different I mean I really think you like me
I’ve been listening to this for 6 years, the fact that it has 20k views and you don’t have more subscribers is criminal, this is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard ❤
This was the first autoharp song I ever heard. Since then I have bought an acoustic then electric autoharp and amplifier / accessories and invented my own fingerstyle for autoharp. You cost me well over 1,200 GBP Jasmine! - But I don't regret it ;)
Hi! I’m wondering if you could help me, I don’t know where to find any music sheets for the autoharp like this song, it’s all songs I don’t know and I would love to learn songs I love and know if you have any advice!! 💓
@@Whentheoceanmeetsthesky Hey, personally I invented a finger style technique for autoharp and use guitar tabs. I play a really unique way and selectively pick each string. Most songs work with guitar tabs even if you are strumming (I can't even strum as I invented my technique right from the start, it was very complex to start but I stuck to only playing that way, as it was quite a task to learn) I've had to alter a couple of chords for the autoharp though. I find autoharp song books are quite standard and good for beginners though. Ebay or Amazon do autoharp specific songbooks. Finding tabs dedicated to autoharps online is pretty hard, or impossible. I usually learn my songs from tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/
@@Whentheoceanmeetsthesky I sit and have it on my lap, a bit more upright. Also if you make sure it's vertical you get a louder and cleaner sound, tilting it backwards kind of dampens the strings and makes it too quiet.
It appears to be an Oscar Schmidt 21 Chord, not sure if it's Chromatic or Diatonic though...From the chord buttons I can see my bet it's a Chromatic, probably a stock model, there are no fine tuners on it.....Hope this helps
I just found this channel, you are awesome! I'm thinking about getting an autoharp myself! Do you find it hard to find music sheets/chords for the songs you want to learn?
Bought my first autoharp recently and I find this so inspiring
Where did you buy it from and how much was it
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow but I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy
So if you wanna be with me with these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
And waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me

Thank you so much!!! Do you hold your harp the way she does or do you have it on your lap/ floor?
