00:24 Hi. Welcome to Learn Guitar with David Brent.
00:29 [music]
00:41 He's back.
00:43 Yeah. Well, can I have a chair this time?
00:45 No, because I just borrowed this from the canteen, so I better not.
00:48 Is this what you do every lunch break? Literally?
00:51 Absolutely, yeah. It's better than up there with that lot just talking about repping all the time, cleaning products.
00:55 So, get down here, get creative. Also, I'm not sitting up there eating pies for the sake of it.
01:00 I want to keep the weight off. I lost weight through careful dieting and discipline, so I want to stay that way.
01:05 I thought it was the nervous breakdown.
01:07 Come on.
01:08 The issues with them.
01:11 Let's, let's, stay fit. Fit body, fit mind.
01:17 That's it, yeah.
01:18 Fit creativity.
01:20 Tell them about this song.
01:21 Well, this song is called Lonely Cowboy. It's a metaphor, really. I mean, it is a cow. We are cowboys. You'll see it in the video.
01:28 We're cowboys, and there were some. I checked, so it is factually accurate.
01:33 It's not really, it's not in a time, do you know what I'm saying?
01:35 Yeah.
01:36 You don't really see the colour or whatever. The video will probably be in black and white anyway.
01:39 I'd have thought so. I'd have thought so.
01:41 It's just the tale of one man against the elements, you know, after he's lost the love of his life.
01:46 He's just out there on his own, do you know what I'm saying?
01:48 Well, I don't know what you're rapping about, but the song.
01:51 Well, I'm elevating the metaphor.
01:52 Right.
01:53 That's what I do with every verse.
01:55 Yeah.
01:56 I take what music has given throughout the ages and elevate. I go up a notch.
02:01 That's what I do.
02:03 Yeah, but I go another notch. You know what I'm saying?
02:08 Lonely Cowboy.
02:10 Yeah.
02:12 You blew into town like a hurricane.
02:18 Dust cloud clear that you were there one day.
02:25 Well, I don't remember praying for a miracle.
02:32 But I prayed that you would never go away.
02:38 I thought you were my guardian angel.
02:45 I thought your wings would keep me warm and dry.
02:52 But you pecked me to the bone and you left me here alone.
03:00 And you spread your wings and flew into the sky.
03:04 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:07 Now, what do you know about the wilderness?
03:10 What do you know about lassoing a bear in the face?
03:13 Or how to kill a fish? How to skin and fillet it?
03:16 Listen to what I'm dealing with.
03:18 There ain't a hood in the world that gets as real as this.
03:21 You could munch a sandwich. I'd rather my hunter gatherer battling other scavengers.
03:26 Might have to punch a challenger, damage a hyena, vultures and all.
03:31 Don't think I won't kick a wolf in the balls.
03:34 I'm a loner and roaming alone. I've got to be ready for anything.
03:38 Even though my heart's been heavy since she left me.
03:41 If she could kiss my horse's arse.
03:43 Yeah, I'm lonely now, but I'm the lonely cowboy.
03:46 She's just a lonely cow.
03:48 Now these plains are my house. She'll never spoil it.
03:51 Grounds, my lounge, lakes and my bath, woods and my toilet.
03:54 Rolling stone, trust me, dusty roads are where my home's at.
03:58 A man amongst the mountains, but nothing like Brokeback.
04:01 Now I'm just a lost and lonely cowboy.
04:06 Nothing like Brokeback, you know that.
04:08 Stripped and burned out on a dusty plain.
04:12 Yeah, yeah.
04:14 And God's mysterious ways ain't welcome here today.
04:20 'Cause there ain't no soul to save, just flesh and pain.
04:27 Yeah, there ain't no soul to save, just flesh and pain.
04:32 Yeah, it's decent.
04:38 Yeah.
04:39 The rap is like, sick. You know, like the way, like the imagery.
04:44 I don't want to say it myself, but the imagery, 'cause it takes what you've done.
04:48 Mine's about sort of like, imagery is, or is she an angel?
04:51 Or no, actually she's a vulture and...
04:53 That's what I'm saying, you've got the basic imagery.
04:55 Yeah, but then you start singing about eating a sandwich and kicking a wolf in the balls.
04:59 Yeah, 'cause it's emotional wilderness.
05:01 Oh, I'm a cowboy, but I'm not a homosexual. Why?
05:03 Yeah, 'cause it's emotional wilderness, but also if I was physically there, like,
05:07 man should know, like, don't muck around, 'cause you could get taken up.
05:11 Ooh.
05:12 And also, like, just because there's no other, there's no females in the wilderness.
05:16 I know.
05:17 It doesn't mean I'm gonna turn.
05:19 And if you are gay, fine, enjoy it. Enjoy it like anyone else.
05:22 Yeah, I'm just saying I'm not.
05:23 I know, I know, but why?
05:25 It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
05:28 If you are. But I'm not either.
05:30 No, we're definitely, definitely not.
05:32 We are gonna warm things up a little.
05:36 It's a little bit naughty.
05:39 There are a few rude words.
05:41 No, come on.
05:43 I work so hard just to pay my bills.
05:50 I play even harder, yeah, like pills.
05:54 (upbeat music)
