Truth Is - Nulberry (Original)

And of course it took forever, but hey here it is. A new original song. I also already have my next upload planned so that one should be up pretty quick. The tuning is FACGCE and here are the lyrics
The truth is
this overwhelming dread
has occupied the space that keeps the good thoughts in my head
The truth is
that everything I know
could be summed up in my life by the nowhere that I go
And I turn on TV
to clear my head of thoughts
'cause whenever I'm thinking
it always goes all wrong
And I'll put on a show
to play some of my songs
I'll dance around on stage
if only to prolong
The truth is
that every time I lie
there's never a good reason
I'm just that type of guy
I tried to
get to you
it's over now
somehow
And I turn on TV
to clear my head of thoughts
'cause whenever I'm thinking
it always goes all wrong
And I'll put on a show
to play some of my songs
and dance around on stage
if only to prolong
And I put on TV
to clear my head of thoughts
'cause whenever I'm thinking
it always goes all wrong
And I'll put on a show
to play some of my songs
I'll dance around on stage
if only to prolong.

Just a heads up, I did not forget about that Q&A video. That's coming up next along with a cover of one of my favorite songs of all time by my favorite artist.

[@johnathanborror2034]

Where do we drop comments for it ??

[@CoryLottSucks]

Johnathan Borror you can just add on here. I’ll answer questions from this comment as well

[@ethanjohnson3642]

Essential guitar tips?

[@warhle.7168]

What's your guilty pleasure music

[@robjetdart9432]

Hi Cory. I love your music and your playing style. I was just curious if you've heard of Michael Hedges or had an opinion on him?

[@Indiboy500]

*looks at watch*...*looks at calendar*...Yeah, I'm afraid it's time for you to start touring the world with your music asap, your work is currently criminally under-represented in venues everywhere. You deserve a stage in every city, people need to be hearing this stuff.

[@oftruthofmen3358]

It's very rare to find something beautiful when all around is crippling misery. But this song is evidence of something beautiful in a life full of dread. Thank you brother.

[@woogdesigns]

Bro this is sick. Has that old school Incubus feel, but way better.

[@CoryLottSucks]

Oh yea! I can totally hear that. Now I'm in a mood to listen to some old Incubus records.

[@Terminado907]

I did not expect the guy i discovered through a 'Send Bobs' cover to write something that means this much to me. Really love it.

[@KALONERD]

Highly relatable and highly rate'able

[@eddiemurphy4851]

Beautiful, I wish more people knew about this amazing music you create.

[@JuanCruzFabi]

Amazing, like always. -The therapist guy

[@CoryLottSucks]

You're amazing, as always. - The guy who needed therapy

[@n0lain]

Bro those are some thicc strings to be tapping on, respect

[@franzmeier4472]

Melancholic tunes to chill/relax/pass my exams to.

[@BenHume55rr]

The truth is, everything I know could be summed up in my life by the nowhere that I go... Great sad lyrics

[@Ethan-gs7np]

This is exactly why I turned notifications on for this man.

[@EscapeTheOverture]

Satisfied smile at the end cause ya friggin nailed it. Haha

[@ME-hc4bq]

I really get a death cab for cutie vibe from your original work, it's beyond astounding

[@foolhardymusicorignal]

Checking into this video for the 10th time, after like 4 years of referencing to it, you are still so amazing. Why tf aren’t you famous??!!

[@5ft4inprotagonist24]

this is probably my favorite song of yours

[@alicebedard2764]

Your music is not only beautiful, it's also incredibly honest and raw. Thank you for sharing it with the world ❤

[@Cuestar]

your music is sickeningly beautiful

[@pez5787]

my heart feels so light listening to you, thankyou!

[@franzmeier4472]

OOOOOOOOOH VAPE NAYSHOOOOON!!!

[@PastorSkeptic]

Your choice of chords is so unique, and those triplets that you play up and down the neck? Not to mention your voice and lyrics are brilliant. Unreal man. Unreal.

[@MantisCrawl]

This song is amazing! Thanks

[@Araknid777]

I love this. Thanks Cory.

[@CoryLottSucks]

Anytime! I'm just happy that people are listening to the songs I write!

[@ethanthatguy9869]

Love this stuff. Thanks for existing.

[@ringostarr3056]

Only artist who makes me cry.

[@TheRedverb]

Great angle from which to shoot the room, and the black shirt black eyewear frame combo works well. Your song writing style is nuanced, subtle when needed, and marked by a tasteful restraint. Been watching you since Mausoleum. You, man, are an outstanding composer of melodies, instrumental passages, and possess a great ear for what notes best follow others, and when to sing, and when to refrain from singing and let the wood and strings be heard on their own. Please keep up the originals. I'm drawn to what you make.

[@redpilledyinzer8477]

Outstanding. Thanks for the great music, and for sharing the tuning too!

[@StephenFullerFilms]

I needed to hear this tonight. Thank you. Always love hearing your work.

[@Noisy.Garrett]

Been depressed for the last couple months. Thank you for this Cory. it made me feel a little better

[@CoryLottSucks]

fishyboy 1230 You have no idea how much it means to make even a tiny difference in someone’s day. I wish you the best my dude.

[@andrewjohn979]

Stay put brother you will get through it. Feel free to talk if you want to

[@Noisy.Garrett]

Andrew john thanks guys

[@Timbelialclarke]

You’re in a good place man! I’m hating on life real hard but it’s music like Cory’s that makes shit better. Very excellent voice and style. Love it 🙌🏻🤷‍♂️🙏🎶👋🏻👌🏻

[@frakass65]

I dont know why but tonight your "rockstar" cover poped in my head. Last time i checked your channel, you had no original song. I was happy to see you wrote a few! What i like about you is that even when you're doing a cover, you make it your own.. and your originals are 10 times better! Anyway, just wanted to show love. Keep going man. Peace!

[@dawudrahman4779]

I finally started learning guitar last week because of you :)

[@CoryLottSucks]

Dawud Rahman Yay! The first month is terrible and it hurts and all the songs you try to play suck but it is SO worth it. Best of luck!

[@dawudrahman4779]

Cory Lott haha that’s all true so far and thanks! Luckily I’m used to a little bit of that stuff from playing violin, which also uses treble clef. Love your channel and all of your music whether they’re covers or originals! Been watching for months and months

[@ExcaliburPaladin]

How is it going after 2 months?

[@dawudrahman4779]

Ber Ber pretty well. It’s a lotta fun and definitely was worth starting to learn

[@andrep.g.490]

How u doing after almost a year? Don't give up just yet my friend!!!

[@grantkeahey8805]

Man I swear the further I dig into your account the more I love your music, keep this up :D

[@dszoo]

My favorite part of the week. When you upload! Keep it up.

[@goosechickinpox7538]

I’ve been listening to a lot of math rock recently and you keep coming up on my recommendations, the THRUTH is; you can’t cease to amaze me. You’re hella underrated🙏🏼 that finger tapping whilst singing takes an incredible amount of coordination. I hope one day I can play like you. Much love n respect!!✊🏽♥️🔥💯

[@PanChomiczek]

love u dude

[@vickivaliant]

BEAUTIFUL.

[@ErrorProne]

Good shit man. You never fail to impress. Still waiting for an album; name your price.

[@Kristofererickson]

Please record an album. I would gladly buy it and tell all my friends to, too. You truly have something special.

[@loganmohler737]

Your original pieces are my favorites

[@skunque0216]

I always look forward to your next upload, this one blew me away.

[@clairethehuman2498]

I love all of your song lyrics, but these really hit home with me. Basically sums up how I've been for the past couple years, especially watching TV to distract from my own thoughts. Your music has helped so many people, including me, and I listen to you whenever I'm feeling really bad and my anxious mind takes over. It always calms me and reminds me of how beautiful the world can be, and that I am not the only one who feels this way. Thank you Cory

[@reecegroves3397]

You need to hit it big, I need you to, you’re something special

[@foxpurrincess3209]

Beautiful song. Your uploads always make my day!

[@elijahconstantinescu1995]

I've been coming back to this particular song for years now! Hope all is well @Nulberry

[@bmxguy418]

omfg yes totally worth the wait, it's fucking beautiful

[@phlppkppn8275]

Really love that improvement in sound quality!

[@willg1315]

Lovin the new set up, and the new song too! Great stuff as usual Cory :D

[@frankk.9834]

man, you're really really talented, I'd buy an album with such songs

[@CoryLottSucks]

Frank K. I’ve got a single coming out this Sunday and an EP set to release shortly after. You could even listen to em on youtube without ever buying them. I’m just stoked to have people interested in hearing my music

[@frankk.9834]

Cory Lott hey thanks for your response, gonna listen to it.... and then buy ;) ...so where can I buy? :)

[@Mr_CMH]

Love it buddy. Keep making more.

[@calebkng]

Bro this hits home. Amazing, keep up the good work!

[@neoyuls]

The lyrics really remind me of the antlers, but guitarwise it is much cooler, great job as always cory!

[@deathslayer2461]

[@sarthakbhardwaj2630]

Imagine a week when he uploads his videos everyday!!

[@Dshizznit69]

Your singing has gotten really good bro! Wow.

[@radtod]

[@jonnybravo4322]

[@meowmixyum881]

Super death cab for cutie vibes. Amazing song.

[@guitarofdestiny]

You are extremely talented my dude

[@jaylewolf5693]

This is fucking great man, cheers!

[@wander6978]

Just found you recently and im blown away, You are a gem my dude. Love these originals

[@TheRedverb]

Wander, You'll dig this. He's actually been on YT before, younger then, still a great song writer, you'll find one of my favorites of his earlier work by typing in, Cory Lott, Hurricanes Hate Wood. You're welcome.

[@moritzunnerstall3992]

This guy needs to team up with rob scallon with some tappy ambient stuff to create something awesome

[@loganmohler737]

Heck yes!

[@tomasribeiro2298]

we miss you man! still waiting for therapy on spotify, one of my fav songs!!! hope you're doing good

[@lainnislame]

I absolutely adore the quality of your voice, its so soothing.

[@HowAreYou61]

[@TheGreenRanger1004]

Dude, this is some Level A content, congratz bro, your songs always take me places Can we expect an EP from you? It would be really awesome!

[@TheRedverb]

Jeferson Jrx, Everything you just said.

[@sekritiv]

Listening to this in 2018 still. Wow. Also am v saddboi still.

[@mudayucker]

I fucking love it bro keep it up your awesome

[@andreagirolami6719]

You're very good. Good luck!

[@zackrasinski6479]

Was in the middle of an intense session on a game, definitely closed it once I got this notification. Fucking rocks dude!🤘

[@Cxmndo]

This is so good, I just found you recently from kind of meme songs like wonderwall, but please make some more originals

[@jalapenoleper8223]

Man you're gonna go really far with music you've really honed this craft.

[@KerokeroYT]

Beautiful song as usual. I really enjoy being able to hear your originals, I don't remember if I comment before or not the anxiety usually prevents me. Anyways, music helps me through a lot be it emotions or processing thoughts (something that I often have to do since my ASD can be overwhelming with sensory data) and your music is up there with my current go-to songs

[@CoryLottSucks]

Kerokero I thought it was a great comment. The truest thoughts come from uninterrupted rambling (that’s basically my songwriting technique lol) I’ve got quite a turbulent brain full of fun emotions trying to ruin my days all the time, but making music is just an undeniable good for me so venting all the hate I have for my brain chemistry is great exercise in forging a more positive relationship with that most mysterious of organs that dominates every second of my life. It’s also insanely gratifying to write music and have it connect with people.

[@paroxysm8588]

I just love the way you play guitar. Its magical asf

[@nhoenderop]

Chills, goddamn man

[@foolhardymusicorignal]

who would’ve ever thought that the “send bobs” guy could seriously be a good fucking artist?

[@shooky5522]

AHH THIS IS SO GOOD

[@OblivionWonderlust]

I know it’s probably too late to submit questions for the Q/A but here goes; How did you get started playing in alternate tuning? How do you go about learning chords and scale shapes in alternative tuning? Do you even learn the shapes or just go by ear?

[@CoryLottSucks]

great question, I will answer it in my video

[@nicwinchester9829]

cody my dude. seriously you need to book some studio time. you need your own albums and a label. you could go somewhere man.

[@herontamer]

you're one of two music channels I subscribe to

[@CoryLottSucks]

Drew Barnes a european tour is a dream of mine so if I ever did get a chance Ireland will definitely be a stop

[@herontamer]

+Cory Lott I really hope so too man! keep us posted :)

[@redlaserfox3988]

Pretty 😊

[@Chaosdude341]

That's some beautiful reverb, mate. You've got some shit figured out.

[@samwelsh9136]

probably wont read this but i absolutely love your music, thank you for producing this perfection!

[@CoryLottSucks]

Dank Meme In your face, I totally DID read it. Also thank you so much! You have no idea how happy it makes me having people listen to my music.

[@samwelsh9136]

Cory Lott 🙌🏻🔉

[@interminalbeast44]

You should make tabs for all of your originals.

[@moritzs8132]

love it love u

[@pravus983]

you're insane

[@amediocrehuman2885]

Hey Cory!!!How do you approach your precussive playing?In the sense that how do you approach when to use beats and when to just strum or tap.Love from Nepal

[@CoryLottSucks]

Akrit Pradhan I wish I had a good answer to this question but it’s really just whatever comes out when i’m playing around with the guitar. Actually, this song was born from an exercise i made for myself to learn how to do tapping while still holding my pick. For the percussive bit the guitar in the song was very slow so it needed something to make it a little more interesting. But yea, like I said, I wish I had a better answer but I really don’t have much of a thought process for songwriting. I just kind of pick up the guitar and go

[@spanzotab]

Bro that's crazy. I just tuned up this afternoon to play Never Meant and then you upload this in the same tuning lol.

[@CoryLottSucks]

Evan Brown American football knows that this tuning is the bees knees lol
