‘I Don’t Want To Wait’ Original song by unsigned songwriter Kim Larking. Piano ballad on the electronic keyboard. Read more for lyrics:

‘I Don’t Want To Wait’

It’s hard to come to grips with what I’m seeing as my failure to fit in anywhere
And all the people in the world just don’t want to care
It’s taken me some time to build the courage up to now
But I just want to say these words somehow

Why does it feel so hard
And why do I feel so lost
I want to be someone special
Not wallowing in their dust
And I don’t want to wait
But I have to wait until
The perfect end comes into view
It’s just a dream but if I believe
One day perhaps I’ll be with you

This world’s so very beautiful sometimes it takes my breath away
I’m so wrapped up in jealousy because it never comes my way
I know you’re just another normal guy without a clue
But I still want to say these words to you

Why does it feel so hard
And why do I feel so lost
I want to be someone special
Not wallowing in their dust
And I don’t want to wait
But I have to wait until
The perfect end comes into view
It’s just a dream but if I believe
One day perhaps I’ll be with

It shouldn’t mean so much to me
It’s been my own philosophy
That it’s the shy ones and the kind ones
Who are so often left behind
But I don’t really want to be
Caught up in their reality
I want to start again
I need a friend or someone to call my own

So why do I feel so lost
I want to be someone special
Not wallowing in their dust
And I don’t want to wait
But I have to wait until
The perfect end comes into view
It’s just a dream but if I believe
One day perhaps I’ll be with you

Here I give a quick (and quite amateurish — I am not a good keyboard player by any means!) demonstration of my Casio PT-100 keyboard. It is ALL ORIGINAL and NOT modified or “circuit bent” in any way, unlike almost all the other Casio keyboards you’ll find shown on YouTube!

From the late ’80, the PT-100 was one of the last and most advanced Casio keyboards to use exclusively multi-pulse squarewave sounds… *not* FM synthesis or digital samples! It also features Casio Chord with percussion accompaniment, which also makes some very nice retro-style synthesized electronic sounds, especially the “zizz” sound of the hi-hat cymbal.

I just wish they made a bigger keyboard with the same electronics, because I really like its sounds (both keyboard voices and percussion / accomaniment), but especially with Casio Chord enabled, it doesn’t give you very many keys to play the melody on.

p.s. The snippet of melody I keep repeating is from Louise Tucker’s “Dancing By Moonlight”, which itself is based on some classical composer’s melody, the identity of which is unknown to me.

I was watching a few videos of people doing melodies from famous Trance songs on their PC keyboards, and I thought that it was cool since I don’t have a MIDI Keyboard either…So, this is the result.

Hope you enjoy!
