I Used to Be Young
Brand new original song, here is the first recorded version! I wrote this a few months ago, thinking about how no matter how old someone is, they always get reminiscent about how "I used to be young." I've always loved songs that started out with the chorus so I finally wrote one. Lyrics below:
I used to be young, from everyone you hear the same thing
Whether you're 93, 48 or 17
Your body gives out now, there's no time for all of your plans
But mostly it's all the choices that you see other people
Taking out of your hands
I used to be young
At nine years old I was nothing but imagination
I didn't know much but I knew that there was nothing that I couldn't learn
Then a couple more years and I start...

Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues - Jim Croce cover
Просмотров 1263 месяца назад
Have wanted to learn this song for a while, and finally did it. We've all met someone (or is it me?) who thinks their ship should have come in long ago, and the world owes them. I can only imagine the songs Jim Croce would have written in the second 30 years of his life...the world missed out.

Desire - live at The Little
Просмотров 1444 месяца назад
One of my favorite lyrics that I've written - it's a duet so I don't get to perform it very often. A song about feeling trapped by warring desires and grappling with your identity after a lifetime of mistakes. Duet with the talented @KellyIzzo at The Little Theater on May 29, 2024. Thanks to my wife Alinda for the video, and thank you to everyone who came out to support us for our May residency...
Gasoline
Просмотров 1375 месяцев назад
Original song “Gasoline” from my 2023 album “Somebody Else’s Broken Heart.” This song is about my Dad, who was a truck driver for decades. The smell of gasoline was ever present growing up, and it always makes me feel nostalgic. I’ve always wanted to use gasoline as a metaphor in a song about him and it finally came together.

I’ll Lead You Home - Michael W Smith
Просмотров 2356 месяцев назад
One of my favorite songs of all time- ​⁠@michaelwsmithTV is why I became a songwriter. I’ve never found a solo acoustic version of this song (come on Smitty, put one out!) so I did one myself. From his 1995 album I’ll Lead You Home. This song has brought me hope in many dark hours of my life. Just raw sound, no vocal editing. Thanks for listening!
Silence & Forgiveness
Просмотров 1617 месяцев назад
Maybe you have someone in your life who has hurt you, and you never understood why. It’s hard to think you might never know, and that there isn’t an explanation. I wrote this song about a person like this in my life. Writing it helped me move toward the forgiveness that ultimately sets us free from holding onto resentment. Sometimes it’s a daily choice. You can listen to this song on Spotify he...
Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)
Просмотров 3108 месяцев назад
"Off the porch" front porch song! My mouth was a little frozen. I first heard this song on Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour and thought it would be fun to cover. It was made famous in 1949 by Guy Lombardo's big band. Written by Carl Sigman and Herb Magidson. Follow my channel for more videos on the regular!

Elijah (live from a winter wonderland)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
I wrote this song based on one of my favorite stories from the Hebrew Bible, the one of Elijah fleeing to the desert in 1 Kings 19. It's a powerful story of the human experience - triumph and success followed by self-doubt, fear and despair. How frail we humans are. This is live sound - no filtering, mics or overdubs, at a few points you can hear the wind. We shot it after a robust hike through...
Sing We Now of Christmas / The Last Tsarina
Просмотров 1319 месяцев назад
I love older and lesser known Christmas carols, like this one- Sing We Now of Christmas (a traditional French carol). I created a medley with my original piece The Last Tsarina, as I felt the pieces had similar elements, haunting and subtle. You can find The Last Tsarina on my full length piano album, Still With Me: open.spotify.com/track/6FW7awci1DKNSwxdKhk60a?si=RqyppNY6R3yBAUEUS882cw Merry C...
Time to Move On - Tom Petty cover
Просмотров 3579 месяцев назад
Finger style version at dusk of Tom Petty’s “Time to Move On,” from his solo album Wildflowers. One of my favorite Petty songs- perfect combination of movement and restless yearning. Sorry for the bits of wind- but after all, it is on my front porch. Find my original music at levigangi.com Subscribe for more videos on the regular!
Permission (live at Lovin' Cup)
Просмотров 12810 месяцев назад
I wrote this song for people who at some time in their lives need permission to let go their experiences of angry words and abuse. Strange to think that we need permission to do this, but often this is exactly what we need to hear. Subtitles are live for this song so I if you need to hear this today, I hope the words speak to you! Listen to this song on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/57coJVBub...
The Words I Have Left (live at Lovin' Cup)

Another original song from our show on 11.19.23 at Lovin' Cup in Rochester, NY. I wrote this in 2007 when I was going through a divorce. I'm often asked if singing songs like this brings up the difficult subject matter that is in the song, and my answer is that in time songs like this take on a life of their own - despite what it was written about, I know that the imagery and content of the son...
Stand Still (live at Lovin’ Cup)

An original song, one of my favorite and most meaningful choruses I have written. Sounded 100% better with my friends @KellyIzzo and Mike Shapiro joining me at Lovin’ Cup in Rochester, NY. Find my original music at levigangi.com.
Peace Like a River - Paul Simon cover
Просмотров 60711 месяцев назад
Learned this by watching the amazing @JoshTurnerGuitar cover this beautiful tune. For a while, I only had one guitar to gig with so I didn’t want to tune it down a full step for one song. I challenged myself to sing this in standard tuning- a full step up from Paul Simon’s original recording. Hope you enjoy! Find my original music at levigangi.com Subscribe for more!
Murder (the slow way)

First front porch video with subtitles! It’s almost Halloween, so I figured I’d feature my murder ballad, or non-murder ballad- guess you’ll have to listen. It made my wife laugh so I decided it was was pretty good. You can find it on my new album here: levigangi.hearnow.com Main website: levigangi.com Subscribe for more!
