The music for this song reminds me of Third Eye Blind fused with Tom Petty. And for now we'll leave it at that.

You fight
And you breathe
And you take
What you need
And you cut
And you bleed
And you beg
From your knees

But you can't hold it in till the fall
No, you can't hold it in till the fallYou gamble ( Read more... )

Not exactly word for word an autobiography, but close. As far as the religious part goes: I do consider myself Catholic. I believe in God. I don't believe the Bible word for word. I'm not entirely convinced there's a kingdom in the clouds where we go if we're good and a bonfire underground where we go if we're bad. But I'm not entirely convinced ( Read more... )

This is another one of those songs I wrote in high school. Or started. Okay, so I pretty much just came up with the title and first line.

So first off, here's the music for the lyrics below: Click here for audioUm, so I guess this song is mostly about a sour relationship. Have you ever known someone that you like (doesn't have to be a boyfriend or ( Read more... )

A few posts ago I put up a few lines to a song I had started to write and then completely forgotten about. I wrote the music then. And I finished the lyrics today. While things might be gone they never really go away. We're all connected in one way or another. There's your little disclaimer for this song ( Read more... )

This one's an earlier song written junior year of HS (for some of you - Mr. Abbot's class) and it's pretty much just about life and society. The Circle of Life, but that was already taken. And when a song title is taken, especially if it's taken by a knight (SIR Elton John) then you don't mess with that. There's a rather long explanation following ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the first song I ever wrote. FYI - Fade Away was the second, and in my opinion, best song I ever wrote. It all went downhill from there. Anyways, this here little diddie is about how a lot of times in our life we look forward to something that will happen, or that we hope will happen, in the future. Then it happens, ( Read more... )

So, in light of that sentiment, you're all crazy for dancing to these lyrics with no sound. So, let there be sound!

I'll leave this one up to you to figure out the meaning. At least for now ( Read more... )

This shouldn't need a disclaimer, but it's going to have one. I wrote this song based on feelings. Everyone has feelings. I am not suicidal. I was not suicidal. The most I've ever thought about suicide is to the same extent everyone has thought about it and that's simply acknowledging, "hey, I could kill myself" is a possibility. I don't view it as ( Read more... )

I've written what I consider to be two epics (really long songs) in my short lived lyricist career. The one below is a six-plus minute ska anthem. I'm going to have some fun with this one and not say what it's about. At least not right now. We'll see if you can figure it out. Maybe I'll clear it up later on. Then again, maybe I won't need to. Feel ( Read more... )
