The Last of the W.I.P.'s

Ok so the next few songs I post are extreme works in progress, I mean that most of them don’t even have an ending yet. The only reason I’m posting them is to get some sort of input/help with them. So here they are, bunched together for your reading convenience:

 

Dreaming About You

Hair

 

And now I’m dreaming about you

While I’m lying in bed

And now I’m dreaming about you

And what I could’ve said

And now I’m dreaming about you

In the middle of class

While I’m dreaming about you

I just hope it will last

 

You once asked me if I’d ditch my friends

To go and hang with you

Well here’s the whole damn truth

I’d go to Hades and back for you

I’d do anything just to see you

Or maybe hear your laugh

I’d go anywhere to be with you

The most wonderful girl in the world

 

Yeah….that’s all I got on this one, and I was told there was a very similar song in existence, so that sucks, especially with no way to record myself on video. INPUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Hair

 

When I was just sixteen

I had a crush on you

The next thing I remember

I was crying over you

 

You said you didn’t like me

That we’d only just be friends

Well I was quite reluctant

To let that be the end

 

So I wrote down this song

You said you really liked it

I said it was about you

And you became really quiet

 

Now that was the beginning

And we haven’t met our end

We just spend our whole days grinning

To hell with “just be friends”

 

Yeah, again that’s all I got for now, and I can’t tell you how long I’ve spent in front of these things writing and rewriting and never quite satisfied. So really, screw gratitude and compliments, the best gift you could give me is criticism!

 

(untitled….again)

Hair

 

You mean the world to me

And I want you to understand

So I’ve put into words

The promises I vow never to break

And I’ll do whatever it takes

To be a constant source of light

In a seemingly endless night

 

When there are bumps in your road

Then onto me you can hold

When there’s too much drama in your life

And your world if full of strife

And you want some place to hide

I’ll be there to take you by my side

To a place know only to us

 

And if it rains on your parade

You’re just so sick and tired of this charade

Then I’ll hand you an umbrella

Treat you like Cinderella

‘Cause I can’t stand to see you

 

Sad or mad or maybe

Just sick of it and crazy

Everything’s gone a little hazy

But I’ll always be there baby

to give you a blue daisey

And brighten up your day

I don’t care what anyone else might say

 

So there it is my promise to you

A promise I’ve made to none but a few

These vows I’ve never broken

We shall keep them as a token

Of the time we shared together

And that I will always remember

 

Ok, so, I personally don’t like the Cinderella line all that much, but WTF else rhymes with umbrella???? Same drill, only this time take the time and do it!

 

Yeah, I know, I sound like I freaking broken record; always singing about love and what not, and always asking for you help with my lame songs, but you’re in luck, that’s the last of them.

Some Title Options:

Song 000
Song 001

'Cause that's the way the pros do it.

J/k, good job man.

Oh my gosh, Hair...
This is going to sound silly, but if there were, like, songs you actually wrote, from feelings you actually had, I never realized we had so much in common. I love reading them!
I especially love the first and last ones... I've felt like that a lot.
I dunno about titles... I've heard 'Drunken Lament' about a song that was a total love song. Maybe urbandictionary.com something random and there you go. =]

You're really awesome, Hair. I'm glad I've gotten over my insane, immature dislike for you so I could see what a deep, funny, nice guy you really are. =]
