Right, so there was this girl. And we kept ALMOST going out. But I'd always end up with someone else. And I was unintentionally screwing her round, and she really really liked me.

Then I went to uni and she stayed at school. then I was her in this play and she's the most amazing actress. I mean, seriously. so I was gutted - needless to say - and came home and wrote this song aobut what it'd be like if I ended up seeing her in the movies while i worked as like, a cashier at a pizza hut. Ha.

Anyway, bad quality (as you've come to learn from my additions to the musical world) and I had a cold when it was recorded. Also I make loads of mistakes. But I've given up caring.

VERSE 1:

Silence in the darkness of the theatre,
Everyone's watching your mouth move.
When did you disappear?
Speak in a whisper, "I knew her once, before she was here..."

CHORUS:

All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happiuer then before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.

VERSE 2:

Remember the days when a photograph was a photograph?
Not a piece of production to increase the suction of age-demographs.
I remember a scene where your face could be seen in person not magazines,
Am I wrong to miss you? And I being Naive?

CHORUS:

All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happier than before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.


It's a little more upbeat than some of my others.

Given up caring, somehow I doubt that! 

A really nice song again - and yes, ok, lousy quality recording (with some very interesting sounds in the background!)

Lovely lyrics, very well sung with loads of feeling and intent.

Don't stop writing and posting - but do get a better recording set-up!

i love the emotional intensity of your voice

it moves 'around' in the song really well

your composition works well with the lyric content............................ok its a bit sad and the piano sounds distant...............but hey it works---- especially the unresolved end

well done i like mellow moments like this

thank you

Wow, this is very powerful, touching song. I bet if she happened upon this song, she would think so too.

Maybe you should have told her you wrote a song about her... or dropped an anyonomous note with the site in her locker
   I'm sorry things didn't work out.
