Having recently played "judge" in the competition (and hats off once more to all those who competed!)
I decided to see what some of my lyrics garner for feedback.
No audio - I won't punish you with my voice . . .
The Day
by David Wagle
The day that you left
came around again
It's that time of year
Not feeling bereft
saw 12 Angry Men
Had myself a beer
I'm beginning to see the sun rise
I'm beginning to see the blue skies
I'm beginning to feel some new highs
and I don't feel guilty at all
The day that we met
came around again
It's that time of year
Not feeling upset
saw Of Mice and Men
had another beer
I'm wanting to see the sun rise
I'm wanting to see the blue skies
I'm wanting to feel some new highs
and I hardly feel guilty at all
The day that I lied
came around again
It's that time of year
I'm feelin' set aside
I'm watchin' CNN
there's not enough beer
I know I won't see the sun rise
I know I won't see the blue skies
I know I won't feel some new highs
'cause guilt is all I feel
why me!
you know I never meant it.
Why me!
you know that I regret it.
Why!
I know that I deserve this.
The day that I died
Came around again.
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." -- HST
