Song For Youz!

I was told to write someone a song to make them happy, because they have been upset lately.  Here comes a couple of freestyled lines of me attempting to serenade an unnamed woman..   haha hope you like it.

Things like this shouldn't get you down
Cause you're the best looking girl in the whole damn town.
I see you every day with that smile so bright
And a laugh that makes any day go from dark to light.
So just remember these things i say
That can help a girl like you get through the day.


CHORUS(?)
You've got friends like me to help you deal with this shit.
So theres no need to get upset and cry over it.
We all got your back, so please don't fret
It all gets better, yeah i'd take that bet.
*And no need to tweet about it or even get sad
Because when it comes to venting, you know i'd be glad
To hear every word about a him or a her
And come and help you through it without even a stir.

Freestyle lyrics

Went to a show last night.  And now all i want to do is be in a band.  so here it goes

Can someone please exlplain to me
Where the the last few years have gone
Can you tell me i'm right.
When I've got a future in my sight
All this bullshit building up in me
Is getting much more easy to see
As these days go by and i try so hard
To be the man you want me to be
But things get tough and i start to lose sight
When shit goes wrong and money is tight
she tells me I've got so much left in life to do
so tell me what the hell is wrong with you

I am tired of the life as a teen
Not being the one, so im stuck in between
Because there isnt much i can say in a song
to even put my feelings where they belong
Its nights like these that I get so upset
That she is around, but we just havent met.



ugh.   goodnight.

Song Lyrics 2

Another song written in the cafeteria of general mclane high school.  This one is very rough.  Lines need added and some need changed.

Song: Sorry, My Name's Not Romeo

Verse 1
I gave you the world, then you asked for
the stars
You said forever and always; even near
or far
But i've learned one thing about you
that nothing you say will ever be true

Pre-chorus
But I think that you shouldn't ever leave
me.
We should run away, with the world to
see.
But you've got other plans with God
knows who
Maybe it's time that i finally say
to you

Chorus
That I am tired of you lying
And i am tired of trying day by day
*I'm breaking my back just to make you
smile
Yeah you only notice every once and a
while
I really cant take much more of this
pain
You'd put a knife in my back if it
means that you'd gain
*I can't get through the day without you
on my mind
A girl who really cares, you know
its hard to find
I need to move on and get rid of
this shame
Forgive and forget, you know its just
not the same.

Verse 2
I keep telling myself that this isnt true
That you wouldnt build me up just to
drop me off in the blue.
But i'm trying so hard just to get
through the night.
With you on my mind, I'm just one big
internal fight.

Pre-chorus 2
I got this angel on my shoulder telling
me to get away from you
But the demon on the other makes it
all sound so true.
But you've got plans with God knows
who
Maybe its time that i FUCKING say to
you.

Chorus


(The rest is still a work in progress)


Feedback!  Thanks!

Song Lyrics 1

So if you are ever peering into a classroom in General McLane High School, and you see me leaning back in my chair, armed with a death stare directed at my phone, it probably means I am way too emotionally overwhelmed with myself to focus on class, and I am simply writing lyrics for potential songs into my phone.  Well, I finally decided to share them with you.  In no way do i think they are good.  They may not flow well to you, but to me they do with a tune that i wrote them too.  So here goes nothing. 

First Song:  Take it Or Leave It.

Verse:
I swear to God I wont let this get to me
And if i can help it, i'll keep my mouth shut
But I wont stop, and i'll never tell of us
I can't help but wonder if this is another
temporary rush that ends in weeks
You said you want it, but also
you want him too
So should I wait around or should
I just move on through

Chorus
I cannot take this any longer
Even if I do, you know I wont get any stronger
These things you say to get me through the day
Are they real or not? I wish you'd stop
these games we play
////////
And i cannot shake this pain that you've caused
And even if i do, i'll always be thinking of you
These bullshit attempts at making
nice wont get me through
Are you real or not? I wish you'd
stop these fucking games
'Cause I cant take it anymore

Verse 2
I swear to God that i will move past you
Those stupid laughs and antics that you do
You always talk of how much that you
"truly care", but how am I supposed to
believe it when all i can get is a glare
Its fucking bullshit when you say we are
meant to be
But i can't argue, so i guess i'll just agree

CHORUS AGAIN

Bridge
And I have tried.  Every method of coping
with these ongoing feelings I have
But all I've got are these shitty lyrics that
I've attempted to write for you
So if you've really moved on from the
life that we had
Then I wont expect you to care when I
am loving my life with her.


I'd love to hear what you think.  Don't be mean, but be honest.  They need work.

Time flies

One year ago today, February 10, 2011, the world lost a great man. My idol, my friend, and most of all, my grandfather. He was easily the greatest man that i have ever met. I will never forget learning how to fish with you every year at Cook's Forest. Taking walks with you in the woods behind your house. So many memories. But all I can do now is reminisce on the past and look forward to seeing you in heaven.

My grandfather lived in Oil City, and was into the OC's high school sports. He always told me that he didnt care if General McLane beat Oil City, he just wanted us to beat Franklin more than anything in the world. So, in October, when i discovered that our District 10 semi final game would be in Franklin, I told my grandma, so she could come see me play soccer for the first time, because oil city is about 10 minutes from Franklin. I was so excited to play and to see her. When we stepped lnto the field, the very first thing i did was go to the big "F" in the center of the Franklin field, spit right in the center of it, got a huge smile on my face and pointed up to my grandpa in heaven and walked away. Later in the game, i got the ball and came down the left side of the field. As i approached the goal, i saw a teammate coming down the other side, so I figured I would try and get him the ball. So, i popped the ball up in the air, aiming for right in front of the post on the far side. But somehow, the ball curved in towards the goal, hit the post in the very top right corner of the goal, and went into the net. This ended up being the only goal of the game, sending the General McLane boys soccer team to its first district 10 championship game in a decade. I am not one to talk about ghosts or to usually think that things like this happen, but I am almost certain that my Grandpa put that ball in that net. He had to. No ball curves that way, and i never shoot that well. So all i can say is thank you Grandpa for not just sending us to our district 10 championship, but for everything you have taught me, given me, or done for me. This past year has definately not been the same. I miss you so much. Just like you always said to me and my brothers, everytime we left your house, all i can say is "be cool" up in heaven and keep a warm place for us when we can come see you again. I love you grandpa.

"I'll never forget the day that my
Heart fell from my chest.
It was the moment that I
Said goodbye and
I layed your body to rest
I'll never take this life for granted
Im living it for two
And since you're always the one that sang the songs,
Im singing this one for you."

Song of the Day:  what do you think?

Looking into the crystal ball.

So for those of you who don't know, I am going to Edinboro University next year.  And I am planning on getting an apartment!  which excites me quite a bit.  i cannot wait to have my own place where i can hang out with whoever i want, whenever i want.  The only thing that sucks is that i will not have a car so i will have to walk absolutely everywhere i go.  For college, i am completely undecided on my major.  Right now, i think that i would like to go into Elementary Education because i absolutely love kids.  but my idea  of what is "right" for me changes monthly.  I would really like to take advantage of my musical talent, but I dont want to be out of college for 4 years, still looking for a job.  I really cannot decide what I want to do.  I have thought about trying to walk on Edinboro's football team, just to see what happens.  i dont think i'd make it, but i think it would be a good experience because i have always wanted to play.  idk.  Right now, i am sitting in a dark room, on my laptop, blogging about jack shit.  Welcome to the Life of Dan McClune.  haha.  someone told me to blog about food yesterday so here's a mini little snippit about food:  I actually just got back from buffalo wild wings.  easily my favorite resteraunt, next to texas roadhouse.  My favorite is the Parmesian Garlic (aka PARGAR) boneless wings.  SOOOO GOOD.  i ate 18 tonight with an order of fries and a shitton of carrots.  Kay.  food rant over.  One thing i honestly get excited at the thought of is having children.  I'm not some creep that wants to have kids at the age of 17, but i mean i really cant wait to get older, get married, and have a family.  I would like to have 2 or 3 children, i would prefer 2 boys and a girl.   If I had a child today, I would name him Oakley Peter McClune.  I have always though Oakley would be a cool name, and Peter was my grandfather's middle name.   I havent decided on a girls name, but i have always liked "Sydney".  haha im so weird.  Well, its only 9:30 and i've run outta things to do for the night.  Probably includes some popcorn, an episode of Always Sunny, and some ukelele time.  ahhh.    Also, I decided that I am for sure trying out for Riff and maybe Tony for West Side Story.  Should be a good time.  :)  Comment!
