This is a playlist for songs I've written that sound more pop-y than rock-y

Pop-ish Stuff

A song about how people will remember when you're gone.

Lyrics:

I hope that on my epitaph
It says that I wasn't so bad
I only wanted love 
And sometimes I gave it away

I hope that on my gravestone
They say I made myself at home
But never overstayed my welcome
And only ever smiled


[To whomever writes my epitaph
I ask that you go easy on 
This man and his mistakes
And ill gotten gains]

[Whomever writes my epitaph
I ask that you go easy on me
And only write of the man 
I tried to be]

I hope that when I'm dead and gone
My loved ones will try to move on
No lingering on my memory
No waiting for my encore

I hope that in a week or so
They've all forgotten me, although
Some vague remnants remains
Somewhere deep inside

[Whomever writes my epitaph
I ask that you go easy on 
This man and his mistakes
And ill gotten gains]

[Whomever writes my epitaph
I ask that you go easy on me
And only write of the man 
I tried to be]


That im thought of once a year
Will keep me satisfied 
And save my soul from damnation
While I'm on the otherside

And when they think upon my past
Ill try my best to make it last
And spook them now and then
Or help them on a whim


What on Earth?

This song is about carrying on for the people around you when you wouldn't do it for yourself.



Lyrics:

I'm trying to keep living as a favour to a friend
To feel I'm needed is to give my life some meaning
My heart has lost its fire to continue to exist
But I've been asked to stay, so embers just persist 

I'm trying to keep living as a favour to a friend,
Just as I saw my journey coming to an end,
Maybe that's all I needed to push through,
Just someone to say 'stick around, I need you'.


You asked me and I promised you 
I never break a vow
I'll be here if you need me to 
My word is worth the world

Just release me when 
you're done and then
I'll go back to the ground
And close my eyes 
To afterlife 
I won't stick around

I'm trying to keep living as a favour to a friend
I don't know when or where or how or why my life will end
but I know that I got much more than I ever deserved
And now someone who loves me has more of my time reserved

Living as a Favour to a Friend (DEMO)

A song about failing to find love so hard, that it's like Love's declared war against you.
To my darling wife: this song is not based on a true story.
