This song belongs in a movie. It’s about a young sailor who meets a girl from a world far from his. This was the relationship that formed me artistically. It is meeting the right person at the right time to get you to where you are today.

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

ISTA STVAR

Finally it's finished. I've wrote this song one year back during a schoolproject. Part of the assignment was 'I need to confront myself that I should be proud sometimes'. As a very sober dutchy with a non traditional upbringing I used to talk myself down a lot of the times. Still to this day I find it difficult to say 'I have a feel for music'. Even with me following college in music. It is also written as a 'pick me up' song. Something nice when life is difficult. Hope you guys like it. Stay good, and be proud of yourself :-).

[Edit 17-9-22: New mic and therefor new vocals for the song]

[Edit 26-01-23 Last month I got a new laptop from my sweet brother <3 so my CPU problems are fixed :D. So new reupload. New vocals + added bass. Let me know what you think :-) ]

Masquerade - I'll Be

"Removed from Tomorrow" was influenced by female artists who inspirationally touched my life. Along with hiking daily through mother earth's beautiful forest/garden of life. There were many experiences of double rainbows, butterflies, beautiful colorful various birds, wildflowers. Magical psychedelic experiences along the way. Hope everyone enjoys my latest musical journey.

Best,

Removed From Tomorrow

Secret Magical World Below

My goodness finally. Ever since I made the base track from desires I wanted to make some lyrics for it. And after remaking everything, changing the tuning I think I got it.

Only thing that I struggle with now (maybe it's because I still use basic home equipment) is getting the vocal tracks right in volume. That was a pain in the butt. So If you guys have any tips on getting that better, I'm all ears. Maybe it will get a resung version in the future. I guess that's kinda my thing for now. Starting a project, and reshaping it once I get better/new stuff.

Anyway, enjoy the track. And have fun this summer!

[Edit 21/05/23] Replaced the file. I tuned it 1 tone down, fixed the vocals and finally I am happy!! Now the summer can begin :D

[Another edit. Highly perfectionist me wasn't happy with the vocals. + new vocal processor. Hopefully this is the last replace for now :-) ]

Cheers,
Masquerade

Masquerade - Desires

[Verse 1]
They came into my life like a sweet melody,
Two little hands reaching up just for me.
With eyes full of wonder, hearts shining so bright,
Oh, they made my world turn, they gave me my light.

[Chorus]
Oh, my child, my world, my rhythm, my rhyme,
The love that we share, it’s as old as time.
Through highs and the lows, through laughter and tears,
You’re the song in my heart that I’ll hold through the years.

[Verse 2]
I see them grow strong, like the oak in the breeze,
Yet they still call my name when they fall to their knees.
No matter how far, no matter how wide,
My love will be with them, like the moon and the tide.

[Bridge]
Storms may roll in, and the night may be long,
But they’ll always remember their mama’s song.
A whisper of jazz in the hush of the night,
"I love you, my darlings, you’ll always shine bright."

[Chorus]
Oh, my child, my world, my rhythm, my rhyme,
The love that we share, it’s as old as time.
Through highs and the lows, through laughter and tears,
You’re the song in my heart that I’ll hold through the years.

[Outro]
So when you hear a soft tune, drifting on through,
Know that it’s me, always singing for you.
No matter how time tries to take you away,
You’re my melody, my love, my jazz serenade.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, my child, my world, my rhythm, my rhyme,
The love that we share, it’s as old as time.
Through highs and the lows, through laughter and tears,
You’re the song in my heart that I’ll hold through the years.

didn’t get the invite?
cool.
they’re the ones missing out 🐍💅🏽

cold-blooded is a reminder that you’re not uncool just ‘cause someone else is cold 🍃

Cold Blooded is a power pop/indie pop anthem that came out of a moment that felt both ridiculous and real. I had a writing session the same day as a party I wasn’t invited to—thrown by people I once considered friends. I’d known about it for a while, but when the day actually came, it still stung. Instead of spiraling, I brought that energy into the studio, and the song poured out with my co-writers.

Produced by Nico Lapitino, the track is built on gritty, chugging guitars and layered with atmospheric textures. Cold Blooded balances punchy pop-rock energy with space to feel—it captures that blend of empowerment and vulnerability, feeling hurt but choosing to own it with confidence and bite.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been iced out, betrayed, or underestimated—and came back stronger. A reminder that your time, presence, and loyalty are valuable. And anyone who doesn’t see that? Their loss.

Leaving Humanities Final Words. 

When Great Music Isn’t Heard
Then Everybody Loses.

Imagination causes Creation
Through Vibration.

Music is a Force for Creation

Banding Musicians Together Today

The Last Human Songwriters 

How sad to realize that we are in the last days of the human race. Meaning the final Composers, Artist & Performer are currently on this planet. Ai will be responsible for all the muzak within five years. They are weaning emotions out of music. 

We are humanity’s last breath. Let’s remind them future trans humans of what they lost. If they are ever allowed to hear it at all. We need to leave our Mark! 

My name is Dave Hanrahan. I was born and raised in Watertown, Massachusetts. I was the only son in a family of four children. At 7 years old my father was killed. I was the only son and now I would navigate my life rudderless. An alien in the house of estrogen. It was the weekend the Beatles played Ed Sullivan, February 9, 1964. Thus tying my life to theirs. Instant male role models. 

At 20, I was serving in the Navy. I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island, Wa. In 1976. When I was heading into my barracks I heard someone playing Hotel California across from me. I met my mentor that day, Terry Walters. I bought a Yamaha 6 string acoustic guitar and one music book. The Beatles Compleat. I practice for hours upon hours. After a few months I wanted to try writing. On my first attempt I wrote 3 songs.  I believe I found patterns in playing only the Beatles for those first few years. I was off and running. 

I am a singer/songwriter from a different era. I had written close to 80 songs when I laid everything down to become a husband and a father in 1989. I laid it down because I desired a family more then anything in life, certainly more then fame.  My Guitar I had written the majority of those songs on was stolen and I walked away. 

In November of 2019, I unpacked my instruments after a 30 year hiatus. I bought a Taylor 12 String and began to earn my calluses. I wasn't certain if I could even recall the chords to most of my music. It was all in my head. I can't read or write a note to this day. Muscle memory I was happy to find is a fact even after 30 years. My musician friend Dean when I told him my 1977 Giannini Craviola 12 String got stolen in 1987. He asked me if I checked eBay. This is 32 years later. That is a rare guitar. I went on eBay that day and found it. It was my serial number. 

I began practicing countless hours a day for about six weeks when suddenly, a song popped into my head. It was in a style that even I was unfamiliar with. My Giannini and I picked up where We left off. Then Covid gave me more time to practice. I haven't stopped writing since that day just over three and a half years ago. I have well over 50 more songs to produce to ensure my entire catalog has been recorded. I have that many on my page for all to hear now for free.

 Vision 👀
To create a new Music Industry run and operated by Human Artists only. I am a Life Path 1, so have no doubt I will get it done or it’s artificial intelligence soulless Muzak for everybody. New artist are being ignored. This is by design. Music comes from the heart. Filled with emotions which A. I. The heartless, soulless machine with never be able to produce. Music is a force of creation given by The Creator. The Authentic Intelligence God. 

I am here to do a job, At my juncture in life I hope it obvious it isn’t for the fame and fortune. We are musicians and artists first and foremost. We are those who help steer the collective consciousness. I picked up this mantle in December of 1980. The night I wrote ‘Dear John’. 

Music is a force for creation.
