Fun Pop Rock song about guy who is with a girl who pulls all the strings, but he doesn't care as long as she wants to be with him. 


Lyrics:

As Long As I Have You 
(c) 2024   Gary Randman

[Chorus]
I don't care if the world thinks
You got me hanging by a string
And I don't care if you use me
You can spend all my money
I don't care, as long as I have you
And I don't mind, as long as I have you


[Verse 1]
You say want to find yourself, I'm on your side
Trying all the latest craze, to me that's fine
My heart rules the way and my mind just obeys
Babe you're the one for me 

[Chorus]
I don't care if the world thinks
You got me hanging by a string
And I don't care if you use me
You can spend all my money
I don't care, as long as I have you
And I don't mind, as long as I have you

[Verse 2]
You go and buy the stylish clothes, I won't deny
Hanging with your friends all day,  I'll let it slide
Don't care what they say and my feelings won't change
Babe you're the one for me

[Chorus]
I don't care if the world thinks
You got me hanging by a string
And I don't care if you use me
You can spend all my money
I don't care, as long as I have you
And I don't mind, as long as I have you

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
You want to sleep til late, hey that's alright
Staying in the house all day,  I will abide
Won't ask you to change,  cause your love's what I crave
Babe you're the one for me

[Chorus]
I don't care if the world thinks
You got me hanging by a string
And I don't care if you use me
You can spend all my money
I don't care, as long as I have you
And I don't mind, as long as I have you
and I won't care, as long as I have you

As Long As I Have You [Rough Demo]

Play the act long enough, you’ll start to write your own script.

I've been writing songs as a hobby for many years while I raised a family but I'm now looking to take the songwriting to the next level.  I grew up with the Classic Rock of the 60's & 70's and the 80's music scenes.  Hard to find a similar artist to my songs but it is in the Pop, Rock genres.  I believe the songs have good potential and are something different and original from what you hear today. Take a listen to my various demos and let me know what you think.  I'm looking for a creative producer who enjoys what he hears and would be interested to take this music to a new level to grow a fan base and/or share with an artist.

Please click on Follow as I will be adding more tracks over time.

Composer, instrumentalist, and producer from Berlin. I like all sorts of music, from pure noise like Stockhausen over pop/rock/hip-hop to classical music (with Bach being a favorite composer). I live in a universe of frequencies - everything is a waveform, and often those waves are sound discernible to humans. I prefer female voices - I wish I had one myself. :-) Physical instruments I play include piano, violin, mandolin, and guitar, but mostly I create music by pressing buttons.

Auteur-compositeur de chansons françaises qui n'attendent que de bons interprètes. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 132 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.
Membre SACEM

Author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 132 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.
