Name: Once Upon A Time by Hooley the Poet
Duration: 2 min 40 s
Description: This is a song in Cajun/zydeco style about getting it back after the gray hairs have set in but there is still plenty of spirit left in the tank.

This is a lyric poem made into a spirited blue grass tune that I wrote for people to play when their spirits need lifting!

Let’s Live Large Today!

This is a song about being in a relationship with somebody that turns sour and realizing what you failed to see on the way in.

A song of reflection about a life mostly past and being alone.

This is a song about what it means to be a real fighter. It’s a story told from the perspective of an Irish fighter, but it’s really an existential meditation on what it means to be a fighter to who hangs in there until the end.

The Fighter (An Irish Existential Ballad)

A song rebutting psychobabble about how I “showed up“ or failed to and what true friendship actually requires.

How I “Showed Up” (Pop Rock)

How I “Showed Up” (Pop)

Once Upon A Time

I post multiple versions of songs made from my lyric poems in different genres so those interested can follow the evolution of lyrics through their iterations in various genres.  I aspire to write lyric poetry to touch people, either to make them happy, or to touch their sadness and let them know they are not alone.
