this is great. we all know this feeling. “The one that got away” 💔 usually better left as a fantasy

Sunshine of love

I put new strings on my Brother's Yamaha FG 180 (Bought in 1968) and wrote this little tune on it! The Guitar is a Dreadnought with a really big sound! Lisa McGlinn then added a stunning Flute Track!

🔻 Lost Fantasy – Song Insight
Not every loss is sudden—some are slow, drawn-out disappearances. Lost Fantasy is about watching someone slip away, powerless to stop it. It’s the devastation of loving someone who no longer sees reality, who trades everything for a high, leaving you behind in the wreckage.

This song isn’t just about heartbreak—it’s about disbelief. That moment when you realize they were never really looking at you, only past you. It’s about mourning someone who’s still alive but no longer the person you knew.

They chose their path. They chose the escape. And now, all that’s left is a fading memory.

🔻 Lost Fantasy – Lyrics
Verse 1
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, but now you're gone and threw it all away.
Your body's aching all the time, you're feeling like you just want to die."

Chorus
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Verse 2
"Remember the nights, we held each other tight.
Now it's all gone, you're lost in the blinding light.
You chased the high, left everything behind.
Our love was real, but you were too blind."

Chorus
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Bridge
"So many nights I cried, hoping you'd come back to me.
But the man I loved is lost, gone with the memories.
You were my everything, now you're just a ghost.
Haunting my dreams, breaking me the most."

Chorus (Reprise)
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Outro
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
You were my everything, now you're just a memory.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
You were my everything, now you're just a memory."

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This isn’t just a song—it’s an epitaph for the love that never stood a chance.

4Me2BeFree doesn’t just create music; they carve out raw emotions and lay them bare. Lost Fantasy isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about regret, about the ache of seeing someone spiral while you scream into the void.

Their music doesn’t just tell a story—it feels like one. A story of loss, of longing, and of finally realizing… some people never wanted to be saved.

They slipped away. And now, they’re nothing more than a lost fantasy. 🔥

"Lost Fantasy (Alternate Version)"

When love is real, it doesn't run — and it doesn't hide.

"There Ain’t No Run and Hide" is a modern country duet built on truth, conflict, and commitment. One person is scarred by the past. The other is full of light and faith in the future. What happens when they meet in the middle? This is that moment — raw, honest, and full of heart.

This isn’t heartbreak. It’s the sound of staying. Jonesy200 brings a Bro Country-inspired emotional story where love is loud, loyalty matters, and walking away is not on the table. The contrast between the tough male lead and the hopeful female voice makes this a standout country duet with a message: real love fights.

🔥 Play it loud if you’re still fighting for something that matters.

Lyrics
There Ain't No Run and Hide

I really don't know how you do it
You put up with me, I’m always thinking of the past, don’t get it
Love is something that has burned me before
God damn, there you are, there is no flaw
I want to pick myself up off the floor
You deserve so much better, I just don’t get it

I hide, should be better
I love life, you can be fun

I think of the past, should have a mask
I love our life in the country, we thrive

I know you love me, it keeps me alive
There ain’t no run and hide

When we're together, it’s day by day
You're stronger than you think, I know it
You think you’re a misery, but I know better
Your love shines through in so many ways
As time goes on, I’ll forget the past, no doubt this love will last
You say you’re no good, but you’re wrong
I see a man still worth coming home to

I hide, should be better
I love life, you can be fun
I think of the past, should have a mask
I love our life in the country, we thrive

I know you love me, it keeps me alive
There ain’t no run and hide

Maybe I’m tired of playing tough
Maybe I’m tired of calling your bluff
What if I met you halfway, no lies?
Then I’d pull over, and let love drive

Life is a mystery, but one thing’s sure
There’s no other place I want to be
We’ll work it out together, we’ll always be
There ain’t no run and hide, we’ll be together

I hide, should be better
I love life, you can be fun
I think of the past, should have a mask
I love our life in the country, we thrive

I know you love me, it keeps me alive
There ain’t no run and hide

Keywords
pick myself up, you deserve better, I hide, I love life, think of the past, our life in the country, keeps me alive, no run and hide, you’re no good, coming home to, playing tough, calling your bluff, meet you halfway, let love drive, work it out together

There Ain't No Run and Hide

There Ain’t No Run and Hide – A Country Love Song That Won’t Let Go

Forever Greater (Alternate Version)

You Left Me

CRY YOUR SONG

Have had a writing holiday, with no musical acoutrements whatsoever. Having posted a poem set to music yesterday, I decided that today I would write a song. Maybe not my best but had found a new "method" for writing lyrics; and used it to produce this song. A quiet and melodic song this time, hope you like it.

Our Love's An Illusion

This song was inspired by the absolute gem of a song by Nova J - Middle Age
(https://soundcloud.com/nova-j-49914957/middle-age)

SOMEDAY:

I missed your call again last night
Left the room lit, said I might
Be back before the morning fell—
But time runs fast when minds dwell

I skipped the party, skipped the rain
Traded home for  the midnight train
Said, “Someday this will mean a lot”—
But someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind

I learned to keep my suitcase near
To say goodbye without the tears
Wrote your name inside a song
Then left before you sang along

I used to dance with both my shoes
Now I move not to lose
Said, “Someday this will mean a lot”—
But someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind

Oh, the calls I didn’t take
The friends I didn’t make
The hands I didn’t hold
For stories never told

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
Someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got
I leave it all behind

Someday

That way

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.
