Another World

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Waiting is the second successful collaboration between UK composer, musician and producer, Noobly, and singer/songwriter, Todd J McLean. Waiting offers a glimpse inside the mind of a daily commuter who has developed feelings for a fellow train rider, but he just hasn't got up the nerve to make the first move (yet). Waiting is an unabashedly fun rocker, so enjoy!

Waiting

Morning again, you hop on the train
Workday begins, more of the same
Look my way, catch me staring
Flash me a smile, scope what I’m wearing
But I don’t have the courage, to talk to you
Do you have a boyfriend? Wish I knew
Got no game, I’m frozen stiff
Waiting for love - opportunity missed

Do you even see me (I’m here waiting for you)
Standing in the corner (I’m here waiting for you)
Can’t stop dreaming (I’m here waiting for you)
Need to make it happen
Waiting in love with you
Waiting in love with you
Waiting in love with you
Waiting in love with you

That older man who drops you off each day
Prolly your daddy, I like to say
And that tiny handprint on the back of your coat
tells me that maybe me you gotta little kid at home
Outside chance that someone just like you
Is free as bird and might want me too
I wait on this train, day after day
With love in my heart and nothing to say

Repeat Chorus

Waiting

A fleeting moment that changes everything. This is a remastered repost of the original 2024 release.

* * *

I saw you in the rain
and the world stands still
Your smile
Your eyes
We were one
in that second
for eternity
for a thousand words
and a thousand dreams

The rain kept falling
soft and clear
We are lost in time
and had everything
But the moment passes
and leaves behind
a dream of you

That second

🔻 Song Insight

Glass is a slow-burning grunge ballad wrapped in fragility and fracture. The song traces the hollowness of someone who uses addiction and illusion as control, building a kingdom out of smoke and shards. At its core, it’s about watching a person collapse under their own lies, propped up only by the drugs they wield — a false empire that eventually shatters. The chorus lingers like a curse: the wish that they sleep awake, forever haunted by what they’ve done.

🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know the truth
And so do you
Hidden eyes
Kept inside
For every lie

[Chorus]
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Verse 2]
Fake candied lies
The nothingness you hide
We know your truth inside
Facing facts, you already died

[Chorus] (Repeat)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Bridge]
Secrets breathing through teeth
Chatter leeches, hope in retreat
Blood-whipped brow, soaked lies unfold
Your glass empire shatters cold

[Verse 3]
Eyes see past your every try
Cold road, you show, take hold
Slipping doses of glass inside
Molding boys as toys to hide

[Chorus] (Extended)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound
Nothing holding, illusion sold
Your glass will break, your grip will fold

[Outro]
Shards cut the hand that feeds
Nothing left but need
Glass in your veins, glass in your crown
When it breaks, you drown

🔻 Personal Reflection

Glass was written from a place of raw confrontation. It came from witnessing someone who defined themselves not by who they were, but by what they could control — and the drugs that gave them that control. Every false promise, every hollow mask, every manipulative move was held together with shards of glass. Without it, there was nothing left. This song is both a release and a reckoning — an acknowledgment that truth cuts sharper than any high.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

This track continues 4Me2BeFree’s mission of turning real pain into cinematic storytelling. Glass is both intimate and confrontational, a snapshot of betrayal and collapse captured in grunge minimalism. Like all 4Me2BeFree songs, it uses sound as a mirror — reflecting lived experiences, giving voice to what’s hard to say out loud, and creating a space where others can find recognition in the fragments of their own stories.

Glass - Fractures: Reimagined by 4ME2BEFREE

🔻 Song Insight – “Inside” by 4Me2BeFree
“Inside” is a haunting descent into the spaces we rarely let others see — a cinematic confession layered with heat, hesitation, and hard-won vulnerability. Set against the backdrop of dark analog synths and Stranger Things-style ambiance, the track balances erotic energy with emotional weight. It’s not just about desire — it’s about what happens when connection breaks past skin and touches memory, shame, and need.

Built on a mid-tempo rhythm that simmers rather than explodes, “Inside” pulls you through a series of internal awakenings. Each verse peels away another layer of armor. Each chorus dares to ask: Can I survive being truly seen?

With its deep male vocals, breathy echoes, and moments of sonic distortion, this track delivers not just sound — but sensation.

[Opening]
I feel it rising—my mind is set
Tension builds where we find no rest
You come close, and I lose control
Heat in my blood, deep in your soul

[Verse 1]
My clothes don’t fit when you’re near
Lose my sight to the things I’d hear
You trace my curve with every touch
Softest tongue—I feel too much
I try to pull back, but I’m too far gone
Hardest hour, still holding on

[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes look up—silent, understood
You don’t ask, but you know you should
My love comes running, I’m ready to go
*Dripping desire—can’t stop the flow*

[Chorus]
Keep me alive—don’t let it die
Be brave, hold it tight
You’re not shy, not tonight
Don’t let go—it’s part of your show

[Climactic Chorus]
You want my liquid love to thrive
A precious seed, a need you feed inside
I don’t care about the words, just the ride
That place, that escape…

[Verse 2]
Mouth caught on my nerve, you devour
I’m undone in the midnight hour
I taste myself with every kiss
Trapped in your ache, can’t resist
Alone, I hear you in my mind
You freed a part I couldn’t hide

[Bridge]
You bit your lip, smacked my ass
You made me gasp with every thrash
Forget the past, just let it slide
No shame here—just the ride inside

[Chorus]
Keep me alive—don’t let it die
Be brave, hold it tight
You’re not shy, not tonight
Don’t let go—it’s part of your show

[Climactic Chorus]
You want my liquid love to thrive
A precious seed, a need you feed inside
I don’t care about the words, just the ride
That place, that escape…

[Outro]
That place, that escape
That ride inside
No words, no shame
Just me alive

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song came from a place I wasn’t sure I’d ever let music touch. It’s about sex, yes — but more than that, it’s about intimacy colliding with memory, and how desire can either heal or haunt. I’ve been with people who saw my body but didn’t see me, and I’ve also known the kind of connection that’s terrifying because it does.

“Inside” was born out of that collision — physical, emotional, and spiritual. It speaks to the aftermath of trauma, the ache of needing to be accepted, and the risk of letting someone in fully when parts of you still feel unsafe or unloved.

Recording this was strange at first — I had to step into that vulnerability vocally, not just lyrically. I wanted the track to breathe, to burn, and to blur — like a fever dream you remember through someone else’s scent.

This isn’t just eroticism — it’s reclamation.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This track is a perfect example of what 4Me2BeFree is becoming: a sound that fuses personal liberation with cinematic emotion. Whether it’s heartbreak, sensuality, or quiet rage — every song is a mirror, curved by feeling, wrapped in texture, and grounded in lived truth.

We don’t do music as performance. We do music as memory — scored with synths, scars, and survival.

Inside - Halloween 25 Club Version

🔻 Song Insight

“It’s Hamptons, sweetie” is a theatrical collision of survival scars and biting satire. The song begins in raw, stripped acoustic vulnerability, recounting the nights of hiding from abuse, then swerves sharply into plastic, sugary parody — mocking the shallow wealth culture of the Hamptons with smug, valley-prep sarcasm. What starts as pain turns into performance, flipping trauma into wit. It’s both funny and stinging, a sonic double-take that forces listeners to confront how fake privilege masks real suffering.

🔻 Lyrics

[Intro]
It was only a shell, not a home
Nothing there to belong to
Nothing that was my own
It was made clear to whom I belonged

[Verse 1]
Seeing castles you lived
Static plastic, nothing real
I didn’t see the appeal
I should have learned to heel

Vineyards ran at night
Captured by the moon’s light
Searching for a place to hide
Looking to just survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Who don’t I call, a thousand miles from home
It’s me, not grateful for what you’ve done
Fighting for my kids, questions never asked
Paying ways when it’s just another playdate,
and you brought the script

[Chorus]
If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt
Pain’s the proof that I’m alive
Honesty is the best way to be
No more lies, no more disguise

[Verse 2 – Plastic Pop Vocals + Cheer Shouts]
You’re saying it wrong, sweetie!
Oh look, there’s Madonna
Is that Jerry Seinfeld?
Hey Oprah, don’t you know her?
It’s the Haaaamptons, ham and tons of cash
Sticky sweet you can’t unsee
Beaches for miles, judgmental eyes
It’s Hamptons, sweetie—it’s for your besties!

Sipping champagne, pumped up on cocaine
Money walks tall, fences grow higher
Don’t mention the natives—casinos never close
Daddy’s got the chopper, isn’t that fair?

[Bridge – Acoustic Emo Vocals]
Wash my eyes with bleach
Why can’t I ever unsee this shit?
You had me thinking this was life
But it’s sanitized insanity
With a sticker: “Whites only, please.”

[Chorus – Anthemic]
If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt
Pain’s the proof that I’m alive
Honesty is the best way to be
No more lies, no more disguise

[Outro]
I can’t scrape this shit from my shoe
What did I ever see in you?
Defined by money that’s not even yours
For every dollar you had, it’s another thing you lacked

So here I am without a dime
But richer than you all—still being kind
I’m not a prick, a bitch, or a spoiled little twat
Here I am, speaking free
Because honesty is the best way to be

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song was born from two extremes of my life: the nights of hiding from an abusive marriage, and the bizarre aftermath of walking through the Hamptons the next day, shown mansions belonging to Madonna and Oprah. The contrast was absurd, surreal, and infuriating — pain pressed against privilege. “It’s Hamptons, sweetie” became my way of telling that story with teeth, transforming survival into satire.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

As with all 4ME2BEFREE tracks, this song transforms lived experience into cinematic sound. Theatrical in structure, raw in honesty, and sarcastic in bite, it reflects the band’s vision of music as both diary and stage play. 4ME2BEFREE captures the absurdity of real life — pain, humor, irony, and truth — and channels it into soundscapes that let listeners both feel and reflect.

It’s Hamptons, Sweetie

Song Insight – “Daddy” by 4Me2BeFree
🔻 Song Insight

"Daddy" is a satirical, Broadway-inspired anthem that turns taboo upside down and shines a spotlight on society’s reflexive panic over anything nonconforming. With campy theatricality and a wink, it mocks the labels and projections people use to pathologize queer love and playful kink. Beneath the laughter, it’s about claiming your story, refusing to let shame dictate your narrative, and finding power in radical honesty—even when others want to debate or deny your truth. "Daddy" turns the mirror back on the audience, daring them to confront their own assumptions with a smile.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]  
I love the way you say my name  
The plans you make and never stake  
Factual statements left unfinished  
Nothing here worth debating

[Verse 1]  
There’s no mistakes  
You don’t hesitate  
You locked me down—  
By your bond, I stay

[Chorus]  
In the bedroom, I’m Daddy  
Not a confused confession  
Not adolescent obsession  
Not psychological suppression  
No father-complex regression  
Definitely not depression  
Just a matter-of-fact, maybe role-play fiction

[Verse 2]  
He set boundaries—I broke in  
His mother’s screaming, “This is nothing but sin!”  
His dad’s in the corner, just sipping his cup  
But I came in swinging—ain’t giving up

[Chorus]  
In the bedroom, I’m Daddy  
Not a confused confession  
Not adolescent obsession  
Not psychological suppression  
No fatherly regression  
Definitely not depression  
Just a matter-of-fact, or playful fiction

[Bridge]  
No Bonnie and Clyde, we’re not gonna die  
It’s just a way of life—no need to hide  
Filling the gap where others had doubt  
Loving the love, never backing out

[Chorus]  
In the bedroom, I’m Daddy  
Not a confused confession  
Not adolescent obsession  
Not psychological suppression  
No fatherly regression  
Definitely not depression  
Just a matter-of-fact, or playful fiction

[Outro]  
So next time you hear my name,  
Turn around—it might not sound the same  
A naughty neighbor, your babysitter  
Or, who knows, your kid sister  
Give it a break—don’t break it down  
None of this will infiltrate your town  
We’re already here, and it’s not just the queers  
From Mulberry to Mayberry, we’re on every street  
So sleep tight, Daddy—have a good night

🔻 Personal Reflection

"Daddy" started as a tongue-in-cheek riff on how society overreacts to queer love and playful role-play, always looking for something to “fix” or fear. For me, the real story is about refusing to apologize for joy, connection, or humor that doesn’t fit someone else’s comfort zone. The song is a shield and a dare—a way of saying, “This is me, take it or leave it.” In a world where even laughter gets policed, sometimes the bravest thing you can do is laugh louder.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

At its heart, 4Me2BeFree exists to turn lived experience—joy, struggle, love, and rebellion—into cinematic stories that resonate. "Daddy" embodies our mission: transform shame into power, stigma into theater, and pain into pride. We believe music should challenge, comfort, and disrupt all at once. If a song makes you question what’s “normal,” then it’s doing its job. Our sound isn’t just queer—it’s unapologetically human.

Daddy Issues

🔻 Song Insight
“The Way You Say My Name” is a confessional campfire ballad that glows with both tenderness and desire. Built around a raw nylon-string guitar and a close-mic’d, unfiltered vocal, the track drops you straight into a world of whispered secrets, soft laughter, and quiet vulnerability. The lyrics explore the thrill of new love—every gentle tease, every longing glance, and the subtle electricity of being truly seen. This song isn’t just about romance, but about the deep comfort and excitement of being wanted for exactly who you are. It’s warm, a little daring, and all heart.

🔻 Lyrics

[Intro]
[instrumental]

[Verse 1]  
Skin untouched, left exposed  
Candles burned out long ago  
Laying your head on my pillow  
Finding out the unknowns  

Lips quiver, but you’re not cold  
Everything happens down below  
Seeing blind and hearing deaf  
The part of you I won’t forget  

[Chorus]  
I love the way you say my name  
And the sounds that come after  
If these bedroom walls could talk  
You and me would be locked up tight tonight  

[Verse 2]  
Your words foreign and unknown  
Still they take me somewhere like home  
I reach out, touching waves  
A spectrum of your energy I crave  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Night falls on open eyes  
Images and memories flashing by  
It's you and me as we smile  
Drinking perfection for a while  

[Bridge]  
I trace your lips, outline words you said  
Your brow, your nose, your perfect toes  
Golden threads, the hairs entwine  
All of you—forever mine  

[Breakdown]  
I pull you in, you bite my lip  
You pull back, then pounce for the attack  
Holding you down, I’m kissing down your back  
These parts of us, brand new tracks  

[Outro]  
As nights turned into days  
Months began to fade  
A timeless loop, the love we held  
The forever love we felt  


🔻 Personal Reflection
Sometimes a single phrase can capture everything—longing, comfort, excitement, even a little mischief. “The Way You Say My Name” was born from one of those nights where words mattered less than the feeling behind them. Writing this song, I wanted to preserve the nervous laughter, the heat of a glance, the safe space between lovers when the world goes quiet. For me, it’s about the sweetness of queer romance and how the smallest moments—like hearing your name said just right—can mean everything.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This track embodies the 4Me2BeFree mission: transforming deeply personal, queer experiences into cinematic songs that anyone can feel. Each lyric is real, lived-in, and unfiltered, meant to soundtrack the moments that change us. “The Way You Say My Name” fits perfectly in our catalog—proof that intimacy, honesty, and a little bit of heat can become a story anyone wants to hear.

Caption Title (150 characters or less)

A confessional campfire ballad about longing and queer romance—intimate, raw, and real. Sometimes, everything changes with just a name.

The Way You Say My Name

🔻 Song Insight
Mirror Mirror is a raw, garage-rock confession layered with camp, swagger, and narcissistic bravado. Built on distorted riffs, stomping drums, and a snarling vocal delivery, the track captures the unapologetic confidence of someone who knows they’re both the fantasy and the danger. At its heart is the recurring hook — “Mirror mirror on the wall” — a chant-like anthem that twists fairy tale vanity into a queer club battle cry. Equal parts playful and defiant, the song challenges anyone listening to step into the mirror and face their own desires, illusions, and contradictions. It’s cocky, funny, and a little filthy — but it’s also a celebration of power, identity, and unapologetic truth.

🔻 Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah… it’s me.

[Verse 1]
Blue-ball fallin’, I’m crawlin’
Can’t shake you out, it’s appallin’
Take it slow, baby, you know
But this ride’s mine — let it blow

Crazy? Nah, I’m brave
You grin like “hell okay”
“Shhh don’t tell — I’m pretty gay”
Kiss me fast, I make you stay

[Chorus]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that ruins them all?
(It’s me — you know it’s me!)
Unanswered calls, my throne is tall
With a waiting list eight miles long
(Get in line — don’t take too long!)

[Verse 2]
Just the tip, then I’m gone
Pullin’ back, but you pull me on
You smirk, yeah, I supply
Big enough to testify

Hand out? I smack away
Mount up, baby, there’s dues to pay
Twenty-four-seven buffet
I serve it raw, I serve it my way

[Chorus]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that ruins them all?
(It’s me — you know it’s me!)
Unanswered calls, my throne is tall
With a waiting list eight miles long
(Get in line — don’t take too long!)

[Bridge]
Stompin’ out, it pays to play
Queer and loud, I make ‘em sway
Geek on fleek, still on key
Can’t nobody do it like me

[Outro]
Mirror mirror… mirror mirror…
(It’s me, oh yeah it’s me.)

🔻 Personal Reflection
This track came from me finally embracing the parts of myself that once felt “too much.” It’s raunchy, it’s cocky, and it’s not afraid to take up space — because that’s what survival and self-expression sometimes demand. For years I felt the need to shrink, to soften, to fit someone else’s comfort zone. Mirror Mirror flips that on its head. It’s not about hiding; it’s about laughing in the mirror, screaming the hook with pride, and knowing that my voice, my body, my story — they’re mine to own.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
4Me2BeFree is about bending raw emotion into cinematic storytelling — whether it’s heartbreak, nostalgia, or sheer, unapologetic attitude. With Mirror Mirror, we lean into the grit and humor of queer rock expression, taking the White Stripes’ garage punch and infusing it with modern queer bravado. Every track is a reflection, a mirror, and an invitation: come closer, confront yourself, and dance in the mess of it all.

Mirror mirror

"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.

The Way You Say My Name
