Lyrics- looking for collaborators

This is my new Song 'June'! Hope you'll enjoy it!

June


* these are lyrics I'd for someone out there to put music to them*


The pounding of the drum


The sound so profound;
The voices that are drowned

To the pounding of the drum. 

The cries and the lies 
Draped over us, a disguise

To the pounding of the drum. 

The wonder and the blunder
This life and all it's thunder roars 

To the pounding of the drum. 

The poverty and the hypocrisy 
Stamped with the approval of bureaucracy 

All to the pounding of the drum 
All to the pounding of the drum
All to the pounding of the drum

Lyrics by John McMahon

The Pounding Of The Drum (Lyrics)

looking for singers and musicians who could put these lyrics to music 


Where do all the strange people go (when the lights are low)


Angeline was the queen 
Of the rock and grunge scene 
Had unusual tatoos 
In unusual places 
But she's lost now 
In a haze of faces 

Where do all the strange people go
I have to know, where do all the strange 
People go-——
When the lights are low.

Dave was king
Of the rave and dance scene 
Popped a hundred pills
Just to get his thrills 
But time kills 
These fragile stereotypes 

Where do all the strange people go 
I have to know, where do all the strange people go——
When the lights are low 

Baz was king
Of the blues and jazz scene
He got so philosophical 
Got lost in his logic 
Oh how very tragic 
What happens to the magic.

Where do all the strange people go
I need to know, where do all the strange
People go——
When the lights are low
When the lights are low-
When the lights are low- 
Where do all the strange people go. ——

Lyrics By John McMahon

Where Do All The Strange People Go ( When The Lights Are Low) (Lyrics)

*if you'd like to use these lyrics drop us a message* 


A glimpse of You 

You were in your high rise flat
getting higher with a Siamese cat 
I was on the street below looking 
for footprints in the snow 
and calling out your name...

Damn all those houses looked the same
Then I saw your silhouette, I'll never 
forget how I saw you silhouette

in the night I caught a glimpse of you 
in the night I caught a glimpse of you

Lyrics By John McMahon


A Glimpse Of You - (lyrics)


*looking for singers and musicians who would like to put music to my lyrics*


Ain't it just like love


I've been wearing 
Out my shoes
Walking your roads. 

I've been staring 
At our stars 
As they quickly corrode. 

Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars-----
Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars------

I've been visting 
Bars we used
to call our locals.  

I've been insisting 
I stay until you walk 
though the door.

Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars------
Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars------

I've been talking 
To our old friends, 
See if they seen ya.

I've been walking 
Around our streets
In hope of seeing ya 

Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars------
Ain't it just like love-
To leave scars--------

And the biggest scar of all 
Is the one that devides
our world

Lyrics By John McMahon

Ain't It Just Like Love (Lyrics)


*if you like these lyrics- perhaps you would like to put music to them*


In times of madness



I have a question for you,
Tell me what would you do,
If I pulled out my gun;
Shot a hole in your sun
And your world went dark 

In times of madness
I take my pain out on you 
In times of sadness 
I take my pain out on you 

I have an answer for you, 
This is what I'm gonna do 
I'll take the razor from my heart;
Shave clean the black parts 
And your world won't be dark

In times of madness
I won't take my pain out on you
In times of sadness 
I won't take my pain out on you

Lyrics By John McMahon 

In Times Of Madness (Lyrics)

*If you'd like to use these lyrics drop me a meassage

Innocent Eyes 

In the spaces of our minds 
not occupied by death,
there's a little part of us 
that draws its last breath

and romance is dead 
say the angels and the kings 
no more singing amen 
we'll sing our sins instead

cos riotous is the blood 
that fills our open skies -
aye aye aye aye
heavy is the flood that
drips from innocent eyes
aye aye aye aye 

innocent eyes ----
innocent eyes ----

(London – UK) Critically praised alt rock band Everywhere, have announced the release of their new single ‘Shades At Night’ available on all digital providers from November 16th. Recorded in East West Studios Los Angeles and produced by Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, Blondie), ‘Shades At Night’ is available to pre-order now.

Since their Hypemachine charting debut single ‘Eddie’, Eveywhere's music have been streamed millions of times on Youtube, Soundcloud and Spotify. The success of 'Eddie' led on to an unlikely collaboration with Nu Disco producers Oliver Nelson and Tobtok which allowed the band to reach audiences far beyond the mainstream rock crowd, and catch the attention of radio Dj's such as the Wideboys at Kiss FM, Alex Lester on BBC 2, Dj Cameo at 1Xtra and X-press 2 at 6 Music. 

They made their first UK appearance at the 2013 NME Awards, playing alongside Django Django and Palma Violets, and later went on to support the Kaiser Chiefs and headline Notting Hill Arts Club.

‘Shades At Night’ is the first single of their highly anticipated sophomore EP due out later next year. The track is a cinematic guitar and synth driven stomper, drawing inspiration from mid 80's pop with frontman Max Berga’s slightly nasal crooning on top. 

The band have also announced plans to tour the UK and Europe later this year, details are expected to be confirmed via their official website.

Notes for editor, Everywhere consists of Max Berga (vocals, guitar), Filip Severinson (keyboards),  Marcel Karlsson (guitar) all hailing from Stockholm. Live they are joined by Walle Wahlgren (drums) and Mikael Ingegaard (Bass).

Merry Christmas (acoustic version)

I am John McMahon and I'm from Glasgow. I am a poet that pounds the dark streets of muse. My poetry is dark and eventful. I have recently sewn my poetry into the fabric of the lyrical scene, offering my exuding mind to music. I am a very passionate writer that keeps building poetry like a brick layer, my ambitions are endless. Today I feel more confident and motivated. I'm embarking on utilizing my skills even more in music and beyond so If you are looking to collaborate on a project then drop me a message
