About A Girl

I did this on a roland 1880 in my living room....

1 Night Light

Acapella W Petra

I recorded this on my own and then got insecure about  a cappella intro so redid for my album with other musicians. But now I like this version better

Dead Meat Demo

More drippy sad Sean. Sorry I was such a little cheesy emo kid.

Yellow Moon

This song is me being such a little emo bitch. If I only knew then how much harder life really gets I would've stopped whinging about my 'feelings.'

Too Much Too Soon

I think this is the worst music I ever made. But somehow I want to just show it to the world. It took me 40 years to feel like I could actually write a song...This stuff never came out because it wasn't me and it was so cheesy. Was having fun with Matt Romano on drums and Albert Hammond Jr. on guitar but I couldn't pull off pop music just not me. But here it is, warts and all...Those guys are still my bros. I have many more from that session but unless you guys really wanna hear them I'm too embarrassed to put them out. they're really pop.

Necessary Evil

This was supposed to be a modular project for Hitrecord.org so that every piece fit anywhere and anyone could build it. But I think Joe felt it was too complicated.

Prime Time 8 - 28 - 13

Perhaps the saddest (career) day of my life was losing this job for Silver Linings Playbook. My whole life would've changed. They won like 8 Grammies. :-( Was my big break that never happened. They said they loved it :-(

Silver 4 - 19 - 12

I like the lyrics but the heavy section is too much. My voice cracks like a little munchkin. I have a version of where it doesn't go heavy but can't find it...

The Last Song 01

This is when I first got my Chinese square neck dobrow. Just messing around.

Square Raga

This used to be on seanlennon.com as an intro piece. It's just me on the Roland 1880.

Acapella Intro

I've had many requests for the background demos from my old site so here they are. All just rough demos on the Roland 1880

Piano Acapella

Sadly she never liked it. I have a version with great lyrics but I cant find it....

In The Middle Of The Night

Blues in 15

Bishi

Before I learned to write good lyrics and just said whatever came to my head....

Freaking Out

Bishi Sean Yuka Jam MIX 7.19.15

I have like 300 of these late night jamz...

                              

Major Funk ROUGH MIX 7.11.15

Country Last Call W Petra

3 As 4 Song 1

Band we never released w Jordan Galland called the Pyramids. Backing Vox courtesy Bijou Phillips...

Dangerous World

I never released this pop album because it's just too silly and not the real me. But after all these years I think some of my fans will get a kick out of it. Yes part of me wanted success, but when I listened back I just cringed the whole time. Anyway it was great working with Matt Romano and Albert Hammond Jr. Laugh away my friends, I know what a dweeb I was being...but it is pretty hooky.

Only Laughing

Here's a song I actually love from my band with Jordan Galland, The Pyramids--a full LP we never officially released. I love this song. Simple but good.

Breakfast w/ My Girlfriend

Another lost Pyramids track w Jordan Galland. I like this one it's Twin Peaksy.

veronica

This is the second to last track on the lost album by the Pyramids, a band I had with Jordan Galland

never cry again

This is a piece I wrote for the brilliant journalist and screenwriter Charles Mudede.

Song For Charles MIX1 WITH FX

I wrote this for Charles Mudede because he is one of the greatest intellectuals of our time.

Carrie and I wrote this song years ago. When she died I just felt I had to record it. This is only a demo unmixed, we only had a few hours to record it. But the lyrics she wrote with me I think are marvelous. Carrie and I used to stay up til dawn chatting and pontificating about life. They were my best moments. Anyway... we wrote a song about staying up too late and hearing the birds sing. Willow Smith is a prodigal angel and was generous enough to lend her golden voice to this little tune.

Bird Song

Love comes on cat's feet
It circles the corners
It sits by the window and whispers...
'Mine! Your mine! all mine!'

My arm fell asleep
And dreamt it was your arm
Hush lest we break the spell, oh well, oh well..

It's all so wrong
To greet the dawn
The birds sing that awful song saying 
'You don't belong here!'

Bird Song_R2

I finally found an old lost song pre-freindly fire I never used because I thought it was too weird for people. Music by Sean Lennon Lyrics by Sean Lennon and Jordan Galland...

This really is one of my fav old songs hope you like it. Please share if you do.

2001 demos

The End of the World

I have so many unreleased jamz and song ideas I've decided to put some of them here. Sadly most of them I cant find because HDs disappear. I have at least 3 albums of (often terrible) material that I'll never find again. But as I find lost tracks I'll try and put them here even if they suck.
