Sweet track! dude, is that a 12 string? I love this sound

i love the vibe youve captured. its really freeing. retro and does my soul good

Great sounding layered vocals!  Nice guitar sound as well

This was one of my earliest songs written for the women who would be my wife.

Bright Eyes (Live)

Bright Eyes (Live) by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This was the third song I had ever written. I was all of 20 years old. I woke from a dream that was all to real. This dream wouldn’t materialize until decades later. I wrote three songs on my first day. If you listen to them today, you would believe I was looking back. It was the script to my life.

Ruby Monday (Good Enough)

She was never good enough, for all the roles they handed out in life
She waited oh so patiently, for someone who could finally see her pain

But the author never showed up in her land, at least in no way she could understand
understand for her life

She stood upon her pedestal, eating more though feeling full inside
Confusion is the final state, for all the love we confiscate with lies

And she could never ever turn the page, from years of mother’s sycophantic rage
all the rage she held inside

And the tranquilizers never did the trick, they always left her feeling somewhat sick,
sickened and alone


Friends would call with their advice, of what to do to make things right and new
But they hadn’t lived through what they spoke, their words were simply borrowed quotes and views

And their answers could never quite withstand, all the questions which a heart demands,
 a heart demands to know

Take a stroll along the shore of stillborn lives and metaphors unseen
There you’ll find a horror show of drowning souls that couldn’t let go and be

And they never ever tire of their hands, of building pretty castles in the sand,
for eternity

This is one of a handful of songs which came to me complete. I leave them as I received them. I am more an instrument used then a writer.

You're so Confused

You're So Confused by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

***
Я устал от бесконечного бега
Я бегу от себя и пытаюсь понять
Почему в моей душе так много холодного снега
Почему, что нашёл, я успел потерять

Утопая в мерцании звёзд чужих
Я пытаюсь заметить одну
Но в их свете прозрачном я вижу лишь море лжи
Я понимаю, иду ко дну

День за днём я ищу своё лето
Нахожу лишь обломки прошлых побед
Я уже не уверен, что нужно мне это
Но дорога зовёт, я вижу свет

***(google translate)
I was tired of endless running
I'm running from myself and trying to understand
Why is there so much cold snow in my soul
Why, what I found, I managed to lose

I'm drowning in twinkling stars that aren’t mine
I'm trying to spot one
But in their transparent light I see only a sea of lies
I understand, I'm sinking

Day after day I seek my summer
I find only fragments of past victories
I'm not so sure that I need this
But the road is calling, I see the light

Lyrics:

Look at me, you can see anything you want to
Because you're free
We try, we all cry when nothing seems to stay right
But we get by, we get by

When you feel alone I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, you're never on your own
And you'll get by

When you're down, we can hang around
And have too much to drink while we're on the town

Cause you can be and you can see anything you want to
Because you're free

When you feel alone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on you own, I'll be by a phone

And when the feeling's gone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, never on your own
And you'll get by

We’ve got, we’ve got, chemistry – Chemistry – We’ve got, we’ve got chemistry – Can’t you see? – Tongue-tied, tongue-tied, that’s how it feels, that’s how it feels – Tongue-tied, tongue-tied – Down-right evil

Chorus:
I was so naïve
I was so young
I was so stupid
You gotta leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone

Make-believing, make-believing everything up, everything up - Catching my breath when I run – It’s you I run to and it’s you I run from – Sometimes, sometimes I just don’t care, I don’t care – Sometimes, sometimes I don’t care

Chorus
