See No More

See No More by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This song was one of my personal favorites. It tells the story of a hidden love that I waited 9 years to finally obtain. We used the Seagull to represent the hidden love.

This song is about a decision I had to make while in the Navy. I was scheduled for a Mediterranean cruise and I didn’t want to leave my new love. This is the inner voices fighting it out.

Caught in my Emotions

Caught in my Emotions by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

I found that the best version of this song is. When it is just me and my 12 String. This song came about because I found the beginning of the end of my life long relationship.

Away Isn't That How it Started? Live

Away - Isn’t That How it Started? (Live) By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

I got back into music after the split with my lifelong wife and friend and myself in 2016. This would be the first song out of the beginning of five years of self evaluation. Many tears are the foundation to many composer's music. When I had originally recorded this I was in a very confused and hurtful position. On the original recording my voice cracks from the emotional stress of the song but I thought it was appropriate at the time and I left it in. I was told that she felt I didn’t Love her anymore. I told her that I will tell the entire world just how much I love you. That I did. All this music is mostly my love letters to my Wife. When I perform live I will call my show that ‘Love Letters to my Wife’. To whom all this was created for. I am a Cancer which makes me a Crab. When I grab on to something I don't let go to the point of loss of limb.

Love's Been Away From Me

Love’s Been Away From Me by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

I wrote this the night John Lennon was murdered. I lived in Massachusetts and I was watching the pathetic Patriots when I heard. Like the rest of the world I was in shock. I used two songs he cowrote with Paul McCartney and John's wife Yoko Ono as lead into my song and then at the end.

Used in this song:
Across the Universe by Lennon/McCartney/Ono
Imagine by John and Yoko Ono Lennon

Dear John What Went Wrong

Dear John

Dear John By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This is the produced copy of the song Away. I had such positive response from the live version that I went and produced it.

Away (Isn't That How it Started)?

‘Away’ (Isn’t That How it Started) by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This song was written sitting on my porch with the girl that would one day give me a family. I knew how it ended before it started.

I'm Gonna Miss Your Love

I’m Going to Miss Your Love by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This song was written in August 2021. The song came to me completely written words included the way you are hearing it. I did have the actual version live the night it came to me. I did post that Live version for a few months. If the response to this is large I will release the live version again. Receiving a song in it’s entirety means I was just the presenter. I won’t change a single word.

Because, I'd Miss My Girl

Because, I’d Miss My Girl by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

I wrote this song while in the Navy. I had no girlfriends to cry over back then. I had to get creative and use that imagination I was belittling for possessing by the academics. I will surely amount nothing said the educated one. As they faded into the mist for which like their hollow words vaporized. No bitterness there.

Sail Across the Sea

Sail Across the Sea by Dave Hanrahan Music

I used to write mainly on Sundays. It was a pattern for years. This song I was able to complete in one day. There is a story about what took place when I first played this live in the Prudential center Ground Round. Out of respect for family I don’t want to unnecessarily upset people. 

The song speaks of my decision to lay the music down for a family. To me it was a simple choice. I would make that sane decision 100 of 100 times a family over music. It is called ‘It’s Only Yesterday’.

It's Only Yesterday

It’s Only Yesterday by Dave Hanrahan Music

As we get to the age of the final quarter of life. I found it is time to reflect on my past. My relationships although there weren’t many of them. They all had one thing in common. They walked away.

The Same Old Storyline

The Same Old Storyline Dave 🌎 Hanrahan

This is the produced version of the song. The (Live) version was so popular I thought I best get a produced version. This is a very early song in my career. Like most of all I produced this told of a break-up 30 years before it happened. Young songwriters understand that whatever our minds’ focus on will become reality.

Bright Eyes Smiling

Bright Eyes by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

Once I began writing after a month or two following a 30 year layoff. This is the second song which tells the story of being locked in a small condo and just being serve for divorce. This is my story and I am sticking to it.

It Only Goes to Show

It Only Goes to Show by Dave Hanrahan

This tells the story of advice I once rendered a future bride to be. I knew both parties and I knew she was in for many tearful nights. If only she had listened. The pretty ones seldom do. I am a Heart, Brain and then Avatar type of guy. Opposite of most.

Think, Think, Think Going Solo to Duet

Think, Think, Think Going Solo to Duet by Dave Hanrahan

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

This is one of those songs that’s started with a riff and keeps on growing. Deep in the woods at 3am in New Hampshire the bears are coming out of hibernation early to hear what they were missing.

Rock Cacandy

Rock Cacandy by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This was a song written with my mentor Terry L. Walters the summer I spent with him and his lovely wife Dawn in Lansing, Mi. Terry would strum a chord progression and I would sing a melody. When two musician are in sync there is nothing better.

I Hear You Calling

I Hear You Calling by Terry L. Walters and Dave Hanrahan

This line just came to me ‘It’s far too late to be writing any love songs’. I had to write a song. I reached a point where I couldn’t find it in me to write a Love song.

Far Too Late

It’s Far Too Late by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This was the first new song I wrote after my long hiatus. It is the first of many since I unpacked my instruments in November 2019.

She Drives me Crazy
