DAVE HANRAHAN

This was the first song I wrote when I began playing my guitars again. After a 30 year layoff I was happy to know I could still write. I have been writing ever since.

I Love That Girl

I Love That Girl by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This song is one of my favorites. Originally this was two different songs. I learned from The Beatles to tie songs together if they weren’t completed. It worked perfectly with these two songs. I do everything on my recording from creating the song, playing all the instruments and singing. I also produce my music. I hope you enjoy it.  I fell in love with the mandolin on this song.

Streets of my Hometown

The Streets of my Hometown by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

If I was asked what was my best song it would be this one. Whenever I played this song live I would see tears in most of the men’s eyes. It hit a nerve. It came about when one morning I woke after a dream. It was so real that everywhere I turned I saw her face. Memories can be a curse or a blessing. This song I named ‘Your Memory’.

Your Memory

Your Memory By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

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.

I Set Her Free

I Set Her Free by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This song tells the story of how blind love makes us. This started with a phone call and end with the sad reality. All her promises were left empty.

I Don't Want to Lose You

I Don't Want to Lose You By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This was the 2nd song after the 30 year hiatus. This is the story of the death of my marriage to the only person to really ever know me Robin. Who was part of my life since 1979 to 2016.

It Only Goes to Show

It Only Goes to Show (Live) by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This is a song I wrote many years ago. It spoke about a relationship I would have with a younger woman.  I  always assumed it was for my x wife whom I was 9 years her senior. It called ‘I Think You’re Beautiful’. True love is known by the fruit it produces

Other Loves

I Think You’re Beautiful

I Think You’re Beautiful by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

This was a song that I forgot about until a lyrics book was found in my childhood home. The song was written about a late night call from an old flame.

I Never Really Realize

I Never Really Realize 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

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

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 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

She Drives Me Crazy by Dave Hanrahan Music

“ ….There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light 
   gets in … “
