Steemit Open Mic Week 62 - Don't Wana Be Found - [Original Song]
Here's another tune written exclusively for Open Mic & the Songwriter's Challenge.
I'm having a lot of fun creating these tunes according to a specific theme and deadline.
Given this week's theme (lost & found), I thought i'd be writing a love song lol...However, I really fought against that and wrote a song about a transvestite instead (j/k). Although it can certainly be construed a such from what i've been hearing haha.
Hey, nothing wrong with a good song about a tranny right!?
Anyways....this tune is actually more about self growth and in may ways, it turned out to be a type of love song... All be it more so to do with loving yourself and letting yourself follow your guts etc.
I definitely pictured this tune having both Male & Female leads who would split the verses and come together in great harmony for the choruses.
ENjoy!
C: Just wana get lost don’t wana be found
Crossing state lines rolling town to town
Don’t wana be found x2
V1: I cut my hair off yesterday
Now I wear it wild don’t care what ppl say
I used to think of home
Now I just can’t look back so I yell out rock & roll
P1: Oh I’m just trying to be free
You make it much harder than it has to be
Oh I’m just a man who lives out of a van
Doing what I please
V2: Yesterday I changed my name
Didn’t like the one I had
Now I go by Mary Jane
Don’t think I’m good or bad
P2: No I’m just trying to be free
You make it much harder than it has to be
Oh I’m just a girl who lives in her world
Doing what I please
B: What’s your problem with me living this way
I’m not asking you to do the same
I just want to be free
Live my life like some kinda freak
Nice music and good lyrics
oww your music video is amazing.What you are like music?I like music.
Haha that was cool. And I am wasting time here instead in my dark project

"No I’m just trying to be free
You make it much harder than it has to be
Oh I’m just a girl who lives in her world
Doing what I please"
I love that line ❤
Beautiful song, I am always a sucker for a song about freedom. It reminds my of one of my favorite characters in a book.
Thank you for sharing it, I always enjoy your music.
Haha yea, that line get's a point across for sure. I'm glad it resinates.
It's a Good ol Freedom Song lol.
My Pleasure!
thats really cool! I love the narrative of transformation going on there, sometimes you have to get lost to get free I guess! Great imagination bro..... definitely a super original take on the theme ;)
Thx dude, felt like writing a classic love song was a bit of a cope out for me particularly.. so fought against is a bit in the spirit of it being the songwriter’s challenge ;)
