I Don't Want To Die (Original Song) by Pete Monaghan

[snejq3]

really really awesome touching music! i think i repeated that now for the 12th time and it's still so nice =) thumbs up!

[CaptainUltimate27]

Fantastic and beautifully poetic!

[coljrbzona21]

bad ass song just skip the intro

[coljrbzona21]

bad ass song

[Whenheartslacklove]

o.o; wow you should go to a record company and get a record deal i seriously <3 your voice ...and i would buy all your albums =D... and i dont normaly bother with the thumbs up thingie but ill make an exception this time =]

[dotatilldeath]

nc one man !!! i like it

[alaverga691]

you should work with Aletniq sounds good

[HannasusPink]

wow so Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Love IT

Soo GUd!!!

[Lepsco]

I gotta admit, I did not expect much of anything good when I clicked on this video, but it's much better than I expected. Death is such an abstract concept for humans to comprehend, some people think of death as a release, others as a tomb. But in the end, we all struggle when we know it's coming. I like how the song portrayed that struggle.

[daddyswiwgirl]

amazingg video (:

i love it

your amazingg.

wooohhooo goooood job man

[hck09]

[lisamart2]

5/5

[PetrucciFever]

Still love it!

[MrCongate]

I think you found a new job. :-)

[crystalniccole]

You are an amazing talent! I LOVE the song! --Its going to everyone I know!

[josebaudrand]

The C part I think is a litlle similar to other parts. I needed a real change....or semi real change. I think that could help you to end the song on another posittion (metaphor)...like if you really don´t want to die like this tonight!. Well Thanks for the song. Good! My best Jose

[josebaudrand]

Hi Pete, I like your song.

The first part (part A) is nice. Beautiful melody. The chorus is also (for me) very beautiful. The go very well together! (A & Chorus). The first time I heard it, I miss a Em or Bm change...I think that those chords (or others) could be a good thing.

[tylerdj05]

it's not that good. fine i'll admit that it's alringt. :-I

[serenitymommykat]

Love it!

[gryffith2]

wah nice ! congratulations !

[oldspiceredzoneclear]

sounds great man

[motherlyturnip]

i think he's pretty dang good.

Who's with me?

[CoyoteDeGrey]

lol... ettu is dumb. Most pop music out there today contains lyrics a 4th grader could write and people eat it up. Furthermore this gentleman's lyrics far surpass the standard for pop's music. This song is AMAZING and soulful! I choked up the 1st time i heard it. Keep playing, i eat your tunes up like candy.

[chas463]

good stuff no number 1 but good shit man

[wwjohan]

hey pete hows it goin ? :)

[kkrops]

love IT nice track keep em comin an try not ot die 4 real

[ettubrutemusic]

I really like your voice on this song. I really hate it on some others, but it sounds right on this song.

It's not the morbidity of the song that would prevent it from becoming popular (not like popularity is the goal, but good things become popular), but it's the fact that the lyrics are rather antiquated at points. The melody is nice enough, but if you just read the lyrics, they sound silly at times from word choices.

Still pretty good, though.

[fishstikRAPPER]

hey... umm... this song.. is GREAT!

i understand it... can relate to it... and i know sooo many other people that could do the same thing... good luck to you man... if you havnt auditioned for record companies... i would reccomend doing so... slash give it all you've got. I support the arts 100%. Thanks for sharing your talent on youtube.

[DylanWishop]

Hello. :) I really liked your videos. In my opinion this is the best of your songs. ;D I'm really happy that there are people like you in the world that want to create something. Best of luck to you Pete. :) Hope your job will be continued. (sorry for my english mistakes)

[J0rth3]

I had just my first composition, entitled "Soon we'll die". I just downloaded it. Here's the link (watch?v=YR2N2NHByKk ). My video is a crap, but not the song.

Can you or anyone make it better? and post it as a video response to my song.

Thanks, I like your song anyway.

[smokewilliams]

Thanks so much for saying that.

Peace,

Pete

[DMK2k6]

Cheers for the chords!

[smokewilliams]

No problem. I think you can tell the D is played differently. You can see the shapes in the video.

Peace,

Pete

[DMK2k6]

Im liking this song i dunno if my last comment got posted but i will try again if it has you can delete this one lol, anyway is their any chance of getting the Chords or tabs to this song? if so or even if not leave a comment

[smokewilliams]

Hey this is the only comment I see. Thanks for checking it out. I am glad you like it. This song is really very easy. I will post the chords with the lyrics posted above.

Peace,

Pete

[RjThisper]

Bravo! Great. Just Great...love your unrestrained, open, mid-throat voacal style. Nice axe. I use a Madeira, and without my pop-in it sounds similar to your Seagull. BTW:5*

[smokewilliams]

Hey thanks for saying that. I am glad you like it.  I sing the way I sing, and I have heard many descriptions, but never like this. I really appreciate it.

Peace,

Pete

[XxOverTheOceanxX]

Brilliance

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Marcus.

Peace,

Pete

[PetrucciFeverLive]

One of the few OUTSTANDING compositions on YouTube!

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Julian. I think it is Julian, right? Outstanding? Wow, I really, really appreciate it man.

Take care.

Peace,

Pete

[hartmanpeter]

Weird. Mine's a Seagull too. I bought it about 3 years ago.

Peter. Twin. Canadian. Seagull. Singer. Songwriter.

Stop stealing my life!

:P

[smokewilliams]

You forgot the rubik's cube!

I am older so I think you are stealing mine!

Peace,

Pete

[hartmanpeter]

You're right on both accounts.

Damn. I knew my life was one of God's repeats. After a trillion original lives, I suppose it was inevitable.

:P

[hartmanpeter]

I was wondering what type of guitar that was. It's not a Seagull, is it?

P.

[smokewilliams]

Wow man, you have great eyes. It is a Seagull. I got it about 10 years ago.

Peace,

Pete

[ignatiusgraves]

people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

[smokewilliams]

Thanks, I think?

Peace,

Pete

[seeksthetruth7]

Dude, I'm not tryin' to hate or anything but you could improve your song by stopping for a beat, or adding a wierd bridge to change direction to make it less predictable. I like the song, It just needs something to wake up people somewhere. 4 stars

[smokewilliams]

Hey thanks for checking it out. There is always plenty I could do to make the song better, but I am unable to find those things, and I give up and post what I have come up with. Thanks for telling me what you think.

Peace,

Pete

[PetrucciFever]

Hey Pete! I wrote two comments yesterday ?! Can´t find them! Grrr...Just wanted to say, that my girl is totally into your voice! And THIS song!! She wants to buy your album! Where is it?!;) Well, think about it! You´re awesome man! Wish I could watch your older vids in this quality! Best Greetz, Julian

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Julian, and tell your girl that I am glad she likes what I do. As for an album, it doesn't exist. Maybe in the future, I think I need more of a following to push me to do that. As for my older vids, I have been contemplating re-recording my old songs again, since I have improved as has my equipment. What do you think? Thanks for your support Julian and girl.

Peace and Love,

Pete

[ParadiseEarth1]

Pretty Cool... you're a prolific song writer. Wonder if you're aware of the Yahoo Canada Song Writing Contest? Last entry accepted on April 10, 2007!

[smokewilliams]

Thanks for saying that. I wasn't aware of that contest. Are you suggesting this tune for it?

I will check it out.

Peace,

Pete

[kamekosun]

Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

[smokewilliams]

Huh??

[jorgeblazer]

best song by far

nice

[smokewilliams]

Thanks for saying that! I hope I am improving. Working on a new one now!!

Peace,

Pete

[Thupore]

beautiful melody, i had to send another message to say it!

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Taizy.  I really appreciate you saying that.

Peace,

Pete

[judgemick]

smoke, your voice is definitely improving, and you're really crankin' up that guitar. Keep 'em comin'

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Pop! I will.

Love you

Peace and love,

Pete

[Bhobbs1985]

I love this song. I check it out atleast a time or two a day. Keep on singin man, your awesome.

[smokewilliams]

Hey man that is awesome for you to say! I am glad you like it enough to listen more than once! So it must be you who is driving up my views. Please keep it up.

Take care.

Peace,

Pete

[Bhobbs1985]

Yeah, its a great song. What motivated you to write it? Anything, or just something you wrote out of no where. I'll definatly keep subscribed and look out for new songs.

[smokewilliams]

Thanks. Nothing motivated it specifically. I was just banging out some chords and sang the first line. That was the genesis. I thought about bleeding and dying. I find it easier to write about morbid big stuff like this.

Thanks again.

Peace,

Pete

[moneomone]

Nice.. I like it ,thanks for sharing your music.

[smokewilliams]

Hey this is my pleasure. I was posting before I knew I could actually have people watch and leave comments. Take care and watch out for more.

Peace,

Pete

[Anjafa]

Dude I have a new song, its the best ive ever written. I'm gonna play the other parts I have written on protools in the background so it'll have bass, lead parts etc..watch this space haha..

Peace,

Andrew

[smokewilliams]

Nice work Andrew. I am looking forward to it. I have been thinking about really recording this song and making a creepy video for it. I will see your vid as soon as you post it.

Peace,

Pete

[Anjafa]

Excellent idea, you and your bro could dress up and play a load of different parts.lol.you have to do it.

[hurtstone]

Pete, pretty good video but I prefered the live version more :)

[smokewilliams]

Thanks man. Yes, I think you liked the venue and refreshments more than the music.

Peace,

Pete

[chunjae23]

Hey thanks for saying that. Thought I would try black and white cause it makes me look better.

Peace,

Pete

[monaghangolf]

Dude!! This song rocks. It is my favorite so far of all of yours. I played with Tom Cochrane the other day, maybe I'll forward it to him. What do you think?  Keep going man. I hope you get 100,000 views. Love Tom

[smokewilliams]

Hey Bro! Thanks man. Putting tunes on youtube has awakened the sleeping musician inside. I have been inspired to play and write more. Hold off on the Tom Cochrane call right now. That is funny. Love you bro.

Peace and love,

Pete

[yogal17]

I haven't read lyrics this touching in a long time. I'm blown away, Pete. This is truly great stuff.

Just somehow upon hearing the lyrics to this, I kinda think about my ex-girlfriend alot. I don't know about the others but it certainly had a huge impact on me. Good job. You the man.

Peace,

[totallytacoma]

lets all get some perspective here..thats all I am sayin. Its the kind of thing a less hairy Bob Dylan would write...only with more clarity.

[smokewilliams]

[dustypuppy]

good one buddy

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Dwight. Take it easy.

Peace,

Pete

[TDiddy1973]

Peace,

Pete

[morganbutterfly]

I think that the song lacks a good hook, but as a song it doesn't suck. I think it could sound better.  I mean this in the most possitive of ways. Don't be mad.

[smokewilliams]

I don't think it sucks either. I am not mad.

Peace,

Pete

[loidallen]

nice hook in the chorus

[smokewilliams]

Thanks for checking it out. I am glad you like it.

Peace,

Pete

[pattygee1111]

man, this one is awesome dude. Man, is there anyway I can get the MP3 to this one? It's really good dude...

[smokewilliams]

Thanks Patty. I might just be able to hook you up with something like that.  Would you want this exact recording? I think I could strip the audio out of the vid.

Peace,

Pete

[jaxs4u4]

Very nice work Pete :) I just got back from up north myself and sat in with a friends acoustic band. Its gr8 fun :)
