Fool Me Once

Song inspired by my experiences with love, George "Dubya" Bush and Bob Dylan. In that order. Not based on any one person nor personal events, necessarily. Rather: The emotions inspired the song, which does not exactly tell a story of something that happened in real life (to me or anyone I know). The song is not really Bob Dylan-ish (it's pretty much just a love song), but I decided to sing it in the vein of Dylan because although I am a fairly decent singer (I have played Thénardier in Les Miz and Herr Schultz in Cabaret) and Dylan's singing style is not something one normally ATTEMPTS to achieve, I happen to really like how Dylan sings in that mysterious way that purposefully sounds just a little bit out of tune and thought it would be perfect for my song. I hope you enjoy the song, although it is more for my personal satisfaction so if you hate it I don't care. I know that it is certainly cathartic for me.

@pinglu88 thanks very much, and I will! I intend to upload more professional-quality versions of my songs over the summer, nearly all of which will have additional verses and chords (and percussion parts) added, plus some new songs. so stay tuned and when I get a contract you can say "i liked him before he sold out" ;)

.... I am shocked. This was the best thing you have ever done. Screw directing, go into music, dude!put this up for a download!

[aokjunebug91]

Thanks! How do I put something up for download?

I want to be a recording artist, actually; that's why I started learning piano this summer, and a little guitar, too. I have literally over a hundred songs' lyrics done and the music's all in my head so expect to see more soon.
