The Supernatural Withdrawal Song or: I must be possessed to post this.

Okay. So, yesterday [livejournal.com profile] missyjack asked for original music about Supernatural [here.]. I mentioned that I had indeed been writing songs about the show for some time (lyrics are here). [livejournal.com profile] missyjack said "Post it!" and I said, "Hmmmmmm dunnomaybesometime." (Thing is, except for being a bit paranoid about posting files on which I'm singing the songs also need a bit of arrangements etc. to sound decent.)

BUT! I remembered lyrics that I'd written in May 2006 after the season one finale which I'd completely forgotten about. I read them over and realised that if I tweaked them a bit, they could still work just as well for season four. Then I realised that if I was ever to record and post the song I'd better do it now because won't make much sense in October, right? Right. And then [livejournal.com profile] ongiara also said I should post them.

So here. Watch me post it: The Supernatural Withdrawal Song.MP3 - Oh My God *hyperventilates*.

A few things:
1) Oh God, don't expect too much. It's a little songie with only me, my guitar Pat and my funny accent. Don't laugh.
2) I needed ten times until I got this one right. At first I recorded my guitar and my singing at the same time and always either screwed up the chords or the lyrics. Then I recorded my guitar first and added my singing later. I think I might be a bit out of key at times, which is probably because I was focusing so much on not screwing up the lyrics AGAIN. (Okay for a non-native speaker? They're HARD *whines*)
3) I wrote lyrics that rhyme!


So, May was over and I thought that I could deal,
After all there’s so many other shows that still appeal
A week went by, I told myself it was almost June
Then I realised this was going to be harder than I’d assumed

By the end of May I told myself “Only four months to go!”
Then two days later my detox symptoms began to show
My hands started shaking, my eyes grew all black
I thought “Cool, I’m possessed!”, my family called me whack.

I cannot wait – no no no!
I cannot wait – no no no
I cannot wait – no no no
'Til season four

June came and went, I was sure I could handle this
Three more months to go, til eternal wonderful bliss!
But the nervwracking waiting got harder with every day
And so I tried to distract myself in every possible way

Halfway through August I’d rewatched the whole show
About four or five times, I’m on my sixth time right now
And I just can’t help it, I’m afraid I might have lost my mind
But I know that me and my boys, we’re just one of a kind

I cannot wait – no no no!
I cannot wait – no no no
I cannot wait – no no no
'Til season four

Soon it’ll be September and the waiting will come to an end
And when I watch that first episode, please someone hold my hand
Will Sam be frightened, all right, possessed, will he be broody?
Will Dean be all right, be pretty--yes of course!--, will he be moody? (And the car! Don’t forget the car!)

Until then I’ll continue to bite my nails and wait, my oh my
Read fanfiction, and write, discuss and try my best not to cry
As I rewatch “Faith” and see my boys side by side
I cannot help but think this season’s gonna be one Hell of a ride!

I cannot wait – no no no!
I cannot wait – no no no
I cannot wait – no no no
'Til season four (repeat)

4) I'm posting this under a flock, for now, so please don't repost the file. I'm embarrassed enough as it is :-) I might post this publicly but I really don't know, I mean...I'm not sure it's worth being posted outside of a flock. Which is NOT to say you should go and tell me now it's brilliant when it really isn't, I'd rather not have fandom point and laugh at me.

ETA: If this post should vanish over the course of the evening then I've turned into a chicken and set this to private. My fingers are already twitching to do it...


*takes deep breath* Okay, people have convinced me to post this publicly. So here I am. Switching this post to "public" :) *runs*

Everbody not interested in Supernatural, please just ignore this post :)

THIS IS JUST AAAAWESOME!

*LMAO*

Great lyrics. Totally saved it and know you're listed on my winamp favourite playlist between 'Kansas' and 'Maria Mena'

*lol* This is a very funny song - and so friggin' true!

Don't be embarressed, the song is really awesome! Go and post it publicly!

Just to agree with all the others: Go on and post it publicly! And while your at it, add your old SPN songs, too!

I'm not really sure why you're so afraid of doing so, since the few songs by other people that have popped up, were also nicely received. What makes you think yours would be any different? : )

[identity profile] vanee.livejournal.com 2008-06-15 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
This is pretty freaking awesome so don't you dare and chicken out on this! I think Fandom deserves a little positivity, and this is the right thing to take their minds off of wank and stuff. This totally deserves to get posted EVERYWHERE. <3

You have a really lovely voice. And you did write the song yourself, melody and lyrics? Wow, that`s amazing.

Chapeau! :)

Aw, you so rocked this song! I can't even play guitar. I really wish I could because I do write songs but I don't like myself a capella. Don't be embarrassed, it's awesome! Really. :D Go Steffi!

[identity profile] ramoniciu.livejournal.com 2008-06-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
This was so AMAZING!! Loved it! It´s a beautiful melody and the text is so great! I like especially the lines "But I know that me and my boys, we’re just one of a kind" and "And the car! Don’t forget the car!"

And you do have a sweet voice and i´m happy you decided to post this public!

You are amazing! You are so brave but this song is so fun.

Well, I am practically tone deaf and I enjoy listening to Paul's music, so I am not the best to judge music, but I really liked this.

You voice is really lovely but I had already told you that after you gave me "Man Of Many Faces" a while ago and I think it got even better - ahem more even? more selfconfident? - now. ♥

And as a German I of course don't hear any accent. :D

Hehee. I acted the same when they aired Babylon 5 with such loooooong wairing times between the seasons.
Like the song! Would be a nice one to sing in filk circles.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FANDOM'S ANTHEM!

Favorite part: And the car! Don’t forget the car!

Your accent is adorable.

here via [livejournal.com profile] dean_sam, care of [livejournal.com profile] nyaubaby.

this is so awesome. have you thought about asking to have this put in the photobook for jared project (http://janglyjewels.livejournal.com/123586.html) that's going around? i know that it's just supposed to be photos but maybe it can be stuck in there as a cover page or something, you know? i think the boys would love it. :)

[identity profile] blackbirdj2.livejournal.com 2008-06-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is lovely! ♥ I know what it's like to post a song like that publicly. A while back I wrote a song about Jensen's Freckles *cough* and I debated with myself for a long time whether I should post it or not, but eventually I did.
You can listen to it here if you want ;)

Awesome song! I think that'll go directly to my MP3 player so I can sing along very soon!

No, seriously, very well done!
