about

Another track from the rock opera (or musical, whichever) that I've been SLOWLY working on for the past few years called 'Alphabetically Yours". This song is actually the 4th in the show despite it's title, as it sees our hero finally getting closure on his ended relationship in the previous song (titled "Closure" which I released on the FuMP a few years ago) and now struggles with getting his mojo back as a writer. This was released to my Patreon patrons back in December of 2019.

The song was originally written by Ben Stahl as a song for his solo album, "No Freight To Throw" but he kindly let me borrow (and adapt) this track by stealing the music and changing a few words to have it fit my story a bit. (Not the first time he's done that either, as my song "Marry'd Lyfe" was basically a parody of his boyband track "Dead End Love".)

lyrics

We open
on our first page
Introduction
Now reality can disengage
The prologue
to our epic tale
Exposition
A hero bold, of course, he’s male!
A princess
Is trapped inside the dragon’s cave
The climax
The girl is saved, the hero’s brave!
That’s a little too cliché
and there’s not enough heart
The audience can’t be sure that he’ll win from the start
If we re-write
every ending in life
try not to wrap it up too neat
We’ll leave them on the edge of their seat
Maybe the dark cave
Is a pirate ship?
Maybe it’s haunted?
Or his sword’s just a big Q-tip?
The princess
secretly is a witch
who’s planning to smite our
heroic yet-unknowing pro-tagonist
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
We’re fin’ly getting somewhere
Never take the audience for granted,
Try as they may, they’ll never be prepared
As we re-write
Every ending in life
We’ll never leave them bored
We’ll leave them begging for more!
