Description: Ironic huh? How it's "unsung" yet I'm singing it?
Makes sense though if you think about it long enough... just think.
An Unsung Birthday Song -------------------------------------------
You woke me from a dream
with just a shadow
So I rose my glass to you at midnight
I've never been able to make those pretty crystal glass
noises but I did tonight
Dear nameless
I hope you're happy
Wherever it is that you are
In a car with your friends getting drunk to forget
Whoever it is that you are
But I'm here singing this unsung birthday song
And I wrote it for you even though it might be wrong
Because we've never spoken but I'm sure you're wonderful
You play beautifully
I've heard it
From these speakers under this lamp
I've never had the blessing like the many in my town
To hear your soul poured from an amp
But I'm here singing this unsung birthday song
And I wrote it for you even though it might be wrong
Because we've never spoken but I'm sure you're wonderful
So I don't know why I'm writing this
For a boy who's never gonna hear it
But I'm going to keep singing this
Unsung birthday song
Silly as it might be
i liked this a lot which is unusual because im irritated and i want to say bad things to people right now.. but this was amusing especially at the beginning..
I really enjoyed this poem. It made me think of the coming together of others. Like if everyone just sang an unsung birthday song to someone maybe the would be a better place. I don't think that was what you were heading for but, that's what it made me feel.
it was good! i kinda pictured(?) the song as a fast-paced smiths tune w/ elements of the arcade fire. i liked the words. that sounds very dumb. no, seriously, "You woke me from a dream
with just a shadow
So I rose my glass to you at midnight
I've never been able to make those pretty crystal glass
noises but I did tonight"
were really great. and you had a really different but catchy rhyme scheme. i sung it in my head as i read it. good tune!
