I wrote this song in one of my self-pitying frames of mind thinking: "I write all these songs basically just for me anyway, they don't mean that much to anyone else, so this is the one where I drop the pretense."

Artist picture
The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song in one of my self-pitying frames of mind thinking: "I write all these songs basically just for me anyway, they don't mean that much to anyone else, so this is the one where I drop the pretense." But in reality, I've received a lot of positive feedback about my songs, and at least a few people have told me my songs have touched them deeply. But when you're depressed, sometimes it feels like you're fighting a battle totally alone, and it's easy to wallow in that self-pity. And that's where this song comes from.
Lyrics
Its hard to feel good about sharing your soul When no one accepts or seems to care Its hard to stay sane when you’re all alone Surrounded by friends who only offer a stare And when It comes time to say goodbye I never wanted the role of the drama queen I wonder if anyone knows how hard I tried To make my life something more than a dream I wonder if anyone knows how hard I tried To make my life something more than a dream Make my life something more than a dream Yeah…something more than a dream This is the song that no one will hear This is the song I write just for me This is the song that I don’t wanna share This is the song for me alone to sing I keep it short, I play it for long I can sing it off-key or play the notes all wrong I can say all the things because this is that song This is the song where you don’t belong But the irony is when I’m alone The world takes on a dreamlike tone My hair stands on end and I shake down to the bone And I still endure just being alone And yet still I endure just being alone Why do I endure just being alone? This is the song that no one will hear This is the song I write just for me This is the song that I don’t wanna share This is that song, this is the song for me This is the song, oh yeah This is the song for me Oh this is that song yeah yeah I just wrote it all for me When I was younger I only wanted two things A family to love and my songs to sing When I was younger I only wanted two things They sort of came true but stayed mostly a dream They sort of came true but stayed mostly a dream This is the song that no one will hear This is the song I write just for me This is the song that I don’t wanna share This is the song that’s just for me This is the song that’s just for me This is the song that’s just for me Just, just for me
