I recorded this last year because it's my favorite song by my dear friend, . I haven't been in contact with him as much as I'd like lately, as life gets busy and such.. but I came across this song and wanted to share it again. I miss you, Meno!
Meno's version is much more .. how do I say it ?.. Rawwwwwr.
Of course, I folked it down a bit. Basically, you might say I gutted it. Stripped to the bone. But singing it that way makes me happy, seeing as how I can't actually sing it the way Meno does. His high notes destroy me. Mad respect for your bellowing abilities, dear Meno.
I trimmed the video down, cutting out the intro because I have been sharing these on my YouTube and I don't like advertising my blockchain stuff there. I'm quite a private person in many ways, but I'd like to share Meno's music with the world.
This whole idea was inspired by the #coverasteemian initiative by . Had I not been trying to think of someone incredibly awesome to cover for that challenge, then this never would have happened.
Therefore, I have set beneficiaries to this post 50/50 between Meno and Pechi. They both deserve it.
Thanks to all who listen.
Lyrics
I'm looking for a reason
to touch your hands
I'm searching for the seasons
I'm writing down my plan
'Cause in my mind you live with me
and in my heart you never leave
lets pretend you 't have to go
and let me kiss you, don't say no
And lie, please lie
to me
And lie, your lies
can set this writer.. free
And tell me that you miss me
as much as I do
And tell me I'm not crazy
for dreaming about you
please just lie to me
I really want to touch you
but I know that I cant
I really want to hold you
and be called your man
'Cause in my mind you live with me
and in my heart you never leave
lets pretend you don't have to go
and let me kiss you, don't say no
And lie, please lie
to me
And lie, your lies
can set this writer free
And tell me that you miss me
as much as I do
And tell me im not crazy
for dreaming about you
And lie, please lie
to me
And lie, your lies
can set this writer free
And tell me that you miss me
as much as I do
and tell me I'm not crazy
for dreaming about you
Please, just lie to me

And, you must hear Meno's original. If you've never heard him sing and play, you are in for a real treat.
Have a great day!
Love always,
