Scott McLean "Honestly" - Grunge/Musical

    Scott McLean - "Honestly"

This recording was what I was doing about an hour ago (around 1 AM Friday, April 20, 2012)...  and it was much more interesting to do my own Grunge Musical (song) than to continue looking at dating profiles.  Maybe I'll see how frustration of Internet dating (silly stuff alright) can continue to inspire me to new singing heights, or an all-time emotional low.  In another 80 years, this song also could be part of a period piece, directed by Madonna?  Well no, but perhaps the Queen of Pop of 2092. Sorry I can't see that far into the future and of course I won't be around then, so no comment.  Damn, I need a real date! Joking. I need two, three, or a thousand.  And make up for lost time. Just wait til the girls all over this world, and maybe others, know who I am. Well, then they can let me know.  haha

This was going to be released right here on April 20, 2012, but I decided to wait and post this later.  Here it is May 19, 2012 and finally I'm posting this song.  It's still fresh.

Scott McLean "Can't Stay" (2011 - new song) released March 27, 2012

Scott McLean - Singer, songwriter

Song title:  "Can't Stay"

This song is not about my current situation, and I don't talk this way.  It's just a song and it's intended as entertainment, not for scrutiny of each word.  That's why I put "vocal styling and singing as acting" in the Labels (below).  I started to release my songs last year on Fast Food Yummy because I didn't have my a website or blog to post my own songs.  

It's important to know that many songs by other solo artists and bands are not about the singer or songwriters and the songs also could be written in a variety of ways, during the time of singing or playing guitar, or just some words that sound good together.  But I keep reading comments -- for example, comments below videos of other artists' songs on YouTube -- that listeners think the singer really went through some hard times or something, and my thoughts are maybe, and maybe not.  

They could be writing about relationships they have observed or like a character in a novel, movie, or TV show, the song may represent a combination of characteristics of several people.  Some songs are probably about some person that the singer/songwriter knows (or knew) and they don't sing 'he' and 'him' or 'she' and 'her' but instead sing 'I' and 'me'.  

So then, someone might say that kind of singing is like acting.  Of course, most of us have past relationships too, and while we may be nothing like the character a song appears to be about, we can use our past experiences to figure out how we want to sing the song in a believable way to make it interesting for listeners.  I hope this makes sense.  While this is a blog, please do not assume that I write songs only about myself unless I say so, because like most songwriters/singers/musicians, I want to be creative and come up with something interesting, maybe somewhat different, and see what happens.  

I'm going to share more of my thinking about music and songs, though someone could interview me and maybe I would even answer questions.  

Note: This song was originally scheduled to be released on November 15, 2011 but didn't come out on that date, so it's finally being released now. 

Nonexistent Reality/Scott McLean - "Lower" (new song, Grunge/raw-raw hard rawcapella)

Scott McLean - singer, songwriter, ideas/deep thinking

I just wrote this song about an hour ago.  It's the first recording and I'll probably add to it someday.  Please read the labels.  I use the word 'you' but of course

this song is not about you, the listener, it's about politicians and government officials

and  and others who lie a lot to gain riches, power, and/or fame, and they think they are better than

or 'higher' than most of us but in the end they are 'lower' or maybe that's after the end of this life, when they are lower.  I'm not sure, I'm just thinking on this subject which I find to be quite interesting.

This isn't a religious song about heaven and hell, but maybe it should be, right?  The song is short

and that's like an analogy to the amount of time the liars get to be 'higher' in comparison to 

forever or at least when compared with how long the universe has existed.
