about

I wrote this song during the pandemic, V1. One day, if I play my cards rights, I might revisit this song (with robust studio production), and add it onto an album. But for the moment, here it is, in all of it's naked, stripped-down splendor.

With the rights of Americans, especially women, being taken away, I think the title of this song is fitting. This might be the general theme and focus of my songwriting for some years to come. Please vote accordingly. Thank you.

Love,
Dan

lyrics

Take It From Me

I know this is the same shirt I wore yesterday... But that's okay.
It keeps me warms when I'm walking. It's 25 degrees when I wake up. That's enough..
To put on this orange sweatshirt that I've had for twenty plus years
It's made from old Coke bottles and two liter beers
It's outlasted four dogs and too many girls to count
It's never had a rip or tear. Never had a doubt like me.

I regret to inform you that I see.
The results are never guaranteed.
The work you put in is where you supposed to be.
Don't take it from me. From me. From me.

I know this is the same hair I've had all my life. Isn't that nice?
I never thought too much about it. Two styles: long or short.
I used to cut it myself till I got what I deserved.
An accidental mohawk. A center stripe of skin.
The worlds smallest combover to cover up my sins.
The money saved parted ways and embarrassment sunk in.
The stage lights burned some pride away with reality creeping back to me.

I regret to inform you that I see.
The results are never guaranteed.
The work you put in is where you supposed to be.
Don't take it from me. From me. From me.

I regret to inform you that I see.
The results are never guaranteed.
The work you put in is where you supposed to be.
Don’t take it from me. From me. From me.

Dan Haas Annapolis, Maryland

I have been writing songs since the 90's and have released some albums, EP's, and singles over the years.

My primary instrument is guitar, so many songs have an acoustic quality. I'm a fan of lush harmonies, big strings, & dreamy synths. I hope you find something appealing. Thank you for visiting and listening. ... more
