Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.
Story behind the song
Update the R & J story with a modern twist
Lyrics
Julie Can U Hear Me
Words and music by Ron Tintner (C) 2006 - 2024, ASCAP
Julie can you hear me, I’m down here in your yard
Come out on your balcony, I dare not speak too loud
We hit it off so well the other night
I had to scale these walls to catch your light
This should be very simple, But they won’t let us forget
The fact that I’m a Montague, And you’re a Capulet
To you and me that’s hardly worth a fuss
But people all around us, they’re getting so worked up (so, listen)
Julie can you hear me, we can get through this
Julie can you hear me, we’ll get by
Julie can you hear me, let me feel your kiss
We’ll find a way to change their minds
Rumors float among us, tales of my demise
Wishful thinking, premature, just a pack of lies
Julie, don’t go acting out in grief
Keep your head about you, soon there there’ll be relief (so listen)
Julie can you hear me, we can get through this; Julie can u hear me, we’ll get by
Julie can you hear me, though something is amiss; We’ll find a way, we will survive
Julie, why’d you run away What happened to your will?
Why are your lips as cold as ice? The light has left your eyes
Julie, why are you so still?
I hoped that we’d make history, but not the way we did
Not act like star-struck teenagers, we’d change the world instead
I guess your heart got in the way
But that’s alright babe, rest your eyes
I’m here with you today (so, listen)
Julie can you hear me, we could get through this
Julie can you hear me, we’ll get by
Julie can you hear me, let me make a list
Of all the reasons we should have survived
Julie can you hear me, how long did we exist?
There’s no way we should have died
Julie can you hear me, we could get through this
We’d find a way, we would survive
