about

I wrote this song when my friend Daniel challenged me to write a song composed of very happy music and very sad lyrics.

Its the only song I've ever written in the key of C. I got the hook while jamming to a tune by a fellow named Iron John, hence the title 'Hey John' .

lyrics

Hey John, I've been singin your song/ and it makes me happy again/ I heard from a friend, you aren't doin so well/ and we don't know whether you're alive, or dead

You asked politely to kiss me/ I didn't have it in me/ to fall in love that day/ callin in the middle of the night/ about to take your own life/ calm down, you're fine/ I didn't know what else to say

You showed me all around the town/ I even let you take me out/ spending our days in the sun/ but I've been hearin voices too/ tellin me to keep away from you
