Preset Three (Wild Rover)

Liner Notes

Hey! Just a heads up - this is purely for laughs! 🎭

What started as a deep artistic endeavor somehow turned into me having way too much fun with an old Irish tune. Think of it as creative playtime rather than any real commentary or criticism. I got carried away because, well, who doesn't love putting new words to classic melodies?

And while I could've gone for something profound... sometimes you just need to embrace the silly! So grab your imaginary pint, and let's not take ourselves too seriously. This is just me messing around and having a blast with some public domain tunes! 🎵

I used a karaoke track - vocals and words are mind.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been sharing my journey, all raw and unplanned My morning routines and my skincare brand But truth brings in pennies while fiction pays grand And I'm tired of pretending I don't understand

[Chorus] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more Will I be real authentic Just act it some more

[Chorus Variation] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more 'Cause true raw emotion Won't pay like before

[Verse 2] I've been mining my trauma for likes and for views Each tear-streaked confession's carefully cubed The rawer the content, the higher it moves And honesty's just how you market the news

[Chorus] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more Will I be real authentic Just act it some more

[Chorus Variation] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more 'Cause true raw emotion Won't pay like before

[Verse 3] My breakdown last Tuesday was take twenty-three Had to get just the right shade of vulnerability The comments all love how I'm raw, how I'm free But raw's just a filter in preset three

[Chorus] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more Will I be real authentic Just act it some more

[Chorus Variation] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more 'Cause true raw emotion Won't pay like before

[Verse 4] My coffee's gone cold while I perfect each shot The realness you see took me hours to plot I learned from the best how to give what you sought Their millions prove fake truth's the best truth we've got

[Chorus] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more Will I be real authentic Just act it some more

[Chorus Variation] And it's no, nay, never (no, nay, never) No, nay, never, no more 'Cause true raw emotion Won't pay like before

Fun! Charmining vocals, sharp and timely lyrics. And makes me want to be in a tavern! We love Irish folk tunes in our family - so much fun to play and sing!
