Well, I've been trying to finish this song for years but I don't think it's going to happen. There are lyrical religious undertones, (metaphors, whatever) Mary represents both Mary Magdalene and and a girl with a drug problem who ironically, could use religion to help her in that regard. Harry is your average Catholic (or any other organized religion, for that matter), who blindly follows the herd.

P.S. If anybody has any ideas about how to finish this thing, please share them with me because I really have tried my best :P

BTW, The double punctuation is intentional ;)

Mary, don't you listen
to the words I say (.) (?)
if it's scary then don't listen
just turn and run away.

Now Harry don't you listen (.) (?)
the writing is on the wall
but if it's scary then don't listen.
You know those tales I tell are tall.

Mary...oh Mary...
I need your gravity, Mary
I need your sound....

now Mary, don't you listen
to the words I say (!) (?)
if it's scary then don't listen

you will never catch the dragon, Mary
why you even try
sticking death into your veins

Now Mary, don't you listen
to the words I say (.) (?)
if it's scary then just don't listen

wow...

this song is amazing (and its incomplete!) theres not much i can say that the others below havent already said but its just wow.. i really hope you or someone can help you to finish this song because its too good to leave half finished in a closet like an old project a kid starts with his dad and never finished. props man.

Good

I like the instruments, but i don't like the lyrics

Monkeywithumbs responds:

Fair enough. Thanks #653 I really appreciate your input! Oh, and I am guessing that you passed the test??

Nice sound..

I think the energy doesn't get out of control and just swallow the song. Sometimes it can mess a whole song up. Nice job!

...

he is definitely not trying to seduce Mary, listen to the lyrics.

the music is really good, but the lyrics and how they are sung are both quite sketchy and awkward.

Monkeywithumbs responds:

"he is definitely not trying to seduce Mary, listen to the lyrics."
You are correct, sir! ;)

"the lyrics and how they are sung are both quite sketchy and awkward."
Yes, I agree. First of all, it is a work in progress and lastly, I can't sing :l

HMmm...

All I've got to ask is, are you trying to seduce Mary, or interrogate her? Because the long breaths are not helping at all for the song. Also: I thought you were going to start singing "enter sandman" :\
