I love songs like this. I love singers like this, moments and lyrics like this. The emotion is raw. The notes are there. Chills. Love it. so much smiles, so much good.
I've been listening to Dear Lucy on repeat for the last couple of weeks, it's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever heard, but watching these two perform makes it even better aaaaaaAAAA!!!! What a pure, perfect song!
This song is from a musical called CIRCLES and it is in the midst of being workshopped right now :) ALSO... there will be a recording of DEAR LUCY on my upcoming album being released at some point in February!
You should know that there is a short film of this story called “More Together” on BroadwayHD and there’s a soundtrack album to boot. I stumbled on it last week and it’s worth checking out.
They're two of the best songs I've ever heard (sung by two excellent singer/actor/performers)--thank you for your brilliant contribution to world culture.
DEAR LUCY So I'm bored to the point of snoring 'Cause some dork caught the flu this morning And decided not to join me in math today thanks So I'm writing you this letter To say I hope you're getting better But you missed out on Mr. Jenkins pull a classic "Mr. J" And the way I sat We have a little bit more together Just waiting for you to walk through that door Or the way I laughed Imagining the times we shared before Maybe it's the other night, or the fact that we hooked up But when I looked up And saw you were gone, I realized We have a little bit more together And I know we've been friends forever But the truth is- And I'm not afraid to say it- I love you, Lucy More than you will know Can't get you out of my mind Out of my mind So I hope this doesn't scare you away I think about it every day Since 4th grade when we made our first trade My pudding for your PB&J Now that it's out on the line, I'd like to take this time To apologize for the other night And how the light hit your face And made me wanna kiss you We were moving too fast But you kissed back, so how could I resist? It was a great thing, it was a great night, it was the best night- It was my first time- And now I see We have a little bit more together And I know we've been friends forever But the truth is- And I'm not afraid to say it- I love you, Lucy More than you will know Can't get you out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind It's silly how this skinny little fillin' of vanilla flavor'd ever have a chance with you But it's thrilling Feels like every second's killing me unwillingly, I swear, it's like a million little dreams come true But I can't get with it Until you admit it That you love me- Lucy, do you love me, too? 'Cause if you do Oh if you do We have a little bit more together I can't get you out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind From Tom
DEAR TOM I just got your letter and yes I feel much better thanks for asking sorry I wasn't there to entertain you in math class today did mr. Jenkins do that thing where he straightens his toupee lol anyway Can't believe the words you had to say cuz lately I've been thinking that we've been friends forever so please understand my fear of screwin up something special getting scared with something real because I've wanted you and me together for the last four years I've givien up on that something i didn't it think it could be real So no need to sound poetic you're trying though I get it just be you cuz you is who I grew to like or whatever I could've said that better you is who I grew to adore so no more no more sorrys about the other night we were living in the moment we were doing what felt right so no more sorrys I won't have it because the other night was magic and after all there's a first time for everything we've been friends forever so please understand my fear of screwin up something special getting scared with something real because I've wanted you and me together through happiness and tears Ive given up on that something i didn't think it could be real I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real It's non stop the thought of you and I, the talks, robotic like a broken record you'd have to shake me to get me to stop my friends must hate me because I won't shut up And well I think your cute too Feeling like I'm living in a dream come And I can't feel the ground cuz I'm 30 feet above it but tomorrow is different because I'm falling in love I've been working up the courage for the past four years to tell you what I'm thinking and hoping it's what you want to hear because I've wanted you and Me together through happiness and tears I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real The answers yes tom I love you I can't believe that this is real
It never went into production. Drew Gasparini wrote the songs for it though, its called Circles. And I know: Im obsessed! And there isn't a musical to spend all of my savings to go see! If you just listen to the "I Could Use a Drink" album, with the ones Circles in the description, you can get the experience.
I think you're allowed to have your opinion. My opinion is that you should listen to other writers before comparing us to to those two writers. There are influences that come from all over and we are all trying our best to make something good, and new as we can. In MT writing story is key and that's what we all try to accomplish. Thanks for giving your opinion though.
I still hear this every once in a while for the last five years
I love songs like this. I love singers like this, moments and lyrics like this. The emotion is raw. The notes are there. Chills. Love it. so much smiles, so much good.
This is my new favorite thing in the whole world. I can’t stop watching it. I desperately want a studio recording of Dear Tom though.
Dear Tom is imperative

So sad that we never got this....we need you back Gasparini! We need your talent showcased on Broadway!
We got Skittles the Musical! But a recording of Dear Tom (w/ Emma) would be fanfreakingtantastic.
F just makes me smile... He's so good
Oh man, that second last "out of my mind"....
My school had a 'broadway night' and one of the performers sang Dear Lucy. So obviously I haven't stopped listening to this.
Did Circles ever end up coming to fruition? I hope so. This song and "Pinch Me" are so great.
I don't think so. I can't find a full version anywhere and that's sad
If it didn't imma put that into the roster of things to be sad of
You should know that there is a short film of this story called “More Together” on BroadwayHD and there’s a soundtrack album to boot. I stumbled on it last week and it’s worth checking out.
Almost 100,000 views. It deserves it.
I would give so much to see a musical/movie about this plot.
i keep coming back to this because i love it so freaking much like ahhhhhh
Awww... I am dying of sweetness!!! I can't stop grinning... Marry me, F! :)
Yes. Everything about this is yes.
This makes my heart smile
They're two of the best songs I've ever heard (sung by two excellent singer/actor/performers)--thank you for your brilliant contribution to world culture.
Michael Haynie - AMAZING 3:10.
but like 3:04 to the end of Dear Lucy is AMAZING omg!!!
F. Michael, you are incredible.
DEAR LUCY
So I'm bored to the point of snoring
'Cause some dork caught the flu this morning
And decided not to join me in math today thanks
So I'm writing you this letter
To say I hope you're getting better
But you missed out on Mr. Jenkins pull a classic "Mr. J"
And the way I sat
We have a little bit more together
Just waiting for you to walk through that door
Or the way I laughed
Imagining the times we shared before
Maybe it's the other night, or the fact that we hooked up
But when I looked up
And saw you were gone, I realized
We have a little bit more together
And I know we've been friends forever
But the truth is-
And I'm not afraid to say it-
I love you, Lucy
More than you will know
Can't get you out of my mind
Out of my mind
So I hope this doesn't scare you away
I think about it every day
Since 4th grade when we made our first trade
My pudding for your PB&J
Now that it's out on the line,
I'd like to take this time
To apologize for the other night
And how the light hit your face
And made me wanna kiss you
We were moving too fast
But you kissed back, so how could I resist?
It was a great thing, it was a great night, it was the best night-
It was my first time-
And now I see
We have a little bit more together
And I know we've been friends forever
But the truth is-
And I'm not afraid to say it-
I love you, Lucy
More than you will know
Can't get you out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
It's silly how this skinny little fillin' of vanilla flavor'd ever have a chance with you
But it's thrilling
Feels like every second's killing me unwillingly, I swear, it's like a million little dreams come true
But I can't get with it
Until you admit it
That you love me-
Lucy, do you love me, too?
'Cause if you do
Oh if you do
We have a little bit more together
I can't get you out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
From Tom
this is AMAZING. his voice is so pure and clear. well done!
Wow, classic old footage of Laura Branigan and Dan Hartman. Amazing find!
this is the song that made me fall in love with F. gah
soo good, unreall.
Out of my mind, is right! Pure brilliance, the both of you.
This is incredible. and awesome. and perfect.
I love this so much
tell me why I can't stop looking at the opposite person when one of them is singing
I totally get it. It's fun to watch them react to what the other is singing/saying.
Great acting I suppose!
IKR
YOU GAINES A NEW SUBSCRIBER :DDD
Sad that Dear Tom is not in the album :(
ugh why is there no recording of Dear Tom?? I downloaded Dear Lucy but I want the other one!
Wait, there's a recording of Dear Lucy?
AnjumSings itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-could-use-drink-songs-drew/id637832644
joeygillis Oh my gosh, you're the best!
Not going to lie, I ship it. Tom/Lucy OTP.
I don't think it's really shipping if the whole song is about confessing their love for each other
Of course he is.
DEAR TOM
I just got your letter and yes I feel much better thanks for asking sorry I wasn't there to entertain you in math class today did mr. Jenkins do that thing where he straightens his toupee lol anyway
Can't believe the words you had to say cuz lately I've been thinking that
we've been friends forever so please understand my fear of screwin up something special getting scared with something real because I've wanted you and me together for the last four years I've givien up on that something i didn't it think it could be real
So no need to sound poetic you're trying though I get it just be you cuz you is who I grew to like or whatever
I could've said that better you is who I grew to adore
so no more no more sorrys about the other night we were living in the moment we were doing what felt right so no more sorrys I won't have it because the other night was magic and after all there's a first time for everything
we've been friends forever so please understand my fear of screwin up something special getting scared with something real because I've wanted you and me together through happiness and tears Ive given up on that something i didn't think it could be real I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real
It's non stop the thought of you and I, the talks, robotic like a broken record
you'd have to shake me to get me to stop my friends must hate me because I won't shut up
And well I think your cute too
Feeling like I'm living in a dream come
And I can't feel the ground cuz I'm 30 feet above it but tomorrow is different because I'm falling in love
I've been working up the courage for the past four years to tell you what I'm thinking and hoping it's what you want to hear because I've wanted you and Me together through happiness and tears I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real I've given up on that something I didn't think it could be real
The answers yes tom I love you I can't believe that this is real
Sorry if some words are wrong she didn't articulate much in a few fast parts I had no idea what she was saying 😅
Thanks. I like how you wrote the two parts separated, like they were the letter themselves.
Ok, so I've heard these songs everywhere, but I can't find anything about the actual musical. Did the musical end up happening????
It never went into production. Drew Gasparini wrote the songs for it though, its called Circles. And I know: Im obsessed! And there isn't a musical to spend all of my savings to go see! If you just listen to the "I Could Use a Drink" album, with the ones Circles in the description, you can get the experience.
Is Dear Tom recorded anywhere?
Caitlyn Shiner Yeah, its on "I could use a drink" on spotify, but trust me this recording is better
Profound Pupster dear Tom isn't
Ana A Opps yes your right, my b

Drew Gasparini ive been dreaming of this musical for the last 4 years
I want to marry you both
