about

The demo for this song was originally posted at patreon.com/mikeymason on February 28th, 2021.

I'm a fan of saying that roleplaying games create memories of events that never actually happened, at least not in the real word, that can feel just as real and impactful as memories of things that totally happened in the real world. And that's where “Let’s Fake Some Memories” came from.

This song was originally created through the support of my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, Randy Brown, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Josh Logan, Michael Khandelwal, Stephany McNulty, Scot Mealy, Ame Morris, Amy Stuart, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen and John R Woolard.

lyrics

Another day of selling all my time,
Of showing up for someone else’s problems.
Another day where I can’t speak my mind,
Of wondering if this is hitting bottom?
The minutes and the seconds creeping by,
Shackled here by bills and mouths to feed.
And even though my day has gone awry
A five o’clock solution’s all I need.
That timeclock revolution comes and suddenly I’m free…
Let’s fake some memories. Let’s go somewhere that no one’s seen,
Where we’ll still have never been when we get home.
Let’s fake some memories, Step into a different scene,
Somewhere we could never get to all alone.
So close your eyes and don’t think twice
Just grab your books and grab your dice, Let’s fake some memories.
Sitting here surrounded by my friends,
Feeling part of something more than real.
Stepping into someone else’s skin
In tales of magic spells and flashing steel
Where legends come to life and where new worlds will be revealed…
Let’s fake some memories. Let’s go somewhere that no one’s seen,
Where we’ll still have never been when we get home.
Let’s fake some memories, Step into a different scene,
Somewhere we could never get to all alone.
So close your eyes and don’t think twice
Just grab your books and grab your dice, Let’s fake some memories.
Defying explanation, more than hype or exclamation,
It’s inspired collaboration through a game we love to play.
So much more than fighting dragons, all these worlds that we imagine
All these things that never happened feel as real as yesterday…
Let’s fake some memories.
Let’s fake some memories, Let’s go somewhere that no one’s seen
Where we’ll still have never been when we get home
Let’s fake some memories, Step into a different scene
Somewhere we could never get to all alone.
So close your eyes and don’t think twice
Just grab your books, let’s roll some dice, Let’s fake some memories.
