Song 1 of The Magnus Musical! It's not done, I've got to find sounds to create a more dynamic song, and ideally someone else sings it. But this is how it goes:
Please tell me what you think, but don't be rude if you don't like something /gen
Also, any negative comments about my voice get immediately blocked.

My name, Jonathan Sims
Recording on this dusty old thing
My job, Head Archivist
For the Magnus institute in London
Position received under Gertrude's leave
Her mess of a system left for me to sync
Reasearch on the paranomal
Investigating these
Come here
Submit a statement
Put it in the Archive
For the Archive holds everything
… [Spoken] Although it's a mess. Thankfully I have two assistants, well, 3 I guess. But Martin hardly counts, he'll only cause delays.
[Sung] They'll research and I'll insert
Information on each case
at the end of our time
Heading through the Archive
[Spoken] Speaking of time, it's time to begin reading
The statement of one Nathan Watts
Given during April of 2012
Encountering something in Edinborough
And here's what he says happened
{Notes: For this next bit, anything italicized is sung by Both Jonathan and Nathan. Also Time Change}
Jonathan + Nathan
Memories of the event, calling forward now
It's been years, yet the mind is clear
I see what happened then
Can you tell me what happened when
I was studying biochemistry, I happen to be
In a flat full of second years, Younger than me
Partying with a friend, drunk in a funk
Walking home, late at night
Only, something strange did I hear
Something asked me:
"Can I have a cigarette"
I could not see whoever they -or is it he?
Seemed to be.
An alleyway stranger
Swaying I assumed them drunk and not a danger
But then something seemed off, their face was sunken in
An anglerfish, drawing me with the light of their question
Yet their mouth moved none, and I wanted a closer look
Shined my phone light and off it went
I researched and yet no folklore, no mention of ghosts nearbye
And yet, a disappearance of a friend caught my eye
Same party, and yet he left later than I
And cigarettes, my brand, in his pocket by chance.
Jonathan:
In light of this statement read
I thought to be discredited and dead
Except Sasha, an assistant, looked a bit into this
And found missing persons reports of six
Yet the phone of one reveals a hand
Beckoning, beckoning still
Heyo it's ya girl actually doing Dannymay today!!! Yeet!!!
This is probably the best time to actually reveal this, so here it goes,,,
I've been procrastinating working on a Danny Phantom musical!!! Haha yeah I know I'm not a professional song writer by any means I was just bored so yeah I thought for the music day that sharing a song from it would be appropriate so here's the song! My voice is shit because it's meant to be Danny singing, and I am not a male or even a singer, so yeah and I do mess up but that was the last recording I could make.
Anyways this song is called Can't Tell My Family and please excuse there being no background music, I can't do that. Some pauses or lyric changes might be awkward but I imagine music there so yeah. I also can't do audio backgrounds so enjoy the black screen.
Lyrics+ bonus what I imagine the talking would be before the song:
Tucker:
with your powers, you could be a hero!
Danny:
A hero? Why that?
Tucker:
I mean, you have everything except the tragic backstory. Or wait, your tragic backstory is you died. Get it? Ha! Just think about it man, okay? You did great saving our asses back there against the robot man. Who knows what else you could do. See ya.
*tucker leaves, danny is left alone*
Danny:
When did my life get so complicated
When did my friends influence my heart
How can I sit here knowing the truth
That I was the one who had this all start
A foolish mistake
Me trying to help
And a stunt that ended
With my name being whelp
My life is a mess
And it's far from alive
So it's time to confess
My plan to survive
My plan to survive
I never wanted this
I never needed to fly
All I ever wanted is to be a normal guy
But I know that this is real
And that it's not a fantasy
It's nothing I can heal
And I can't tell my family
Oh no
No no
I can't tell my family
Now I'll never get to space
And I might never climb high
And now I'll never find another as unique as I
But still I wish
That I didn't just die
And still I can hope
That I'm just a normal guy
And now Tucker's like a child
Overflowing with glee
Looking at the prospects
Of what I could be
He wants me to a hero
He wants me to lend a hand
But he's not inside my shoes
He could never understand
I can't see myself doing that gig one day
Cause frankly it seems boring
And it's way too much cliche
I don't know why I am like this
I don't know why I can fly
But I know my life is changing
And I'm far away from being
Your average normal guy
Your average normal guy
I never wanted this
I never needed to fly
And all I've ever wanted
Is to be a normal guy
But I know that this is real
And that it's not a fantasy
It's not something to heal
And I can't tell my family
Oh no
No no
I can't tell my family
(Also if anyone wants to try to sing it better or make background music please feel free to!)
