THE CONCEPT
Andrew makes songs based on your ideas.
And sometimes he just makes songs.
But anyway, suggest something?

NEW CHAPTER
It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)
Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

NEVER (EXTENDED)
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
I’ve downloaded a number of your songs and found many to be funny and entertaining. But this song… this song made on a silly request turned into something more, something that is lacking from pop music of the day, it is just amazing. So, I am serious about paying you to finish the song. It deserves to be finished. Someone has to do it.
My feeling is that you should not re-record the first part, but end the piano quicker after “moved on”. After a short pause, the song should start with the first drum hit (yeah… percussion) and guitar note all at the same time, with the same music that is currently at 16 seconds, plus added instruments.

That was epic. Thank you so much Andrew, and the anonymous person who paid for it. :D
Love this song!!
Beautiful!
Holy crap man. It’s hard enough to live up to people’s expectations…much less blow them out of the water.
Andrew you have blown my mind several times already, but seriously this song is so unbelievably full of emotion and recorded so professionally, if you’d release it and got some radios to play it I think you could sell a ton of singles.
OH. MY. YES.
This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard (Professional or Otherwise).
Keep up the phenomenal work Andrew!
oh my god man!
please tell me you’ve thought about going proffesional, if you this popular on the internet imagine the impact you could make on the WORLD
were all rooting for you
I guess I’m in the minority here…
I didn’t really like the song. >_>
It was very well put together (though I thought the percussion was a bit much), but I didn’t like the tune itself. That can’t be helped, though.
The rock band was a bit much for me, but I liked it. :D
I love this song so much, I’ve been listening to it over and over again, non-stop. I’m actually sad, because I’m at work right now, and I’m finishing in 5 minutes, which means there’ll be a 25 minute bus ride on the way home during which I won’t be able to listen to this beautiful piece. =( Putting it on my iPod as soon as I get home.
EPIC WIN!
I cried.
This is a glorious day. *clappity*
And now, deathcore version!
Wow. I check to see if there are any new songs, and instead I get a masterpiece. Today is officially a good day.
Wonderful, completely. I can even relate to the song, which makes me feel it more. I’ve never found a song that can help me entirely relate, but this really helped me understand how I feel, and helped me out.
To the anon who paid for this, THANK YOU. I was actually pretty close to asking my parents to pay for a finished version as a birthday present for me, but looks like you beat me to it.
Andrew, you also rock. Like I just said, I was close to paying for it myself. I… I practically screamed when I saw this. Instant download, instant favorite. Thank you both, Anon and Andrew.
This song sounds than the cries of babies being punched in the face. We never forgive. We never forget. We are legion.
You made me cry a tear. An actual, factual tear. … I never in my life thought that Songs to Wear Pants To would make me cry ANYTHING but tears of laughter.
How in the name of all that is multigrain did you get me to cry!? Nothing’s made me cry since I deliberately tried for stress purposes by rewatching Once Upon a Forest and the Fox and the Hound!
You… … thanks. I needed that.
I would also like to add that the mild feeling of euphoria I got while the tear was rolling down my cheek soared the instant I heard, near the end of the song, “Come home” pleaded over and over again.
How… still, how in Halifax did you do that?
I feel…
I feel delighted that there is more of it, because it’s beautiful,
but… a little sad because I thought it was perfect just as it was. I liked that it was just a ‘glimpse’ of this enormous emotional event… but thank you for doing this, Andrew. You’ve made many people very happy. Would it be creepy to say I love you? :)
Was it difficult for you to do this after all this time of fighting the pressure to extend it?
Also, I really don’t understand what people are talking about when they ask you to go professional because YOU ALREADY ARE! All the very best to you. You are wonderful and I will be requesting a song from you (maybe more than one!) as soon as I can pay you. Until then…xx
Goosebumps.
That’s all I need to say.
Well, as the “anonymous” person who paid to have this completed, I’m glad that it has received so many positive comments. So many of us thought that the original was just the tip of the iceberg, that I felt I had to help push it to completion. When Andrew showed me the lyrics, I suggested a number of things. He made a least one change based on my suggestion in the final song you hear here and even sent me an alternate version with one line changed, that I suggested. I like both versions. I’m glad everyone got to hear the song, and I got a little special version for my effort. I’m glad I paid to have the song completed.
Many thanks, Mr. Andrew. This song is just further proof how you can make beautiful music that really touches people even if you have never met them.
This song doesnt have an A right? What about the end.. ple(A)se come home.
Wow, i feel stupid, i was totally thinking of the song lonely. Sorry! This is a great song. ignore my last comment.
Sometimes i think Andrew makes awesome songs that are less than a minute long to get people to pay him to extend it :P
And that is one hell of a good Tactic xD
Good Job, Andrew!
Makes me wonder how my ex is doing.
An epic song just got better. Thank you for doing this.
AMAZING!!!!
I’ve always wanted this song to keep going. Thank you. :)
touching truly touching
and that’s coming from a death metal fan
I hate this song…… only because it directly applys to me.
I haven’t commented on this site before, but this song made me. It is quite brilliant. Keep up the astounding work.
just wow
Whoaaahh this is your best song.
Loved this, and the first one. I didn’t enjoy the percussion addition that much, but it does sound a lot better now than before.
*sigh* I only wish that this was on itunes…
Wow… This is one of the most beautiful sad songs I’ve heard.
It deserves to be played from boom boxes under peoples windows for decades.
You’ve really outdone yourself.
Amazing Andrew. Purely amazing.
Thanks to the person who paid for this song, and thanks to you, Andrew, for finishing it up.
It’s a masterpiece at its finest.
Congrats.
<3
Finally!! I’ve waited years for this. And I swear, I just came to this side and was thinking, man, maybe today there will be an extended version of Never online and I loled. And WTF. There it is!! After all these years!! And I must say, it turned out pretty well!! I missed the piano a little bit in the louder part (I guess it was there anyway, but could not here it well), so I would have thrown in some quieter verses as well. Still, finally, thanks Andrew!! :)
Yeesh!
I’ve been wanting this song to be extended FOREVAR.
Yayzorz.
dang… you finally made the extended version. it great, not even great but a spectacular array of fun with pants….
This is how I felt when my girlfriend died…
wow, you beat me, mine just left, and wasnt even my GF yet, I was going to ask her out, but instead, she told me she had to move, and then kissed me on lips(my first kiss FTW) and I never saw or heard from her again. but dead girl beats mine. sorry man.
Dang, dude. You should release this as a single on iTunes. Release it to the radio. Release it somewhere!
I think Zippy Ragu deserves slight dedication here.
That’s just one of the most heart0breaking things that can happen in life, and bearing with that is just so hard to deal with. As sorry as we all are, there’s really no way we could even describe to the extent that we feel for you dude. I can only say, that I hope the best for you, and that you can live on to lead a successful life, and a good one at that. Best of wishes to you, Zippy.
Oh, lovely. I love the piano repetition, and the “come home” chorus bit, that got me a little choked up.
You’ve outdone yourself again.
Fantastic! That was beautiful.
This song is magic i luv it, totally put it on itunes your songs just always make me feel better Im popular cuz i memorize your songs lol keep goin
This song literally bought a tear to my eye. The emotion is so beautiful and the lyrics apply to my circumstances so well. My girlfriend left and the last thing I ever told her was “Tel Mrs. Bray that my Art is on the drying rack,”… Kind of pathetic huh? You have one more than my award for this song but my absolute admiration. Well done.
Oh my god. That was amazing. I usually HATE those kind of mopey love songs…. But this was beautiful. I had always hoped that this song would get extended… This was beyond anything I ever imagined… Andrew you are the coolest guy on the face of the plannet! ^_^; Well that is unless you count Gandalf… but he’s sort of fictional… so yeah…. >.<;
But yeah, That was awesome!
Dude, Andrew, I just got on this sight today and I must say… some of your songs made me laugh right out loud, but this one… this one left me speechless. Your raw emotion is amazing.
Bravo to you, my friend. Bravo.
Bravissimo, good sir. You never cease to amaze. I think an acoustic version of this might sound really nice, so I might just pay for it. But, I must say this is the best song I’ve listened to all year.
ANDREW YOUR AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!
I can relate…makes me sad
You need to get signed up with a record label or something and release this so I can hear it on the radio! Amazing!
I cryed! Andrew, you need to try out for American Idol!!! Your amazing. I can relate to this song, good job.
You’ve put me to tears, Andrew. I am more impressed than I have the ability to say. Every once in a great while, a song will come along that says exactly what you’ve always wanted to communicate, but never could find the words for. This is it. I needed this. I never knew it, but I needed it, and now I have it. A hole is filled. Thank you.
This is evidence of the great potential that might be out there in the world that might never be noticed. You could truly do something great my friend.
I listen to this song almost all the time. It’s absolutely and stunningly beautiful. Andrew, if you got a record deal, I would buy every record of yours that came out. Including the merchandise! Because….to tell you the truth…the song reminds me of an old friend who i’m never going to see again. It honestly makes me wonder…where is she now? We barely spoke since our school closed down. This is my favorite song.
dude, this was terrible. you have no potential whatsoever. i repeat. no. potential.
i kid i kid, i was getting sick of reading comment after comment of pure praise and almost worship…as good as i think you are you are nowhere near Gandalf!
curse you for making me tear up!
@PartyPooper-
But if there is a lot of praise, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Wouldn’t it mean that the song was good?
…..”Nowhere near Gandalf”…
since when was Gandalf a musical artist?
*now wants to hear Gandalf sing BADLY*
MUST.
yah the song was good my man, but there should be a line between telling him he’s good and praising him. listen-he knows hes good. people pay him to continue to do what he does. he doesnt need pages upon pages of worship to tell him that. and when i say “nowhere near Gandalf” i was referring to an earlier comment where someone said he was their Gandalf or something. im not gonna quote because i dont know what it said exactly. but thats all i was saying.
but, even saying that, you do have a point. if people want to tell the guy how much they love him, let them. i was just telling you how i felt as i scrolled down the page and saw all that.
OH WOW. I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE THE DAY YOU POSTED THE ORIGINAL. FULL VERSION IS GODLY.
This song made me melt inside.
I sent it to my ex.
He dumped me on my birthday.
This was exactly what I needed to hear,
Like he was talking to me.
Thanks to the Anon who paid and to Andrew, for making such beautiful music.
Brilliant. Somebody paid you to make this, and yet you managed to make it sound so genuine, especially when most of your work is parody. This is very inspiring.
dude. you keep pounding out amazing music. and this one ices the cake, bro! there’s so much feeling, passion. this song is so amazingly beautiful – and you deserve respect for all your work, man! this just… moved me. almost to tears, dude. amazing.
this is the first song i’ve purchsed from you, mr. andrew. i just did it.
@partypooper-
……..heh….sorry….>< I didn’t think of it that way…you’re right too…
This was amazing, you should send it in to your local radio station. Definitely!! And send it to one in Ottawa so we might hear ya over here.
I think I just might cry. The fact that it is sad and how incredible it is. Remember my sisters telling you that you had the voice of an angel? Wait until they hear this.. xD
im so glad you did this, i had wanted to hear more of this song, thank you for lengthening it, keep being awesome.
I really liked this song.
I have listened to your music for some time now.
I first found out about you on Newgrounds.com
The Touchtone Genius i believe the Flash Video was.
That was 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
godlike *breathe*
Andrew… your a genius…. like seriously man, your touching peoples hearts here!
You can uhm, edit my last comments to go as follows:
” Wow Andrew, your a genius… seriously man, you are touching peoples hearts here! ( I was just really in the moment when I wrote the comment and well, I’m vulgar.) Thanks so much for the music Andrew.
i loved the song because it was beautiful and i love sad songs. the only problem i have with the song is that i cant go back to your funny songs until my usual callous nature returns.
This song is like… I don’t know, it makes me feel more than a lot of music does. It’s brilliant. I love it.
I think this is possibly not about a break-up . . . all the lyrics to me seem to point to somebody whose boy/girlfriend died. Listen to it through those glasses and tears are guaranteed to flow!
congrats andrew and anonymous writer.
i also agree with anonymous up there. dude, go professional, you deserve it, ur fans deserve it, the whole world deserves it. good job,keep rocking and have a nice day.p.s. crunnnnnk!
i meant anonymous payer, not writer
Why is this song not on the radio?
one of the sweetest song you’ve ever made
one of the best songs you’ve ever made
Thanks to DVD (Anon) for missing the point of the original request.
Now I’m forced to debate whether I should pay to have this done right…
I laughed, I cried, it moved me dude. I seriously was moved to tears. I lost a wonderful lady through my own stupidity. I really wish you’d add a verse about bieng sorry, but that’s kinda sorta in a way what the whole song is about… regret. MASSIVE props dude. It was beautiful.
The unextended version was something special; I always wished it would go on longer. I’m glad someone paid you to extent it!
This is an incredible song, I don’t really have the words to describe how it makes me feel. Thank you for creating this.
I’m pretty sure if this song went on forever i would still never get bored of it. honestly one of my favorites:)
*tear
Lovely. D’: It makes me wanna cry.
Wow, you know in the years I’ve been on this site, I’ve never left a comment here… This song was really beautiful, but it kind of made me want to cry… It’s just that it reminds me of death, although not necessarily the song’s purpose, I guess it’s supposed to be about relationships but it just reminds me of a different kind of loss. Like “I never got so say goodbye, baby, goodbye… You’ll never come home….”
D:
Still beautiful though, great job, and thank you for touching so many of our lives through music!
First of all, amazing job with the song! Very beautiful, deep, emotional. Ironically enough, the girl I love is moving several states away during next summer. This song describes my emotions perfectly. Thanks, Andrew, for showing me how I feel :)
awwwww it sounded really beautiful :D
You know what, Andrew? This song is epic. The eccentric style of a 5/4 (or is that 10/4) beat is making my brain melt out of sheer awe. The music is what gets me, too. And the lyrics. Well, it’s epic in general. Stirs my emotions pretty well. If I’d like to cry, I’ll just listen to this and let myself.
The music shorts are a burst of genius, but this is history we’re talking about when we’re talking of Never. You can make songs that equal this one. So keep up the good work. Your talent, skills and equipment shall not be left unused.
Btw I’m a guy. :<
This is such a beautiful song. I’m glad it was extended, it’s really worth hearing the whole thing. Beautiful, and thank you the person who paid for it!
Wow my girlfriend has dumped me but this song sure made me happier, thanks for doing this and also to the person that paid to make it longer
I was playing this song to a friend after watching a film .. and her boyfriend walked in and asked if this was the song at the end of the film.
I can totally see this song featuring in films and as a great single!
Love it! :D
Dude! Fellow Strong and Manly Andrew! I agree with many others. You should go pro. I already know your first Album name. “Songs to wear shirts to” It would hit the market perfectly!!!!
My God, you are epic. Lot like the internet epic, but truly epic.
DUde, I love this song
Simply amazing. I remember 4 or so years ago when I downloaded all the music you’d put out, this was my favourite song by a mile. To come back after all this time and find this extended version and how it’s impacted such a larger audience, well, at the very least it gives me confidence in my taste. I love you and your music.
You win two Internets, good sir.
I put on pants to this song every day now.
Loved it the first time around and think the second time around is even better. I was wishing that this song was longer. Bravo to the guy who paid to finish it. Thanks buddy.
ps. I dont think the percussion is too much. Sounds great to me.
Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this it never gets old. I have never felt the urge to call a piece of music art before but this is it. Its beautiful and works on so many levels. Its strange that this song is kind of sad but makes me smile even so.
I cried. I really did. This was just that awesome.
$8000 for a video of the song I not only paid to have extended but suggested how to extend. Wow.
Today, I was feeling depressed because we just came back from the site of our favorite restaurant in town, which we found out closed when we got there. When I got home, I played Never on my PC, and it remided us that we hadn’t checked the site in a long time. She decided to see what was new. She typed “never” in the search box and I pratically collaped when I saw the words “Never Video”. So then, I read every comment, and they are all positive.
I just don’t know what to say. I’ve always felt an extended version of this song would be Andrew’s ticket to the big leagues, but seeing it make this new step is just amazing. Right on, Andrew! Everyone, tell all your friends about it; watch it on youtube; go out and buy it.
As I said on another one of these songs, there are few songs out there that are TRULY epic, and a large quantity of the ones on this site are among them.
…
I’m at a loss for words.
This is really something, Mr. Pants.
Perhaps you should make longer songs more often.
sorry for the double post, but I have one more comment I just realized.
On a site where about half the songs are novelties, and given the joking original request, I have a feeling that you wrote this about someone in particular, or else you would have written a joke song. This would also explain the large amount of personal emotion.
Andrew, whatever happened, I sympathize with you, and wish you best of luck.
Man, Ive heard that one before, but some how it sounds way more personal to me these days.. Almost cried on the short version and did cry on the long version. This song is very personal to me and surely to you as it seem to have come out in the music, that and the request had nothing to do with the subject..
Very nice!! You’ve got some skills!
I never would have thought that this song originally started out as a thoughtless request that the requester probably thought was going to be funny. But then it turned into this amazing song. And NOW Andrew is making a video for it! Amazing!
I love you
Thank you. You have touched us all.
This needs to be spread as much as possible.
It’s touching, heartfelt, pure emotion.
Thank you.
This describes my recent life perfectly.
wow…
I need this song to be shareable… Facebook, Stumbleupon, Twitter, the works. Give us the buttons. Please.
oh… i thought he was just making fun of people who write this kind of stuff when the first version of this song waas out… does that make me shallow?
okay, you need to put up the notes for piano and guitar chords somewhere. anywhere. i just need to learn how to play this. if i could just learn drums…
AWESOME ISANLEY AWESOME
i wish i was rich… then i would make a recording company… then I’ll make u famous! :D
Andrew, which is also my brother’s name, you have an amazing talent that isn’t recognized by so many people. It needs to be. This song is really what I have right now and have had for over a year. Thanks for being serious for once.
Andrew, this is excellent cut!
you rock man!
I can’t get enough of you. I just can’t. this song exeeds my epectations. It peaked my feelings. It gave me goosesbumps. It has inspired me. You have inspired me. And for that, I tip my hat to you. You are a legend, and nothing less.
Everyone says he should go to a recording company, when that doesn’t seem like something he really wants for himself, that is something you guys want. He obviously enjoys what he does, and doesn’t feel like making a legitimate record. I mean, sure encourage him, but recognize that what he wants doesn’t seem to be “get rich” but to live a life he is happy to live.
Also I loved the song, listening to such funny stuff, then when you click on this it completely mindfucks you =P
I enjoyed this song very much!
If it makes you feel any better, I got to say goodbye once, and I assure you you’re not missing much. Then again, I suppose I did forget to add in “baby.” Hmm.
MISSED OPPORTUNITIES! I SHOULD HAVE CALLED HER BABY! MAYBE THEN SHE COULD HAVE BEEN MY BABY!
Wow… this is amazing. Most of your songs are silly (to me) and seem light hearted… this… holy God on a tortilla man, this gave me extream goosbumbs and teary eyes!
:)
This song has heart and soul! Keep up the good work, just found the site and the channel today, will keep checking!
This is awesomesauce. Period.
Do you have sheet music for this?
As always and as everyone has said. You are amazing Andrew, let there never be a day when your music stops.
I shall tell you a song in 5/4 that has no percussion: (Technically not a song… but whatever)
