Mel Gibson: Actor, Director, Producer and Songwriter?

As yet another sign of Mel Gibson’s rapid descent into madness, the Passion of the Christ director has co-authored lyrics to a newly released song.

The name of the song is “Say My Name” and it’s sung by Russian-born pianist and composer Oksana Grigorieva. With a name like that no wonder she’s asking people if they can say it?

The Ruskie is currently Gibson’s girlfriend and the label that released the song, Icon Records, is owned by—yes, you guessed it—Mel Gibson.

Here’s an excerpt from “Say My Name:”

“I got no way back home/ And every time my heart beats, it’s one less that remains…The future contrives to draw me in its wake/ I’m not afraid of leaving, if I know why and when/ I’ll have to walk a few more miles before you say my name again/ My name again.”

Remember when this guy was actually cool?

Gibson, a class “A,” bona fide, certified, nut job, proves how easy it is to write song lyrics (although it’s very difficult to write great song lyrics).

All Gibson did, and all you have to do, is incorporate a few following words into your lyrics: again, alone, dark/darkness, desire, future, heart/heartbeat, home, leave/leaving, know, love, name, passion, today, tomorrow, walk/walking, and why.

If you stick to these words you should have no problem composing an album full of song lyrics.

Here’s something we quickly whipped up:

Again you know why/ my heart is leaving home/ love is walking away / tomorrow I’ll be alone/ in the future there’ll be love/but today I know only incongruities

You always want to throw one multiple syllabic word in there to make it appear like you have command of the language of English. Here’s another:

Darkness knows only tomorrow/ walking alone again with my future/ why is she leaving the coordinates today/ love’s heart has no name

You see it’s quite simple. It’s quite bad and we have no idea what it any of it means but it looks and reads like real song lyrics… then again so do Gibson’s words.

Writing song lyrics doesn’t necessarily qualify you for the funny farm, but in Gibson’s case it does. In your 50’s is no time to pursue your dream of being the next Tim Rice or Bernie Taupin. Put the pen down Mel and go back to making those bombastic, pompous movies where no one speaks English.

Heck, Lethal Weapon 5 would be less embarrassing than this.
