Theme: Simple

lyrics

CHORUS

I want to write a simple song
One that sticks in people's craniums long after it has gone
And when they hear it on the radio and start to sing along
I get a warm feeling inside cause people like a sing I've done
And we sing la la la la la la la la la la la la


Sometimes, I struggle to find the time to write the song in my minds eye, or try to write the type of track I'd like to write this week or spend the time on sound design to get the beat to sound just right, or the synths to sound sublime

Truth is, I actually had something different recorded for this week, it was slightly different sounds over a similar beat. And I decided that I liked it and that maybe I'd like to try make something more of it in a week where I had more time

CHORUS

What's the point of this track? Well I was getting disheartened and wanted to write something, anything, pardon the manner of fact way I'd in fact say this exact phrase: Wait, I'd rather put it in song that tell you to your face

Sometimes, I feel like these songs don't count, like the short ones, or the joke ones, or the single instrument cop-outs. And time I agree is my enemy, I'd be the first to admit it, but sometimes I need to sit down with a pen and some paper and think about doing some work on my lyrics

And it's not just words, I feel there's loads of places where I'm not put through my paces and I know the way to face this, but my issue comes back to time, and in my mind I must resign myself that I can't be master of all trades but sometimes jack is just fine
