2 songs in 1 week!

Strat1958

Late-blooming songwriter!
After a 7 year stretch without creating a single song, this month I have written two.

This one, ironically, is called "I Want To Write A Song".

I recorded the basic tracks this afternoon and will finish/post it this week. It's kinda rockabilly-ish.

EDIT: Here's the first draft.
I WANT TO WRITE A SONG

No idea what's going on, just got out of my own way I suppose...

Here are the lyrics.

I WANT TO WRITE A SONG
© Mike Pilling 2019

V1
Rented a house in old Cape Cod
Try to inspire myself
I had so many parts of songs
In a book up on the shelf

Maybe with the wind and waves
A song will fly into my head
A spark will fire the creative muse
That seems to have dropped dead

CH
I want to write a song
One that everybody hums
I want to get the message out
But my mind has just gone numb

I want to write that next great tune
Wanna hear it on the radio
I know it’s in there somewhere
Just gotta let it grow
Let it grow

V2
So I wrote some stuff about seabirds
And the boats across the bay
The ordinary things you see
On an ordinary day

But you know it didn’t take too long
For me to realize
The inspiration’s everywhere
You just gotta use your eyes

CH
I want to write a song
One that everybody hums
I want to get the message out
But my mind has just gone numb

I want to write that next great tune
Wanna hear it on the radio
I know it’s in there somewhere
Just gotta let it grow
Let it grow
Yeah let it grow
