Song #2 of Subscription Song Series #100Songs
I’m happy to say I’ve completed the second chapter in my 3 song series for the month of January. This one is called “Wait for the Beep.” I’m awfully proud of this one. I wrote three songs in series using the same looped background sound, to me like a visual artist might use the same canvas or back ground and depict different images on top of it. I had a tough time with this one and had to re-write some sections, but the parts which were the most challenging turned out to be the most moving pieces of the song. Thanks for subscribing, please spread the word to your friends and family and help make this a big thing, these new songs are some of my best, and I’d really like the world to hear! Next week, since I’m traveling to NYC for a performance with Jeffrey Lewis, I will be releasing a song which is not in this series of three. The final and best chapter of the series will be in the last week of January. So much fun! Without further ado…
Download Right-click and select “Save as…”WAIT FOR THE BEEP
Wait, wait for it, wait for the beep, I hear it coming
It, it’s on, it’s on it’s way, don’t you deny it
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
I need, I need it, I need money to survive, need money to survive
Or be, be out on the, out on the streets, out on the streets again
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
Walking down the street in this poor city
I’m making ends meet, but just, and for how long? What if something happens?
I got no backup, no pension, I’ve got a kid to feed. What if I can’t?
I’m working hard just to make it, make it onto dry land
I tread water then make a swim for it
A mad dash in an ocean made of need.
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
Wait, wait for it, wait for the beep, I feel it coming
It, it’s on, it’s on the street, out on the street again
We need, we need… but we can’t buy it
We need, we need… need to survive
We need a leader, someone to help us, someone who’s agenda is not controlled by money
A super hero, someone who cares, who’ll get us onto dry land
We’re in an ocean, treading water, getting tired, our lungs are filling
Gonna make a mad dash in an ocean made of need.
I need, I need… need to survive.
