about

I picked up my guilele to write a song and ended up with lyrics inspired by the songwriting and recording process. Naturally, a little upbeat song written on guilele morphed into a full band rendition, played in a different key with guitars blazing.

I have been enamored with the creation and experimentation of recording ever since I started recording with my father's 4-track recorder many years ago. This is an ode to that creation process... also I used it as a good excuse to yell some rock and roll things, use exclamation points in my lyrics and make some noise with guitars.

lyrics

Punch it Up! - February 1, 2021

Here goes nothing!
By nothing, I mean something
By something, I mean everything

Anything goes
Ears and eyes, I know
I sense the feeling, here we go

CHORUS:
Gonna break it down
Going to punch it up
Let it roll around
Until we've had enough
Then rewind and we'll play it all again

Metronomic
Go Supersonic!
Honey, drop the beat

The basis for this melody is to chase
away the melancholy
Goodness Gracious Golly! I believe!

Bang! Boom! Hiss!
Clang! Jump! Bliss!
Press play/record, we can't miss!

It winds me up, aligns me right
Calibrate it until it seems alright
Maybe I am biased or over-biased but I think it sounds just fine.
Tell them, “We're alright!”
