new song

at the request of dear old da', i'm posting my latest original addition to big pants. it's just a good-time reggae song. it's designed to make people move, and the lyrics aren't too terribly deep. still, it's got a good groove, and i love playing it. verses are primarily B7 A7, except for the "let's make some music tonight" line, which is C7 D7 B7.

(since dear old da' is concerned about the legalities of blogs, i will now post this disclaimer: i do not smoke pot, nor do i condone the smoking of pot... in spite of what timmy and cnn think)

burning cinder

everybody needs a paradigm shift
a new way to move for that righteous uplift
so put down that beer and light up that spliff
and let's make some music tonight (x2)

everybody needs somewhere to go
a person or place to call their own
so get off that chair and get on the dance floor
and let's make some music tonight (x2)

--solo--

everybody needs someone to love
someone for whom to thank the good lord above
so hold your baby's hand tight like a glove
and let's make some music tonight (x2)

everybody needs a shot in the dark
a burning cinder to help rekindle that spark
so listen to yourself and follow your heart
and let's make some music tonight (x2)

rap section - yes, i rap
we're not shopping around demos
or trying to ride in limos
we're just rocking the faithful
from the get-go
with a sound so genuine
since i can't remember when
we like to make it interesting
for you folks in steamboat
now you might think you heard styles and styles of rhymes
but you didn't know what you were missing until you came across mine
big pants is known to rock a party time after time, side by side, line by line
and if you like big pants then give us a sign
come see us at braun's every other saturday at nine

word up. peace out to my peeps across the nation. respect!

big pants plays braun's tomorrow night, and finally it's our first paid show there. tonight after work, the irie sounds of steel pulse will rock the yampa valley with a free show at howelsen hill. can't wait.

over and out.
