Number One
by @paulmilne
Liner Notes
I was getting lost in a maze of lyrics for a terribly serious song, so I decided to shake it out and do something trivial but fun. Think Phil Collins's Dance into the Light for the kind of groove I'm going after.
Demo to come. Definitely.
Lyrics
Number One Just get it out of the way Number One The first one of the day Number One You got something to say Number One It's gonna be more than okay It's gonna be more than okay It's gonna be okay!
(Music)
You can dance Get up on your feet You can dance Shake it on down the street You can dance Who knows who you'll meet You can dance Just dig that crazy beat Yeah dig that crazy beat Dig the beat!
(More music)
Sing out loud Make your voices heard Sing out loud Sing it just like a bird Sing out loud The last thought that occurred Sing out loud Even if it sounds absurd So what if it sounds absurd Sing the absurd!
(Even more music)

Yes! A definite groove is required!

The only way to push out 14 tracks in a month. Get inspiration from anything and everything. Looking forward to the demo.
This one is going to take a bit more thinking, can't really hear it properly yet...

I'm looking forward to hear what you do with this musically.
So am I!

Love the mood. I can get very wrapped up in my head when writing too. Great reminder that sometimes the best way through is to switch mindsets and go in a new direction. It unlocks the brain!
Hi Leslie and thanks for the comment! I was just wandering down dark paths in my original song and fetting nowhere so I just thought feck it, I'll get back to this later and get some energy into my first track.

As first-of-FAWM track this ticks all the boxes. In fact it's pretty much a hymn to getting the thoughts inside out. A fanfare, even. "Sing the absurd!" Absolutely!
Glad you like it so much! I'm going to try to have fun with this one.

Sometimes trivial but fun is what everyone needs! I can imagine this being a rather joyful dance number... especially after you mention Phil Collins.
