Recently, in a certain semi-exclusive power-pop related chat room Peter Gill of 2nd Grade posted (and I’m paraphrasing) “There’s nothing more satisfying than a song that has I IV V progression with someone singing “I want you” in the chorus” I not only agree with him, but I took it as a personal challenge to try my hand at writing a song with those ingredients.
I Want You
Thinking ‘bout the crime The time you might have Slunk into the waiting room You said a single line I find, I pine at the first sight of you The boss is away I say in a not-so-pleasant tone There’s a price you’ve gotta pay They say for always keeping on your headphones If you want the job I think you might be overqualified… Between here and there We’ll have our share Of small catastrophes Put the lamp next to the chair Let down our hair And keep things in parenthesis The kids are alright We say goodnight in feather down soft tones Leave the bills we have to pay Do what we may Forget about our cell phones If you want the job I think you might be overqualified I want you
What do you think of this song?
