Added some percussion (shaker/maraca on second verse and chorus, tambourine on 2nd chorus).
Stems coming momentarily
(and for anyone who worries about needing expensive instruments, these are my daughter's toy instruments. The maraca was one of a set of two for a dollar in the Target dollar section. lol:)
Stems!
lyrics:
Blame it on the green light
you're turning me on
blame it on the yellow light
when you start to yawn
yeah you just yawn
what's going on?
you always yawn
what's going on?
Blame it on the red light
when you say good night
can't forget those good nights
can't forget those good nights
on the road
you're so nice to know
Is it you inside my head?
is it you or what mama said?
am i mislead
by your color changing eyes?
They say it's time for bed
and I can't sleep here tonite
but thats alright
Blame it on the red light
when you say good night
can't forget those good nights
won't forget those good nights
on the road
you're so nice to know
a lil' background for the Road collab: the song was started on a long car drive home from an unrequited love situation (traffic light idea). The twist here is that where once I was hung up by a situation like this ("whoa is me"), now I felt at peace. It literally was like "well good night", I got on the road, and then just started feeling good like - "hey, she's really nice to know. I had a great time tonight regardless how it ended". life goes on.
so, that's the shift I try to convey in the chorus.
I tried the song in a couple of musical formats and thought I'd give it a shot with theTenant's inspiringly sweet tune and there ya have it

I dreamt last night that the alarm clock spoke 'Did you know that there's a special button that slows down bed time in the morning?' Press the button so I did...it really... |
