It’s a song about death, a song about creation,
a song about dreams, and a song about redemption
It’s a song you remember, a song you can’t forget
It’s a song you may have heard or maybe haven’t heard it yet
But it’s just a song
but it helps carry you on
through the hard times
when you fall apart
Yes, it’s just a song
but it helps carry you on,
keeps you strong,
and moving on
It’s a song that makes you laugh, a song that makes you cry
It’s a song that helps you live and sometimes makes you die
It’s a song you remember, a song you can’t forget
It’s a song you may have heard or maybe haven’t heard it yet
Oh, it’s just a song
but it helps carry you on
through the difficult times
and the path that you are on
Oh, it’s just a song
but it helps carry you on,
keeps you strong,
and moving on
They’re words about death, words about creation,
words about dreams, and words about redemption
Words you can remember and words you can’t forget
Words you may have heard or words you haven’t heard quite yet
Oh, it’s just a song
but it helps keep you strong
through the hard times
when you feel you’re gonna fall apart
It’s just a song
but it helps carry you on
through the difficult times
and the path that you are on
It’s a melody that makes you laugh, a melody that makes you cry,
melody that helps you live, and a melody that makes you die
It’s a melody you can remember and a melody you can’t forget
A melody you may have heard or maybe haven’t heard quite yet
It’s just a song
It helps carry you on
through the difficult times
and the road you are on
It’s just a song
It helps keep you strong
through the hard times
it keeps you moving on
It’s just a song that makes you laugh, a song that makes you cry,
a song that helps you live, a song that helps you die
It’s a song you can remember and a song you can’t forget
It’s a song you may have heard or maybe haven’t heard quite yet
About Just A Song
So much of the lyrics of this song came out instantly and on the spot in the studio. There was a draft idea but the way the chorus came out differently was something I ended up being really happy with. It’s a special song to me and I hope you enjoy it.
Setting: Played live in the studio. No punch-ins or different takes. Warts and all.
Autotune or pitch correction: Fuck that. I’m not AI.
Recommendation: Listen alone with headphones, late at night in the dark or by candlelight, possibly naked.
Year of Creation: 2012
