MAKE IT MINE

This song is a total re-work of a tune I posted
a couple years back. It was originaly a sort of
tribute to the writing team of Donald Fagen and
Walter Becker, but I have re-written the lyrics
in the first verse to reference all of our musical
heroes who have left the stage. It's about dealing
with, as a musician, getting older and trying to keep
up with this rapidly changing world around us. My
main purpose for this one though, is to encourage everyone to
not stress about not "keeping up" with current trends
and just keep making the music that brings joy to
your life! Not trying to win a Grammy here, just want
to have a little fun!!

Thanks for having a listen! T

They taught us to play
Now look they've left the stage
Where did our heroes all go
They'd tell us it's wrong
To stop singing our song
So we've gotta keep keepin' on

Racing the clock and the beat won't stop
And the rhythm's speedin' up with the time
I'm feeling the future bearing down on me
But I'm still gonna make it mine

Don't shake my hand don't breath on me
You know that's the way they say it's gotta be
This brand new world It don't fit me
I'm not quiting now I'm in way too deep

Racing the clock and the beat won't stop
And the rhythm's speedin' up with the time
I'm feeling the future bearing down on me
But I'm still gonna make it mine
