Topic: I'm Just Here for the Music

I guess this relates to my experience so far on Myspace but it also applies to the rest of the world wide web, email, spam....and the like. Hope you like it.

I’m Just Here for the Music By Jeff Gilpin


March 24, 2007




Verse 1


[A]I’m not [F]here for the [A]money[F]


The [C]way some folks make [F]money is just [E]wrong[E7]


I’m [A]not here to [F]look at something [A]funny[F]


[C]I’m just [E]here to sing my [A]song




Verse 2


[A]I don’t need to [F]look at naked [A]women[F]


My [C]baby’s all the [F]woman that I need to [E]see[E7]


[A]I don’t care what [F]trouble Brittany [A]is in[F]


[C]Making [E]music is enough for [A]me




Chorus


I get [F]offers for [C]just about [E]every[A]thing


But [F]nothing [C]that can help me [E]sing[E7]


[F]Many [C]offers still [E]make me [A]sick


[C]I’m just [E]here for the [A]music




Verse 3


I’m not [A]here to [F]check up on my [A]kids[F]


They’re [C]on their own and they're [F]doing just [E]fine[E7]


I’m not [A]here be[F]cause I’m watching [A]sex vids[F]


I want[C]music to put to [E]words that I make [A]rhyme





Chorus


I get [F]offers for [C]just about [E]every[A]thing


But [F]nothing [C]that can help me [E]sing[E7]


[F]Many [C]offers still [E]make me[A]sick


[C]I’m just [E]here for the [A]music




break


[Em7]Keep your discount [A]drugs


[Em7]Keep your free ring [A]tones


[Em7]Just [F#m]leave [Gm]me [E]alone[E7]




Verse 4


I [A]check out song[F]writers who like [A]singing[F]


I take [C]tips, hints or ad[F]vice that’ll help me [E]out[E7]


The [A]legends as well as [F]those only be[A]ginning[F]


They [C]help me bring a [E]little twist and [A]shout




Chorus


I get [F]offers for [C]just about [E]every[A]thing


But [F]nothing [C]that can help me [E]sing[E7]


[F]Many [C]offers still [E]make me [A]sick


[C]I’m just [E]here for the [A]music

Hi Jeff,


Another fine offering from you, I echo the sentiment of your song whole heartedly and I enjoyed singing it.

Re: I'm Just Here for the Music

Hey Roger - Glad you like it. I switched up how I wrote this one just to see if it changes anything. I wrote the music first this time with the song idea and then I came up with the lyrics. I didn't see any differences in how the song came out in the end but it was bit tougher fitting the lyrics to the music than the other way around. It could be just me though.

Re: I'm Just Here for the Music

Thanks Brad - I was just getting fed up with all the myspace "other activities" that go on. I think I might record this one next too.
