I\u2019m close to finished song I\u2019ve been working on lately. One feature of this song, which I’ve wanted to write for a long time, is a horn section break in the mode of Domino, Spain or Sir Duke. Last night I laid down the horn section tracks. All that\u2019s left is some percussion and maybe rhythm guitar, and then onto mixing. I\u2019ve been focusing on simplicity in my songwriting, at least in certain aspects. This one has a eight-bar chord progression that changes every two beats and loops over and over the whole song, nice and soulful.<\/p>\n
Bb Eb C7 F7 Bb Eb C7 Bb
\nBb Eb D7 G7 Eb C7 F7 Bb<\/p>\n
The finished track should be ready soon. Meanwhile, here\u2019s the lyrics. Not the deepest thing ever, but lively and fun.<\/p>\n

Your Dancing Shoes<\/strong> Put on your dancin’ shoes Throw down your safety vest I’ll loosen up my power tie So put on your dancin’ shoes (horn break)<\/p>\n Now your decoding ring So put on your dancin’ shoes (horn break and out)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m close to finished song I\u2019ve been working on lately.

\nDon’t wanna hear about no bad news
\nI spent my nine to five just payin’ dues
\nSo put on your dancing shoes<\/p>\n
\nKick off your working boots and give it a rest
\nDon’t wanna hear about what’s worse or best
\nJust wanna see you in that party dress<\/p>\n
\nPut down my thinking cap and let it all slide
\nBeen payin’ dues yeah since the nine to five
\nNow all I wanna do is catch your eye<\/p>\n
\nAin’t got time tonight to sing the blues
\nYeah spent my nine to five just payin’ dues
\nSo put on your dancin’ shoes<\/p>\n
\nAnd your utility belt don’t mean thing
\nMy smoking jacket and my fancy pants
\nNow all I wanna do is see you dance<\/p>\n
\nDon’t wanna hear about bout no bad news
\nAin’t got time tonight to sing them blues
\nJust put on your dancin’ shoes
\nYeah put on your dancin’ shoes<\/p>\n
