Been a while since I posted something new so I present, “Something New.” It’s been a work in progress for a few months but I’m finally happy with the final verse. About a crazy time in work life when things are exciting but ultimately can’t last. I’ve got quite a few other new ones so I look forward to posting those soon as well. Also, I added the lyrics as closed captions and turned it on by default. Seems to go nicely with songs, especially if I’m mumbling a bit.
Something New
Words and Music, Miles Baltrusaitis 2017
D
In a town outside of Nashville
G D
In the year of O fifteen
D
Was a girl who worked on websites
A
Doing digital marketing
D
And a guy outside Chicago
G
Was doing the same thing
D
And when they worked together
A D
They knew something was happening
D
At first they worked in wordpress
G D
Building pages, posts and blogs
D
Explaining things with jams and jars
A
As symbolic analogs
D
They moved into marketo
G
Working hard as sniffing dogs
D
Closing tasks and shaving yaks
A D
While trying to eat frogs
CHORUS
G A D
They earned respect and they learned trust
G A Em A
They caught up every day cause talking is a must
G A Bm
The more they worked, their power grew
A G D
And the more they shifted into something new
SOLO OVER VERSE
D D G D
D D A A7
D D G D
D D A D
D
The team traveled together
G D
To vegas, boston and the coast
D
One was sent to asia
A
to teach the programs that matter most
D
But the work was never ending
G D
And by seventeen, they were toast
D
The guy picked up the pieces
A D
And the girl turned to a ghost
G A D
Well they earned respect and they learned trust
G A Em A
They caught up every day because talking is a must
G A Bm
But the more they worked, her feeling grew
A G D
That the time had come to try out something new
