Why is it musicians love to see you - see you dance?

They only care - that you are there
Drinking in the beat
It’s their insides going through their hands
And coming out your feet

Beyond da Feet ©2009 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI)

Why is it musicians love to see you - see you dance
Why do musicians love to see you dance
If you’re smothered in sequins
or in your grandpa’s army pants

They only care - that you are there
Drinking in the beat
It’s their insides going through their hands
And coming out your feet

When the hip start hoppin’ around
Giving floor joists cause for concern
Suddenly somebody stares in surprise
As everyone watches the roof start to rise

We’re gonna blow - wo - wo the roof off this joint
Blow - di-oh-do-di the roof off this joint
nya-hya-hya-ha
It’s dancing fools that we’re meant to be
nya-hya-hya-ha
why the hell else came we down from the trees

Why is it musicians ...

Can you feel the ice break
As first couple hits the floor
The band’s trading glances
They know soon there’ll be more

They only care ...

If you sit all slouched in your chair
The band won’t have a clue
They won’t know if
Their new riff’s hitting the mark
If they’re succeeding at weaving
Magi-musical art

We’re gonna blow - whoa ...

As one rhythm connects us
Watch worries hit the ground
That groove’s so infectious
Suspends us in pure sound

They only care - that you are there
Drinking in the beat
It’s their insides going through their hands -
Coming out they’re coming ... ... ... ... “your feet”

Musicians always feel like their message is really getting across when the crowd just has to jump up and dance. That's when the magic begins - in this union between the musicians' hands and the dancer's flying feet.
