And the gods of the playlist
never even had an inkling And the rec-execs and A&R never even had a clue |

Music Makers ©1998 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) In secret spaces - the music makers are laying down their lines Daring explorers - experiments in rhythm, harmony and time Belting out blues on the beltway when they're workday traffic jammin' Carnegie car resounds as the imagined fans are standing The neighbor's kids in the barn - that's a fine groove he's got going The reference librarian's got a hot harp solo blowing And the gods of the playlist never even had an inkling And the rec-execs and A&R never even had a clue You never hear them in record stores or on the radio Suspect, be suspicious - the music makers are everyone you know. The industrial engineer's got a studio down his cellar After work, he plays and the songs keep getting better Cyber graphic guy's been sending me tapes for years These songs can make me cry - so full of his hopes and his fears. And the gods ... Nurse Cindy, who gave your last shot, knocks 'em dead when you hand her a microphone Your temperature's burning hot - she'll reel and rock you right into the danger zone. Your old friends from school - still firing off some great riffs That rehab counselor's a hell of a wicked tunesmith. A tiny fraction of music makers ever reach our ears Like brilliant flashes - they're shining at the top and then they disappear. Did you know - there's a giant network and it's kinda underground From hand to hand, on homemade tapes they're passing it around. Belting out blues on the beltway when they're workday traffic jammin' Carnegie car resounds, as the imagined fans are standing. And the gods of the playlist never even had a clue. |
