Story Behind The Song
Sometimes as a writer, it gets frustrating when some supposed artist can write only one to three words and it becomes a hit. I wrote this to show what it feels like to be a lyricist in today's world.
Song Description
A lot of music written today lacks any real message. Someone just sings one word over and over. This song is about the lack of creativity.

Lyrics
People say throw the music away
Play one note, one chord
No one wants to hear
What love has to say
Cuz words don't count anymore
To hell with feelings
Throw your dreams away
Close and lock the door
No one wants to hear
What you have to say
Words don't count any more
Chorus
Try to remember
What music used to be
When songs were written
With love as the key
I'm just a man
Guitar in hand
Writing music and scores
And maybe someday
When they've learned
The words will mean much more
But people say
Throw the music away
Play one note, one chord
No one wants to hear
What love has to say
Cuz words don't count anymore
