🎵Intro

I woke up today in a certain songwritin' kinda mood

Ha...fooled ya, didn't I

Needin' to write me some songs

I woke up today with that certain songwritin' vibe'...

A total Reggae jam and all that Jazz

Awright now... let's jam with this one!

Here's a reggae-infused, jazzy,

Soulful vibe for our song

++++

"I Woke Up Today"

🎵Vibe #1

I woke up today

The rhythm in my veins,

felt so smooth.

Sunlight dancin’, melodies callin’ my name,

Reggae, jazz, and jammin’, all the same.

I should be readin' stories, but what the heck

I go with my mood and compose me some tunes

(🎵Chorus) It’s the groove of my soul,

the beat of my heart,

A symphony, it’s my work of art.

Feel the bassline rollin’, like waves on the sand,

Reggae, jam, and all that jazz, take my hand.

🎵Vibe# 2

The sax takes the lead, while the drums keep it tight,

A reggae offbeat, swayin’ left to right.

Scat a little harmony, spice it up with brass,

Weaving through the music, let the moments pass.

(🎵Chorus) It’s the groove of my soul,

the beat of my heart,

A symphony, it’s my work of art.

Feel the bassline rollin’, like waves on the sand,

Reggae, jam, and all that jazz, take my hand.

🎵(Interlude aside) or Bridge

When life throws its rhythm, I dance to the tune,

Underneath the sunshine or under the moon.

Every note tells a story, every chord finds a home,

In this musical journey, I’m never alone.

(🎵Chorus) It’s the groove of my soul,

the beat of my heart,

A symphony, it’s my work of art.

Feel the bassline rollin’, like waves on the sand,

Reggae, jam, and all that jazz, take my hand.

🎵 Vibe#3

I may not win a blessed thing🎵

Still, I will not let that stop me from 'inspirating'

I will keep my strive, head up high

My verses alive with my creative glides

Life is just for living

Why not let the beats and vibes do the dancin'

(🎵Chorus) It’s the groove of my soul,

the beat of my heart,

A symphony, it’s my work of art.

Feel the bassline rollin’, like waves on the sand,

Reggae, jam, and all that jazz, take my hand.

🎵(Reggae in Outro)

I woke up today with a certain songwritin’ vibe,

A reggae, jazz, and jammin’ soul come alive.

So let’s play it loud, let the world understand,

The power of music, and where we stand.

🎵🎵🎵

..................................................................

I had so many ideas all crowding my thoughts today...I truly felt in a dancing mood. And so I composed three totally different types of songs. There are days when the moods send you chasing after only what your mind desires. Such is the nature of our creative colors. We may not be the best at this or that. But whatever we may envision belongs in the realm of our imagination. Desiderata says, "there will always be greater and lesser persons than ourselves", so we must never compare ourselves to others.

Ok. So, that may not be so easy. But in doing that to ourselves, it may not be so easy to stick to our own paths. We must not allow other person's judgement to cloud our vision.

So, you and I will go into the fray with our heads held high. Seeing only our own victories, despite the god-awful fight to get there.
