Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Recording, mixing, & editing by Ben Visini
I wrote a song about building my bookcase and also life I guess but mainly the bookcase
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS:
(doot doots)
Verse 1
Find the tools for the construction
Only fools avoid instructions
They think they'll do it by themselves
And their world around them crumbles
As it literally falls
Underneath their breath they mumble: "END IT ALL!"
Never felt so small
CHORUS
I'm wasting minutes (do do do doo)
Until I'm finished (do do do doo)
Go supersonic (do do do doo)
That's all I want is to skip some steps
Maybe work a little less
Can't fast-forward life
Boring's in real time
(doot doots)
Verse 2
Missing some essential pieces
Hope of finishing decreases
Then I find them all in front of me
I must be defective
I end up with
Honest trusty monotony
CHORUS
I'm wasting minutes (do do do doo)
Until I'm finished (do do do doo)
Go supersonic (do do do doo)
That's all I want is to skip some gaps
Turn this all into a timelapse
CHORUS
I'm wasting minutes (do do do doo)
Until I'm finished (do do do doo)
Go supersonic (do do do doo)
That's all I want is to skip some steps (also do do do doo)
I'm wasting minutes (do do do doo)
Until I'm finished (do do do doo)
Go supersonic (do do do doo)
That's all I want is to skip some steps
Maybe work a little less
Can't fast-forward life
Boring's in real time
(doot doots)
