June 13th. This is the one year anniversary of a show that brought my local open mic scene together by becoming a giant inside joke. I wanted to spread the love.

3 months in! Thanks to everyone who's been supporting me on this project of mine. The next upload will be on Tuesday, June 23rd.

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:

Verse 1
This is the story of a show you
Probably couldn't go to
But I know you
Had other stuff going on and you got busy, yeah, no worries, you'll make it next time for sure

I spread the word to pull a crowd
To a night where the music's bumping and loud
Where everyone is proud
To be right where we are right now

You see, it'd mean so much to me
Cause I've got a set I'm playing
I hope you come through

Chorus 1
To my my next big gig I just can't shut up about it
And I hope that anyone who wants can make it out to
June 13th, June 13th (oh you know you gotta go)
You can have a drink, use my ticket at the bar
Friends and family coming from afar to
June 13th, June 13th

Verse 2
I feel part of a community
Immunity from the couch-ridden slobs
Saying "Get a real job"
I might not but at least I've got real friends

We'll have the best time of our lives
My last show we tried to light up the night
Not a person in sight
Can you turn down the lights, I can't see anyone
Oh, no one's here - cool

And if you know that you can't go
Don't take a flyer
I have a limited number of these (please, they're more expensive than you think)

Chorus 2
That promote the night that the scene would come together
A random show remembered forever
June 13th, June 13th (oh you know you gotta go)
And if you have a show but want to use this song to promote it
Just change the date we're singing, instead of
June 13th, just *insert date*

They say the scene already died
This is the day the scene was
The scene was reborn

Chorus 3
And it all revolves on a special little date
That really shows just how the scene is great on
June 13th, June 13th (oh you know you gotta go)
When the soul is weak, and the spirit isn't strong
We spread the love by playing a song on
June 13th, June 13th (oh you know you gotta go)
It's my next big gig, I just can't shut up about it
And I hope that anyone who wants can make it out to
June 13th, June 13th
June 13th, June 13th
