Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Recording & Editing by Ben Visini
Mastered with Cloudbounce
Oh god please just clap on 2 and 4 I will personally teach you how
make the pain stop
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!
100% of my Bandcamp earnings for the rest of the month will be donated to Bail Funds/BLM initiatives. Find out how you can support:

LYRICS:
Verse 1
Live show
The groove has moved into the crowd you
Might blow
Your chance to dance and what's allowed? Well
I know
How to do it right, gonna tell you about it
Gonna tell you all about it
No more will anyone doubt it
This song's in 4/4, wanna emphasize the upbeats
That's 2 and 4, avoid those downbeats
1 and 3, clapping on those is just like dragging your feet
See not that hard of a feat
Now everybody here, repeat after me, go:
2 4 2 4
Clapping like that makes musicians nut on stage
Chorus
You feel the rhythm inside of you
I know that deep down you know what to do
Feel it through
One day you will realize it too
Please clap on the 2 and 4
I don't wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
no, no, no, stop, just stop, no no no no no no
Verse 2
If live music had a Geneva Convention
Clapping on 1 and 3 would be a war crime (war crime!)
We have a drummer and a bassist here
Please don't distract them with your time (your time)
Every time people get it wrong, we all die a little, bit by bit
You're not cool or different for doing 1 and 3 especially at this point
After all I just said, Jesus Christ, you'd be a dick
You say you're too drunk to clap on the hits
That's no excuse, when I'm on stage I'm drunk as shit
Chorus
You feel the rhythm inside of you
I know that deep down you know what to do
Feel it through
One day you will realize it too
Please clap on the 2 and 4
I don't wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
Verse 3
Maybe
There's an asshole in your local scene
Inflated ego and they're always mean
Next time they play - you didn't hear this from me
Consider clapping on the 1 and 3
Obviously I'm kidding, that's crossing a line
I'm kidding again, yeah it's totally fine
I'm joking again I'm kidding, that's how much this means to me
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy
Murder the song, you'll do serious time
Never forget, you're committing a war crime
Chorus
You feel the rhythm inside of you
I know that deep down you know what to do
Feel it through
One day you will realize it too
Woah
You feel the rhythm inside of you
I know that deep down you know what to do
Feel it through
One day you will realize it too
Please clap on the 2 and 4
I don't wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
Please clap on the 2 and 4
I don't wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
Please clap on the 2 and 4
I don't wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
