about

My father asked me to make a video chronicling how these songs are made. This is the accompanying song to the forthcoming video.

lyrics

My father asked me, to make a video
So I could show him how the sausage gets made
My father asked, because I do this
All this nonsense, it is how I play

It's just practice
Lots of practice
and then practice
and practice some more

Plucking strings in front of the TV.
Tapping tables and stomping the floor



One old man to another
It's time and patience
Practice and fun

One old man to another
You stack the pieces
Until you are done



For my father, here is a video
Of the process of recording a song
For my father, and whoever else
I hope this nonsense isn't too long



One old man to another
It's time and patience
Practice and fun

One old man to another
You stack the pieces
Until you are done



It's just practice
It's just practice
It's just practice

There's no magic
There's no magic
There's no magic

(Everyone has a different hobby)
(Everyone has a different hobby)
(Everyone has a different hobby)
(Everyone has a different hobby)
(Everyone has a different hobby)
(Everyone has a different hobby)

It's just practice
It's just practice
It's just practice

(It just takes a little time and effort)
(It just takes a little time and effort)
(It just takes a little time and effort)
(It just takes a little time and effort)

There's no magic
There's no magic
There's no magic

(Any idiot that you know can do this)
(Any idiot that you know can do this)



One old man to another
It's time and patience
Practice and fun

One old man to another
You stack the pieces
Until you are done

Start with a scratch track
Then the drums go
Then the bass
Rhythm section is first

Then the guitars
And whatever else
Save the vocals for last
Their the worst

about

Gabe Schwartz Ohio

Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it. Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others.
