A song about songwriting and writers block.
songwriting writers block
The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
Ive been listening to a lot of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers lately, and I think you can hear some of the influence in this song. Its a song about songwriting, and writers block. After going many months without being able to write a song, I wanted to prove to myself that I could still do a halfway decent job. Definitely not my best work, but at least Im trying to break out of that slump.
Lyrics
You look at me like I was nothin Well baby let me tell you something You may not think much of me But that only goes and sets me free I try my best, sometimes I fall But dont that happen to us all Ill be trying until that final call Yeah but dont that happen to us all I got something to prove But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin Cause I got something to prove Yeah I got something to prove When Im stuck and need a shove When it fails to come to me from above I just need a little love Thats when youre the one Im thinking of. The pen scribbles and the notes flow Theres one thing that you should know So many times when I feel all alone Thats the time my inspiration grows I got something to prove But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin Cause I got something to prove Yeah I got something to prove Some people they have nothing to prove They spend their time riding a groove Maybe they have something to hide Maybe they are just afraid to try. I got something to prove But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin Cause I got something to prove Yeah I got something to prove
