You Play These Notes Lyrics
You Play These Notes
Are you teaching me how to play piano right now?In the face of great resistance, yes
Okay, so, so what do I do? Do I just?
You stop talking, and you play these notes
And then you move your fingers here
Not your head, just your fingers
And you play these notes
Good
That's it?
You're talking again
Play these notes
Then you play these notes
Then you play these notes
Then you play these notes
And you play them again and again
Until I tell you to stop
We begin at the beginning
We master the basics
Over time, these basics lead to something more complex
Whoa
Then you play these notes
And you play these notes
Then you play these notes
And you play these notes
And from these basics, the melody can evolve
Ooh
And I don't even know what "the melody can evolve" means
But shoot, I feel the melody evolve
And you play these notes
And you play these notes
And she shifts again
And I feel tradition and culture
And for the first time, maybe ever, I feel like
Like I'm a part of something bigger than me
I feel like I make sense
And you know, I'm not doing half of what she's doing but
Without what I'm doing, this song wouldn't be this song
