Some years ago, I wrote and produced this track for ABC television featuring the legendary Aretha and the late, great Leon Russell on vocals. Not many people have heard it since. Rest in peace, Leon.

WE BELONG TOGETHER featuring Leon Russell and Aretha Franklin

I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN
Written, performed, & produced by Brock Walsh
Mixed by James Rohr



I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN
A TINY MODEM IN MY HAT
AND WHAT I KNOW NOW IS INSANE
I’LL HAVE AN ANSWER JUST LIKE THAT
GONE IS UNCERTAINTY AND INSECURITY
NO MORE SWEATY PALM JUST THIS OVERWHELMING CALM
NEVER WITHOUT A CLEVER QUIP
I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN

I HAD A DATE THE OTHER NIGHT
THE KIND OF GIRL I USED TO FEAR
I PICKED HER UP WE HAD A BITE
AND EVERYTHING I SAID WAS MUSIC TO HER EARS       
WAS IT TELEPATHY? (NO I DON’T THINK SO)
SOME GREAT EPIPHANY?  (THAT MADE HER BLINK SO)
NO, I JUST HACKED INTO HER PHONE
FOUND OUT SHE LOVED GAME OF THRONES
DOWNLOADED SOME AND LET IT RIP
I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN

IT MAKES HER HAPPY, MAKES HER FEEL SPECIAL
SHE TAKES MY HAND AND LETS ME HUG HER
IT’S NOT DISHONEST
I DON’T LIE TO HER
I’M NOT BILL COSBY
I DIDN’T DRUG HER

I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN
EXCEPT THE NIGHTMARES IT’S BEEN GREAT 
NO NEED TO READ OR HAVE THINGS EXPLAINED
WITH ADHC CONCENTRATE (TAKE HOLD OF YOUR WORLD)
THAT SPONTANEITY (SO ANTIQUATED)
AND AUTHENTICITY (AND OVERRATED)
JUST QUAINT OLD FASHIONED NOTIONS
LIKE ACTUAL EMOTION 
I GOT IT AT MY FINGERTIPS  
I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN

I HAD A CHIP PUT IN MY BRAIN

While You Were Staring At Your Phone
