#songsparkdecember2018

The December Song Spark was to write a song that communicates a story. The musical catch: include a section of the song that is a cappella.

This song was written and recorded using a Behringer X2222 stereo USB mixer and Apple Camera Connection kit (for the drums), iPad mini4, iRig PRO I/O, Marshall MXL 770 condenser microphone, Yamaha maple custom drum set, Ibanez bass guitar, Washburn acoustic guitar, Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, Fender Squire Strat, and a 1967 vintage Hagstrom Viking,  via iOS and Mac GarageBand.

Below are the lyrics:
INTRO
Crazy, crazy, I’m not crazy,
Crazy, I’m not crazy, crazy	
Su-Su-Su-per-fan

V1 
Standing in line for 20 hours a day out in the pouring rain
Weak in the knees, hold me up now so I don’t fall – yeah
You may think it’s nothing more than an obsession
You may think that I am out of control
I know exactly who I am
Su-Su-Su-per-fan

V2
Remember me? I was a VIP back in Chicago
I shouted your name and I swear that you smiled back at me – yeah
You may think that I’m doing this for the attention
Buddy – you’re so wrong
It’s more than just a song
So sing along

C1
They make me fly away
Inspire me
They are the soundtrack of my life
Make me feel strong
Some say I’m crazy
I’m not crazy

V3
Score the presale, I gotta get to the rail – my territory
Security guy must be blind he can’t see my tattoos – yeah
You may think I need some kind of intervention
Buddy – I’m aware
So go ahead and stare
‘Cause I just don’t care

C2
They make me fly away
Inspire me
They are the soundtrack of my life
Make me feel strong
Some say I’m crazy
I’m not crazy

BRIDGE
I’m gonna get your photograph
I’m gonna get an autograph
You know that I’m your biggest fan
Superfan!

C3 (solo)

OUTRO
Some say I’m crazy
I’m not crazy
Crazy, crazy, I’m not crazy,
Crazy, I’m not crazy, crazy
