Haven't touched the cello in months...thought I'd change that. Three hours later, I recorded and mixed this song with just cello and clapping in my bedroom (so it might not be studio quality).  Enjoy.

The Shady Side Podcast Intro Theme

For my final project in Electronic Music/Digital Audio Class, I wrote and recorded this song titled "Average Pop Song." 

Piano and bass MIDI: Matt Miller, Drumkit: Evan Flemming-Buck, Guitar: John Petruzzelli, Vocals: Jenna Parilla and Adam Rabenold. Music and Lyrics written by Matt Miller.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Some write of romance, or when life gets bad,
Or write of lovers, that they never had,
It’s just the same chords that are always played,
I wrote this ballad for my final grade.

Chorus:
This is an average pop song,
Why stop it now, that’s just wrong,
You’ll wish this song never got inside your head,
This will be praised by the youth,
But, I can tell you the truth,
This average pop song will be in your head forever.

Verse 2:
If singing solo, makes you feel alone,
Add other vocals, bet your mind was blown,
Let go of old mistakes, forget the past,
Thank God it’s Friday, now let’s raise a glass.

Chorus:
Here’s to the average pop song,
Why stop it now, that’s just wrong,
You’ll wish this song never got inside your head,
This will be praised by the youth,
But, I can tell you the truth,
This average pop song will be in your head forever.

Guitar Solo:

Oohs and Aahs:

Verse 3:
This is the ending, of a great pop song,
I hope you liked it and you sang along,
One thing I ask of you before I go,
If you enjoyed it then just let me know,

This is an av-er-age pop song.
