This video depicts my recent cover of "Cissy Strut" by The Meters. 

I am a musician that has been living in LA for a year now and always looking for new music people to write and collaborate on videos and ideas with.

Also I do not own the drum track, I borrowed it from a talented musician on youtube for that "live" feel.I hope you enjoy.

Title: Moving Out (Anthony’s Song)
Composer: Billy Joel
Performers: Tyler Overbey (he/him), Grace Yam (she/her), Laynee Daniels (she/her) Michelle New (she/her), Dustin Hart (he/him), Sola Nagaoki (she/her)

From the performer:
This song has themes of personal growth and development. It is a coming of age story that many college students are experiencing, leaving the comforts of home in search of independence and self-discovery. This familial separation gives young adults the space to develop their own identity and set of values.

Lyrics:
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, Sonny, move out to the country
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack (ack)
You oughta know by now (oughta know)
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that what you get with your money
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
You should never argue with a crazy mind (mmm)
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money
If that's what you have in mind
If that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up
'Cause I'm moving out
I'm moving out

"Moving Out (Anthony's Song)" Billy Joel Cover for Fall 2020 Virtual USF Music Showcase

My name is Tyler Overbey. I am a 18 year old from Carlsbad, CA- moving out to San Francisco to start my college career at The University of San Francisco. I love to Produce and Create both Covers and Original Music. Though I do not have much practice with original composition, my practice with covers will help me learn to develop my own style in the process. I hope you enjoy my journey along the way. :)I come from Sage Creek High School, I created a soundcloud of my high school endeavors as part of a senior project, if you'd like to check out all of my earlier work, see the link in my profile. Much Love.
