Let's See What Else This Thing Can Do

Liner Notes
#1chordprogression #midipop
Needed an upbeat palate cleanser after my last song, so I messed around with the iPad-as-MIDI-controller and made a fun little guitar loop, then added to that, and then wrote a bunch of a silly words to go with it. It did the trick.
Lyrics
You and me, moving through earthquakes
Can’t settle down cuz the ground is bouncing
Just another summer here it comes
Call each other birds, cuz we’re of a feather
Everything is best when we do it together
Duck one wrecking ball but here comes another one
Come on baby
After all that we’ve been through
Come on baby
Let’s see what else this thing can do
How many times, how many places
You’re the car that my dog-heart chases
Gonna keep on running til I die
You make the plan, I’ll get the gasoline
Turn the key and get away squeaky clean
Said I’d be by your side for life, didn’t I?
Come on baby
After all that we’ve been through
Come on baby
Let’s see what else this thing can do
Red light, green light, stop and go
Or in the backseat, nice and slow
Now we stand at the edge of the precipice
Thinking hard but I don’t know what the lesson is
Just don’t wanna go like Thelma and Louise
Anyhow there are roads to explore and
Always something we might like a little more and
Let’s keep this going oh baby please
There's an early Springsteen feel about these lyrics. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
PS How do you use an i-pad as a MIDI controller?
