about

This was written for a writing prompt in a group I’m in called GYAWS (Get Your Ass Writing Songs!). We have the goal of writing one song a week and sharing it to the group. The week’s prompt was “Success.” This was the first song I had written following the Taxi Road Rally (large gathering of professionals working on music in film and television) in 2016. I also took inspiration from Vampire Weekend’s “Sunflower.” They do it better, but I do love a good scat every now and then.

lyrics

Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do

If I succeed in anything let it be love
If I succeed in anything let it be love

Let me love the broken hearted
Let me love the down and out
Let me love those who got beaten
But are hoping to rebound
Let me love the tired and weary
Let me love the foolish too
Let me love the ones who hate me
Cuz it’s love that rules the world
Yeah yeah yeah

If I succeed in anything let it be love yeah
If I succeed in anything let it be love, like this

Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do

Let me love those who have nothing
Let me love those with it all
Let me love the ones who start the fights
And the ones that take the fall
Let me love loud and careless
Let me love the silent types
Let me love them in the darkness
Let me love them in the light
Yeah yeah yeah

If I succeed in anything let it be love yeah yeah
If I succeed in anything let it be love

Now I don’t need more money
I don’t need more gold
I don’t need to be right
To feel this wonderful
I can’t believe I found it
Now I won’t let go
I got everything I need
And I feel it in my soul
Feel it in my soul
Yeah yeah yeah

If I succeed in anything let it be love, love
If I succeed in anything let it be love
If I succeed in anything let it be love, let it be love
If I succeed in anything let it be love
If I succeed in anything let it be love, let it be love
If I succeed in anything let it be love, let it be love, let it be, let it be, let it be love like this

Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, dodo dodo do
Do do do, do do do
