My Name Is Not John | Serge Willemse

I’m lying on my back and I’m thinking of you,

That is what I like and I’ve nothing else to do.

I pick up my bass, trying to find a groove,

This must be my lucky day, the notes are sounding smooth”

(although) My name is not John, nor Victor or Pino,

I love my bass, I know I’m no hero.

Some jazzy lines for the best I can do,

And it’s important to me, that I play it for you.

I add some guitar and do even the singing,

Facing some issues while I try to keep it swinging.

The rhythm, the cadence and the words I wanna say,

The drums although in midi, for now it’s okay.

Music is the language, your heartbeat is the groove,

It helps to live your life, it helps to make you move.

On the rhythm of the bass as the power of the beat,

And at the end of the song, you put it on repeat..
