More appeal to sentimentality. Please forgive the crappy un-quantized one-take piano.

Key of G

PUT THE NEEDLE DOWN

Do you remember when you were young
Playing that first LP
Remember how you sang along
When you put the needle down

Now the kids they’ve got webcams
While they’re singing to your song
Don’t you know they feel as free
as when you put that needle down

But sharing songs is just a start
When the music’s in your heart

Now you’ve got to play that jazz
Or maybe hip-hop’s where it’s at
But the song remains the same
When you put that needle down

So if I give to the kids
What my eight track gave to me
It won’t hurt the man
If I put the needle down

But sharing songs is just a start
When the music’s in your heart

I hear the ghosts of the blues
Kick off the blue suede shoes
We’ve got nothing to lose
When we put the needle down

Now the kids they’ve got webcams
Your song’s all over Youtube land
How can you not give a damn
When they put the needle down?

But sharing songs is just a start
When the music’s in your heart
