LYRICS
[Introduction]
I don't care what's fashionable or cool.
It's all silly and it's all meaningless...
Directly or indirectly, I created so many of the things you care about,
through all those songs that give your life purpose and joy...

[Introduction continued]
When you were a teenager and rebelling,
you were rebelling with my music...
Truth be told, there is no rebellion.
There's only me, earning a paycheck...

[Introduction continued]
"I"... am the best kept "dirty little secret" in the entertainment industry,
working anonymously and silently behind the scenes,
hidden from the spotlight,
never listed in the credits...

[Introduction continued]
I wrote the music your grandfather liked,
the music your dad grew up to,
most of what you sang along with as a kid,
and I'm still doing it...

[Introduction continued]
Today, teenagers are dancing to my music.
For decades, I even composed music for all the movies and TV shows...

[Introduction continued]
I'm the voice of your generation,
your grandparents,
your parents,
and all the young people today...

[Introduction continued]
This is my story...

[Verse 1]
Pencil on paper at midnight
Another melody takes flight
Through radio waves and records
Into someone's first dance

[Pre-chorus]
Behind closed doors, I orchestrate the moments
That become the markers of your time
Not a face you'd recognize
But every note is mine

[Chorus]
I wrote the soundtrack to your life
Every first kiss, every goodbye
The song your mother sang to sleep
The tune that made your father weep
(The one that made your father weep)

[Verse 2]
Summer of love, windows down
Those kids with their rebellion sound
Never knew it came from me
Just a name they'll never see

[Pre-chorus]
Through decades spinning round and round
Creating feelings underground
Like footprints in the sand
That wash away but still remain

[Chorus]
I wrote the soundtrack to your life
Every first kiss, every goodbye
The song your mother sang to sleep
The tune that made your father weep
(The one that made your father weep)

[Bridge]
All these moments, strung like pearls
On an invisible chain
Those signature sounds I never claim
Bringing other people fame

[Outro]
Still they dance, and still they cry
To melodies I secretly provide
While I hide behind the notes
Of every song I wrote
[Fade out]
