about

Tom Brinton and I challenged ourselves to "write a song about another band." We ended writing a song about the first time Tom heard The Strokes and appropriately titled the song, "The First Time I Heard The Strokes."

Listen to our conversation writing the song and the process of recording it in this podcast: jakehaws.com/ep-68-song-challenge-with-tom-brinton-the-first-time-i-heard-the-strokes

lyrics

Morning bell, I hear it ringing and it's time for school,
They got the TV on, it's turned to channel one,
I turned my head around and heard a brand new sound,

I thought my life was going fine but I was wrong,
Thought it was perfect til I heard it in a song,
When something comes along to change your mind,
You've been missing something you can't define,
You can make a bad day turn around,
Anytime you hear it, Tell me did you hear it?

Heading home, I cranked it up and now my speaker's blown,
Back to my driveway and I'm pulling in,
I'm in my car and I'm still listening,
My mom's banging on the door,
But I just want some more,

I thought my life was going fine but I was wrong,
Thought it was perfect til I heard it in a song,
When something comes along to change your mind,
You've been missing something you can't define,
You can make a bad day turn around,
Anytime you hear it, Tell me did you hear it?
