Scratch Like A Record Player

♫Scratch like a record player

listen to the music

yesterday should never play

in front of what you're doin'

Fight for everything

life won't be the same

cry when you feel the pain

open up your mind 'n sing.♫

(Thesis (Jordan) is my youngest son. He plays all the instruments on this piece, except guitar, and he wrote the tune. The lyrics to verses 2 and 4, along with the hook, are his. His friend, Jared, lost his mother in 1996...explaining the reference. The melancholy violin mixed with hip hop gives me shivers. No, it's not my style...but I can appreciate it. I love that he writes. And it's damn true....yesterday should never play in front of today. Every day is day one.)

Tell me,

them,

all the things we missed

when we saw your beautiful face

and parked

on the surface
