Name: A Simple Song
Duration: P00H04M42S
Description: The prompt this week - to “write a simple song” - was harder than I expected at first. You'd think it'd be easy (easier than, say, writing a complicated song) but that wasn't the case. I was overthinking it. So I got out of my own way and went super-literal with the music and lyrics, and the floodgates opened. As you'll see, I had fun with this one.

The prompt this week - to “write a simple song” - was harder than I expected at first. You'd think it'd be easy (easier than, say, writing a complicated song) but that wasn't the case. I was overthinking it. So I got out of my own way and went super-literal with the music and lyrics, and the floodgates opened. As you'll see, I had fun with this one.

lyrics

It's a snap
No sweat
It's a cinch
Effortless

Smooth sailing
Such a breeze
I can do it
In my sleep

It's a piece of cake
It's as easy as pie
There's nothing to it
No problem with it

At the push of a button
It's so crystal clear
I can do it with my eyes shut
Even when you're not here

Like a walk in the park
Like riding a bike is
Like falling off a log
It's not rocket science

So easy peasy
It's plain as the day
And even for the grownups
It's child's play

As easy as saying your
ABC's
Your teacher would know it's so
Elementary

This song that I wrote
Has a message to send:
If you don't know what simple is
I'll sing it again....
