No to the Party
Never More True
Written on November 29, 2017, I've never written a song more true to who I am. Not only do I want to accomplish great things, I want to have a fun time doing it. This song really sets a tone of who I am for people who don't know me.
It started a few weeks earlier in 2017, I asked fans for song suggestions so I could use that beat to write over. My old roommate, Igor, suggested We Like to Party by the Vengaboys. I found a MIDI file and isolated the drum track and wrote this song over it.
A few days later I recorded a very do it yourself style video for the demo and it became a quick hit. Here's the demo video:
Handwritten Lyrics
No to the Party Lyrics
I could be reading a book or mowing the lawn
And I do it all night with a tank top on
But the only thing that can get me to stop
Is tell me where the gang will be and I’ll make the party rock
I stay out all night but rise and shine
Cram it in all day, man it’s a grind
All work no play makes a boy so dull
Better spend the time a rockin like its not that cool
I can’t say no to the party, can’t say no to the people
It’ll be like that until I’m old and feeble
I’m up all night, but also all day
I’ll sleep when I’m dead man, and that’s what I say
I can’t say no to the party can’t say no to the people
I’ll be like that until I’m old and feeble
If there’s only one thing that you gotta see
I can’t say no to the rockin party
Time spent wasting, your better off dead
And you’re getting there with all that thinkin’ in your head
Now you’re wasting time when you could go out
Time to get to it, kick and shout
I’m good, I swear, I take care of my life
But I fit the rest in and put up a good fight
No use telling me to keep it cool
If you tell me don’t go out man I’ll say you’re a fool
What do you think?
