Oh I've been meaning to write this one for awhile now. I've never believed a lyric I've written quite like the jam at the end of this tune. Please enjoy! And go to therapy!!! It's helpful even if you think you don't need or or you're neurotypical!
Therapy
c2022 Abud Music
[INTRO]
Cmaj7 Bm7 Gmaj7 Em7 Am7 Fmaj9
[VERSE]
Dmaj7 Am7 Gmaj7 Gm7 C9 F#m7(b5) Fm7 Em7 Bbm7 Gb69 G13
There is nothing wrong with you
about which there is nothing you can do.
You don't have to wait to fall apart.
You can go today, and say:
"I'm sick of fuckin' social stigmas!"
[CHORUS]
Cmaj7 Bm7 Gmaj7 Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 Cmaj9(#11) Em7 Dmaj7 Ebmaj7
You should go to therapy.
It doesn't mean a thing,
except that you care about yourself.
[VERSE]
Dunno what you're trying to prove.
Repressin' all that stress is not the move.
You really seem to think you hide it well,
but then you start to yell. It's hell.
Communication's probably better.
[CHORUS]
You should go to therapy.
It doesn't mean a thing,
except that the world has stressed you out.
[BRIDGE]
Bm7 Bb7(b13) Am11 D9 Gmaj7 Gm7 C7(b9b5)
It's a sick, twisted crime
that most of the time
it's not covered by insurance
and expensive by design.
"Keep the people stressed and depressed, so you convince them they're blessed with just the mess that is left after the bosses get theirs."
And it breeds a kind of misguided pride,
that it's so good when you hide what you feel
and pretend it's not real.
So you don't have to burden anyone...
[VERSE]
There is nothing wrong with you
I really really promise that it's true.
If you got the means, I'm beggin' you please
You should go today and say:
"My health is not just how much I weigh".
[CHORUS]
You should go to therapy.
It doesn't mean a thing,
except that you care about yourself.
[JAM]

||: Every single mother fuckin' person on the planet should be talkin' to a therapist. :||
Every single solitary person on the planet should have access to a therapist.
And honestly if every single person had some water, food, and shelter, then we wouldn't need no therapists.
(Like seriously. We the people at large {*ahem* billionaires} have the means and resources to feed and house pretty much the entire population of the Earth and we just...don't do that? Why don't we do that???)

I started therapy in Nov 2020 at age 54. Why did I wait so long?
Absolutely delightful guitar-ing, I love the dance of guitar and vocal you create. "You should go to therapy" is such a great melodic tag line, too.
The jam is such a super cool big finish, too - and I agree!

I go to therapy and have for some 9 years now. Saved my life, litteraly. My first good therapist, the third one btw, was God sent.
Lovely song, your playing is so sublime!
@leakyplusme2 Feb 2022
I am glad i found you this is another great song.
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
This track is dope. Guitar voicings are wonderful lyrics are perfect
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
I had fun imagining what your fingers were doing on the fretboard, especially in the musical break before the bridge. Fun tune and cannot agree more.
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Probably one of the longest songs on here that I’ve stuck with to the end, and I’m so glad - am now joining in with you on the jam! That’s gonna be stuck in my head now (and I’m going to have to watch my language round the kids ha ha!)
@angelinapowersuit Feb 2022
Amen :-). Beautiful playing and singing!
@tukayandryan Feb 2022

@tseaver Feb 2022
Fun write, and super well delivered.
@readerwriterpoet Feb 2022
dropping some massive truth bombs here WITH the coolest chords ever to accompany it all? hell fucking yeah dude!!!
@bootlegger Feb 2022
Love the chords. They inform the melody so we'll. Really cool playing. And you're so right. Everyone needs to be in therapy for sure!
@ericlord Feb 2022
Solid composition - your guitar playing is really impressive! Love the theme, too "My health is not just how much I weigh" :))))
