Get to Yes - Guitar and Vocals by Kathy Klopp
Written by Nancy Cunningham and Kathy Klopp
Get to Yes is the first song on an album that might also be called Get to Yes of songs Kathy and I have been writing over the past year that she is polishing and recording this month with posting them to FAWM as the inspiration to get it done.
Get to Yes
Nancy Cunningham / Kathy Klopp
So you'd like to be a superstar, and perch on some big pile
Well buckle up your seatbelt, 'cause climbing takes a while
It takes long days of digging, to win to place to show
And if you want to get to yes, it takes a little saying no
I earned a wall of trophies, they weren't much fun to dust
I got hung up on the slogan, go big or you'll go bust
I found my head had got so big, my heart had no room to grow
Well, if you want to get to yes, oh, everything else is no
Everything I used to want was shiny and brand new
I'd trade every dream I ever chased for a simple life with you
Say to other futures, walk out on our old past
Say no to all the haters, they swear our love won't last
Come on now, let's take the leap, even if we take it slow
Here's one way to get to yes, oh, you start by saying no
Come on help me get to yes, we'll do a little saying no
Oh, come on help me get to yes, we'll do a little saying no
Yeah, Baby, we can get to yes, we'll start by saying no

The lyrics are great love those rhythming couplets as @berni1954 has said. Really enjoyable.

Some brilliant couplets here. Fine bridge.

Love the picking and classic folk song. Great lyrics and catchy melody. Lots of nice lines but my favorite lines "I'd trade every dream I ever chased for a simple life with you." and "Here's one way to get to yes, oh, you start by saying no."

I love this song. Any chance of sending me a copy of the guitar track only I could play with?

Cool chords and melody, super well suited for this style. You nail the style. Very touching lyrics. Sometimes choosing is so hard and there are no real right answers and when you attain something you always dreamed you are still left with what ifs...

Good Lyrics. Good guitar picking. Thanks for your good words on my song skirmish song "Before the Whistle Blows" I probably will do more skirmishes but it's taxing

Catchy title and tune, and I enjoyed the finger picking.
Good commentary on what The Life requires of those who pursue it. Keep up the collaboration!
