Sisters

Liner Notes

I was given lyrics by my local songwriting buddy, Steve Price, to tinker with and add melody. This is the result. I still haven't figured out my DAW or Band in a Box yet.

Glad to finally have a song posted! What a busy month it's been for me in my non-songwriting life.

Lyrics

SISTERS

By Steve Price and Savannah Rogers 

Sisters gotta stick together  Sisters gotta stick together 

V1

We cut each other’s hair At the same time With the lights out Using butter knives Woke up in the morning and it wasn’t just a dream

Chorus

Mountains gotta crumble Clouds gotta part Molecules gotta split Endings gotta start Things gotta get worse ‘Fore they get better But sisters gotta stick together

V2

We kicked each other’s boyfriends Square in the nuts None of them had a brain None of them had guts But when they left us all we did was cry

[repeat chorus]

bridge:

We had the same mama Same daddy more or less Why we look so different Is anybody’s guess

Sisters gotta stick together  Sisters gotta stick together 

V3

We say each other’s prayers In the same breath We live each other’s lives We’ll die each other’s deaths And wonder if the whole thing was a dream

[repeat chorus]

Sisters gotta stick together  Sisters gotta stick together  Sisters gotta stick together  Sisters gotta stick together

That's one heck of an intriguing V1! And I loved "same daddy, more or less!" 😀

What a great scene setting verse. The music you found sounds just right for the earthy verses and the ecstatic loving choruses. And you sing it with so much tender commitment.

Hey Savannah, so pleased you finally posted! And what a great song. The chorus melody is uplifting and the repetition ‘sisters gotta stick together’ is a catchy singalong.

@billwhite51 🥹 I'm astonished at your comment. Literally tearing up right now. Thank you. You have no idea how hard the struggle was for me to figure out the chords to accompany my melody.

this is such a perfect song and performance. the development of the music is so precise and so right. from verse to chorus to bridge, you take us just where we want to go. the result is so satisfying, and the lyric, like the music, opens up like a flower as it evolves from shared commonalities to spiritual insights into the human condition.
