The Things I Do
by @shelleroo
Liner Notes
I'm on a bit of a country roll, I guess! I tend to do choruses that are to complex, so it was fun to do something that was repetitive. This song could be about the end of a love affair, or it could be about someone else they're trying very hard to forget...
All parts are me. Having fun with Garage Band.

Lyrics
The Things I Do
Chorus (2) These are the things I Do The things I Do Yeah the things I Do To forget about you
Paint my toenails, paint the front door, read some Stephen King Change the laundry, change the litter, change my guitar strings Do the Wordle, try to whittle, scrub the bathroom sink Watch the Late Show, watch the time go, have another drink
Chorus (2)
Go for dinner, with an old friend, talk and laugh til dawn Clean my junk drawer, phone my grandma, she'll tell me to be strong Binge on Netflix, learn a card trick, sing a Hank Williams song Plant some daisies, go-o crazy, try hard to move on
Chorus (2)

@bijou - Thank you SO much, and especially for the recommendation post! I'll try to listen to them all today before everything disappears!

This is such a feel good listen. The layers come in slowly throughout the song and they come in and build to create this beautiful sweet summer country sound. Awesome job!
@coolparadiso That's true! I'm not a fan of auto-tuned, bro country. Classic, old country for me!

This has an authentic front porch on the prairie feel. Sounds very classic. I very musch enjoyed this, flows like a gentle welcoming river.
