about

Adam Bailie had the chords and groove and idea when I arrived at the studio one day during the recording sessions in March. I don't usually get to come in on the tail end of a song, but this is one those times. I was reading a book called, "This Is Your Brain On Music" and some of the ideas in the book are reflected in this song. IE. Strip away the glitz and hype, and music is something we can all do. Music is movement.

lyrics

It’s just music...

People singing / Moving to the wonder of it all / While up in the towers / Gold records line the walls / Deals are made, spirits broken / By the unit counts fall / While down on the street / Voices rise up and the rhythms rhyme with the beat / It’s a sound, make a sound now / Join in and sing / Make a sound / Open up your heart / Are you with me / And it’s only the sound of our voices / Keep the rhythm going / It can’t be wrong when you…

It’s just music…

- Ronii Wata solo -

It’s just music….

I want a world where we can all be strong / I want a world where we can all belong / Children and the old ones too / Respecting all the voices too / Ronii Wata, Watasun and Saga, Kickstart and touch it / It’s here, it’s real / Can’t you feel / It’s just music

It’s just music…

- John’s solo -

Eddie Tatoosh climbs a tree, gets to the top, looks around and he shakes.

It’s just music

about

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
