The Producer
Lyrics : M. Novak, C. Webster - Music: M. Novak
The music producer has lots of ideas
He mixes and matches and says what the key is
His passion lies in creating the song
His past number ones have made him strong
The bands ideas become his final vision
He navigates the road without a collision
Massaging the egos of many musicians
While working within the corporate conditions.
CHORUS:
The one with the passion he is the Producer
The one with the vision he is the Producer
The one who is the diplomat is the Producer
The producer is the wizard of music
From wax to tape to ones and zeros
The Producer has always been an unseen hero
The studio creates his pallet for the song
He sees notes as colors that fit and belong
It’s a high stakes gamble to get a song on the charts
The song finally lives after many fits and starts
After coffee and coke and sleepless nights
They all hope to see their name in lights.
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
He talks some folks up, he talks some folks down
If he does his job he’ll be the talk of the town
The producer helps songs come alive
The producer makes peace in the tribe
When does he know that the song is done
It’s been a long journey not all of it fun
All the spaces filled there’s nothing left to do
The time needs to pass will make it sounds new
CHORUS:
