Streaming Blues

from Beatniks on Toast by Manzo

about

'Streaming Blues' is a lighthearted plea for music listeners to take the time to listen to a whole album, not just 'swipe' through tracks.

lyrics

A hundred and sixty thousand plays to earn a measly buck
Apple and Spotify can go and get fucked
Never in it for riches just having me some fun
But it’s profit instead of music to be number one
We give our heart and soul to bring our tracks to you
Another on your playlist you don’t care who

It’s not for me to tell you what you oughta do
But do me a favour and play my album through
I stumble and I fumble to write myself a song
The pro’s they may frown and say I’m doing it all wrong
McCartney can’t read music I’m much the same
But I’m doing it for love
I don’t depend on fame

I’m one of millions trying to catch your eye
It’s hard to make a living so why do I try?
I’m doing it for love, having me some fun
But one day who knows I maybe number one
So when you buy my record a request from me to you
Don’t swipe the tracks just play the album through
