Story Behind The Song
While compiling songs for my 2020 album release, "How To Make A Dime", I found a song I had started over twenty years ago that was never quite completed that had a vintage vibe I was looking for. I re-recorded all the already existing tracks and re-imagined the drum and keyboard parts to give it a more classic rock feel. I liked the newly recorded full version of the song which includes vocals so much that I made it the opening track on the album.
Song Description
Bouncy and warm, with soaring guitars and synths that dance on top of a heavy rock groove that keeps you moving, "Pop Tune" is an Alternative/ New classic rock song with a vintage vibe that conjures a sense of nostalgia and positive feelings.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Classic cars and shooting stars, forgotten wars and things that you see in the movies
Purple Haze and simpler ways, the good ole days when things were made like they should be
Basement bars and loud guitars, appendix scars and nights that would go on forever and ever and ever
Chorus
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
Try to understand its simple meaning
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
But I hope you're listening
Verse 2
Ocean tides and water slides, mosquito bites and things that remind you of summer
Starry skies and fireflies, the countless tries 'till they finally gave you their number
Sleepless nights and pillow fights, a fear of heights and things that you shared with your lover
Chorus
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
Try to understand its simple meaning
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
But I hope you're listening
Bridge
Tune in and turn on your radio
Tune in and turn on your radio
Tune in and turn on your radio
Turn it up as loud as it will go
Verse 3
Birds and the bees and willow trees, a summer breeze and things that you'll always remember
Simple songs and sing alongs, now summer's gone; it always ends in September
Outer space, the human race, a pretty face and love is a wondrous thing
Chorus
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
Try to understand its simple meaning
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
But I hope you're listening
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
Try to understand its simple meaning
It's just a pop tune that I'm singing
But I hope you're listening
