Did you also write about an elevator with unrequited love?]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369401 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369400 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:30:06 +0000
Statistically, elevators spend a lot of time on the first floor. When someone pushes the button in a lobby it is to "call" the elevator.
Once in an elevator, you push the button for your floor. Most people don't talk much in elevators, they do watch the lights to see what floor it is getting to.
Elevator music usuaklly does not have vocals, frequently they have pretty bland melodies.
"I'll never fall" The only time I have ever heard of an elevator falling is in the movies.

More than having clues about what it was, the real story is that the elevator is infatuated with one of it's regular riders.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369400 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369399 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:18:37 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369399 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369397 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:37:46 +0000 This song really needs an appropriate title.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369397 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369396 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:55:24 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369396 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369394 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:44:41 +0000
I was waiting for your call I was waiting all night long again
When I'm alone I just sit there on the floor
But I knew the time of day that you would ring my bell again
I rush to your side and throw open the door

You seem distracted as you caress my buttons
You're just staring at the lights
Stand in the corner As though we're strangers
Where did you spend the night

I'll play music without words a melody that you've heard
Who knows how many times?
And while you sneer at my song I can hear you hum along
And crescendo as we harmonize

Soon you'll leave to be with your friends
You say your work is never done
You'll ask for a ride home then leave me on my own
While you're out there, having fun

I'll be back there on the floor all alone once more
Waiting for your morning call
You're out there on the town. Me, I'm mostly down
But you know I'll never fall.

I'll play music without words a melody that you've heard
Who knows how many times?
And while you sneer at my song I can hear you hum along
And crescendo as we harmonize]]> Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369394 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/9-47-otis-w-lyric-and-mp3/#post-369392 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:32:41 +0000 Sounding good :D Well, you've got me guessing and I can't say I know for sure. My guess is the singer is an inanimate objects- maybe a cell phone?....answering machine?......microwave?......coffee maker?

Any other hints? :roll:

Thanks for sharing :D
