Story behind the song
I am a child of the 60's and teenager of the 70's so I have always loved Rock and Roll. I was a shy child and music really brought me out of my shell and I always turned to music when life felt like it got to much to handle.
The lyrics are an answer to my friend who told me several years ago after witnessing my almost obsession with music told me "It's just Rock and Roll".
Well It's Not Just Rock and Roll to me.
I spent a long time recording the music and had recorded a rough version of the vocals on top of the music before the computer died. Another lesson to always back up your files.
Vocals are terrible and I need to redo them, but I have to record all the instuments again.
So let me know what you think of the song if the vocals were better.

Lyrics
ITS NOT JUST ROCK AND ROLL - DAVE BRIDE
I remember in my younger days,
I heard Jimi playing "Purple Haze".
Then I knew that I wasn't alone
with The Beatles, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones,
Played my records everyday,
Turned it up loud no matter what they say,
Up in my room all night long,
Listening to every song,
Buying all the records I can
Of Dylan and Clapton and Van the Man,
It's not just Rock and Roll,
(Chorus)
Music is my true love,
Brings me belief,
It gives me peace,
Picks me up and helps me make it through the day,
Music keeps me going
all the way.
So I went and got a guitar,
Played all the time trying to be a star,
Me and my buddies started a band,
We weren't to good but we made a stand,
Down in the basement every night,
Over and over till we got it right,
It's Not Just Rock and Roll.
(Chorus)
Music is my true love,
Brings me belief,
It gives me peace,
Picks me up and helps me make it through the day,
Music keeps me going
all the way.
I remember in my younger days,
I heard Jimi playing "Purple Haze".
Then I knew that I wasn't alone
with The Beatles, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones,
It's Not Just Rock and Roll,
It's Not Just Rock and Roll,
It's Not Just Rock and Roll,
To me.
To me.
