Trying To Find That Groove

I just wrote another song--I’ve got the lyrics and the chords. It’s not too short, nor too long, and the melody fits the words. The majors and minors flow into a nice chord progression, And there’s a sexy, slow, Latin beat to add a touch of passion. I’ve not yet made a solo that will dazzle our rock star; I’ll have the guitar-hero write something for lead guitar. The drums and rhythm guitar both have parts that came out easy. But it’s always the bass guitar that has the part that drives me crazy. The bass guitarist is the guy that makes the band earn its money. His job is to unify the rhythm, melody, and harmony. He sets up the next chords for the keyboards and guitars to play— Ever leading the band forward, rather than watching them run astray. Chorus (after verses 2 & 3): I’m trying to find that groove—the one that gets you on your feet, The one that makes you want to move and boogie in the street. I’m trying to find that groove, that catchy riff, that walking beat, That makes all the other grooves sound like something obsolete.
