	Upbeat pop song dedicated to the songwriter in all of us, and the need to feel like what we do matters to someone. This would be a great debut song for a new emerging singer/songwriter like Avril Lavigne or Michelle Branch. The song really endears the listener to the artist.

	Story Behind the Song This is a true story about rough gigs and how hard it is to perform original songs when you feel like nobody is listening. Luckily, there is always someone who is tuned in and appreciating live music. Lyrics The Couple in the Corner - Gail Swanson ©2001 Sea Note Publishing/BMI 808-879-9658, Seanotemusic@aol.com I play the guitar in a burger bar There are no windows, so the notes just fly away My life story floats out to the boats and the people walking by But no one's listening to a word I say Except the couple in the corner and the waitress Who smile at everything I do And I can hear them clap when no one else is brave enough to. Chorus: I am your juke box baby I play the songs you know You can tune me in or tune me out, just like your radio. Deep inside I know my music still belongs To the couple in the corner and the waitress who knows all my songs. Here’s a tune I’ve never done My youngest tender one The one that makes me cry every time I sing it live I take a breath and go And I fumble through the intro And I feel like I could die And I close my eyes and hope that they are listening Yeah I close my eyes cause I can't bear to see My heart and soul just floating through a room of people who don't notice me. Chorus Now my moment turns to fear As the last sound that I hear, the final strum of my guitar Is drowned out by a passing car Silence deafening, I stand there listening I open up my eyes and scan the corner of the bar But my couple's gone just like this scary moment And it's time for all the tables to be turned As I blink, a new couple smiles at me, and the waitress sings a perfect harmony. Chorus
