LYRICS - $USD (UpSideDown)
by Daniel Paul Work c2020 (ASCAP/Work Production Studios)

Hey world; we’re upside down (upside down)
Hey, hey world (upside down)
They don’t seem, seem to care (upside down)
They don’t seem to care

Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world
Take it to the streets, let em know how you feel
Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world, upside down world, upside down world

Get up, get out, time to shout
Don’t be a loser, don’t be a loser
Millionaires, no billionaires, they don’t speak for me

Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world
Take it to the streets, let em know how you feel
Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world, upside down

Peacefully take, take to the streets
No need for guns, not even one

Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world, upside down world, upside down world

Hey world (upside down)
We’re upside down (upside down)
Hey, hey world (upside down)
They don’t seem, seem to care (upside down)
They don’t seem to care

Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world
Take it to the streets, let em know how you feel
Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world, upside down world, upside down world

Get up, get out, time to shout
No one to vote for, no one to vote for
Millionaires, no billionaires

instrumental break

Hold onto your hat it’s an upside down world
Take it to the streets, let em know how you feel (vamp)

It’s is an upside down world!

The newest live session track from The Noted "A Letter".

Hello friends, family and fans. "A Letter", the 3rd track from our recent live session recordings. It pays homage to fathers lost in a classic rock style with Queen/The Who/John Lennon influences.

We'd sincerely appreciate your help in sharing this with others;
as new music only exist if it is found & heard. Comments welcomed.

Also available at Apple, Spotify, etc.
Thanks The Noted's John, Mike, DW, Angela and Jeff.

Personal note from DW. I began writing this song, virtually all the music for it, at my dad's bedside during hospice, way too long ago.
The Noted then really leaned into this song, emotionally and musically, making it their own. We are so happy with the results and hope you enjoy it.
