about

Jaunty, upbeat 60s influenced guitar-driven pop from Gavin Lazarus.

The story behind this song is that it's OK to be retro or different. To make the music you want to make. If it sounds like the Beatles, Kinks or Who, and it makes you happy, then listen to it. Play it. Sing it. Ignore trends or fashions. Make the art that is honest to you and true to your vision.

Not everything has to be a brand new sound - some of the older sounds are great! And they have influenced this brand new song. This video was also filmed while sailing around the Mediterranean - very nice too... don't mind if I do!

lyrics

f I Like It If I think it's true Don't mind If I do
Well It doesn't have to be completely new
I don't mind if I do
No I don't mind
No I don't mind if I do

Every single piece of music comes from somewhere else
And to that you add a little self
Now I can find release in music I write it how I please
I don't care for fashionable decrees Because

If I Like It If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
Well I don't care what style or era too I don't mind if I do

Now I have always advocated words and melody
Give it drive and give it honesty
Now I know most folks are placated with drivel they are fed
But I have never been so easily led. Because

If I Like It If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do
You think it sounds like Beatles, Kinks or Who
Ha don't mind if I do
No I don't mind No I don't mind

(Don't mind if I do) I don't mind if it's macho or effete
(Don't mind if I do) If it moves the soul or if it moves the feet
(Don't mind if I do) I don't mind the era or the century
(Don't mind if I do) Just as long as it says something to me
If your should needs liberating
Don't sit there procrastinating
Timidly prevaricating
There's a world of pleasure waiting
If your should needs liberating
Don't sit there procrastinating
Timidly prevaricating
Right this way your tables' waiting

If I Like It If I think it's true
Don't mind If I do (No I don't mind)
Doesn't have to be completely new I don't mind if I do (No I don't mind) If I Like It If I think it's true Don't mind If I do (No I don't mind)
I don't care what style or era too Don't mind if I do (No I don't mind)
If I Like It If I think it's true Don't mind If I do (No I don't mind)
Doesn't have to be completely new I don't mind if I do
