Listen to the song I wrote after being inspired by my conversation with AJ and Julie and all the other Podsongs
Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:
SAINT JULIE ( AJ'S WIFE)
CAPO 4th
VERSE
C
AJ being honest
F C
AJ listing facts
C G
AJ entertaining us with all his crazy acts
AJ connecting relatives
AJ saying thanks
AJ outsourcing all his worries, even arguments
BRIDGE
F Am
We all love reading 'bout AJ's life
F G C
And that very saintly lady AJ's wife?
VERSE
AJ joining Mensa
And taking the bible literally
AJ stoning adulterers in Central Park for all to see
AJ unitasking
AJ peeing in the sink
AJ staying in the moment by saying everything he thinks
BRIDGE
It'd be fun to have AJ in our life
But spare a thought for poor old AJ's wife
CHORUS
C
Saint Julie
G
Must love him truly
F
She's living a movie
G
The kind you watch slowly
Saint Julie
Came down from on high
To take pity on that dorky guy
On the 28th floor
INSTRUMENTAL (CHORUS)
VERSE (Strummed)
AJ and Julie riding in Gondolas having romantic times
AJ and Julie holding hands watching Waking Ned Divine
BRIDGE
We'd kill for dinner with AJ and wife
So we can hear her side of their crazy life
