Barry Manilow - Studio Musician Lyrics
I am a studio musician
We've never met
But you know me well
I am the English horn
Who plays the poignant counter-nine
While making love in some hotel
I am a part of you
I've never tried for fame
You'll never know my name
I am the strings that enter softly
Or three guitars that glitter gold
I am the thousand trumpet lines
That were an afterthought
Intended eyes,
I never ride the road
I never play around
I played what they set down
I'm a working musician
living from week to week
I'm the voice through each empty men
tried to speak
A studio musician
Blowin' the chance I see
And when the woodwind coushin rises
I start to dream
With the low brass bed
But I awake the horns
The drummer calls to me
We're up the letter D
I'm a man of the moment
pop is my stock n' trade
Singles, jingles and demos
conventently made
A studio musician
Whose music will die unplayed
A studio musician
Whose music could have died unplayed

Written by the talented Rupert Holmes! So lovely and poignant.
I would love to record this if only it was available for karaoke
Steve Sausen I know. Right. Such a beautiful song.
I love this song. It's such an expression of the world that Barry came out of, though I know he didn't write it. But who else would have given such a song a chance but Barry, the musician's musician?
