Speed dating with a song

Is not for music lovers

Inflationary likes feel wrong

To me and many others

Listen to the music

(Hmm hmm) listen to the music

On a platform of tunes that shimmer and shine

Hearts light up fast in a never-ending line

Songs get buried before they catch fire

A thousand thumbs up, but no real desire

Plays count low while the likes shoot high

A carousel spinning as the meaning flies

No pause, no patience, just racing for fame

And the artist’s left wondering who really came

These notes need space just to breathe and stay

Not numbers that blink, then fade away

Fairness should sing, simple and true

Like it because it really moved you

Speed dating with a song

Is not for music lovers

Inflationary likes feel wrong

To me and many others

Listen to the music

(Hmm hmm) listen to the music

So slow the heartbeat, ask what it means

If every like’s empty, what have we seen?

Truth has a rhythm that asks for respect

For the hands and the hearts that built every step

Let liking be honest, let listening stay

Turn it up loud, let the feeling play

Speed dating with a song is easy to do

But loving the music means listening through

Speed dating with a song

Is not for music lovers

Inflationary likes feel wrong

To me and many others

Listen to the music

(Hmm hmm) listen to the music

Listen to the music

(Hmm hmm) listen to the music
