Description
This song is based on the 16 beat LIOLI9 loop, Dance Floor Pattern 43, with beat number 7 removed, to form a 4+3+4+4 compound time signature.
The original loop instrument appears in the background as a drone, particularly at the end. The loop also is played on a guitar synth here and there. The loop is used as the basis of the drum rhythm patterns and for the piano pattern at the start of the instrumental build. And finally, the loop is also the starting point for the melody.
lyrics background:
The name of the challenge loop is part of the ideas in the lyrics. Perhaps this song is about how I decided forsake music to pursue another career? Or an apology to a long lost high school sweetheart? Or some sort of vague feeling of regret?
instruments:
Gibson L00 acoustic guitar, capo
various GarageBand synths
pencil tool
chords: (capo on 3rd fret)

Lyrics
I Dance My Way To You
(verse 1)
When we danced at our school
And we'd float 'cross the dance floor
It was fun drifting far apart
When we knew by the end
We'd be back together
(verse 2)
At the close of that song
When I split for employment
It was fun being on my own
Living life, chasing dreams
And finding a purpose
(chorus)
Every day
There's a million lives
There's a million lies
That we can tell to ourselves
Many days, many ways
The water under the bridge
But I always knew
I'd dance my way to you
(verse 3)
Many years have gone by
I forgot all about us
And our song on the radio
Doesn't sing to my soul
I'd heard it too many times

Many days, many ways
The water under the bridge
But I always knew
