[Chorus] [D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]

[Chorus] Oh oh ohhh Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but [C] not gettin' into someone I should [G] know
[Verse 2] Now he's [C] in another place and I can't [G] reach him and I [C] feel as though I'm guilty of a [G] crime [D] I took [Em] all he had to give and gave him [Bm] nothin' and [C] all it would have taken was some [G] time
[Chorus] Oh oh ohhh Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but n [C] ot gettin' into someone I should kn [G] ow

how to break it up 1. Different tempos 2. Some musical motifs from the songs 3. Perhaps a bit of soloing on one of the songs 4. How can you alter the vocals? 5. Need to tidy up the guitars as well 6. Sort shirts
Ideally have the vocal sounds change a bit, guitar sounds a bit and some riffs in there as well
Progress through Anthems Funky numbers Pop 80s,90s,00s Rock etc Find genres to cycle through
To go from acoustic to electric
Have to grab the quickly - very recognisable songs through to funkier numbers, then more soulful then close with bangers
Anthems from 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and beyond Pop Country Funk and Soul Rock Out Mellow out
Big hooks "Don't you want me baby" "First I was afraid" "So sally can wait" "Play that funky music" "Think about it" "Very superstitious" "Signed sealed delivered" "Hey yeah eh eh eh" "In your head" "I'm a creep" "Taking it easy" "I'm just a teenage ...." "Ahh, you gonna take me home tonight" "Simply the best" "Aint nobody - Chaka Khan" - not sure, high to sing "Jealousy - turning saints into the sea" "Rocket man" "Star man" "Freedom - George Michael" "Radio Gaga" Abba / ACDC / Sweet Home Chicago + Roadhouse blues mash up / Park Life / Wagon Wheel / Tenessee Whiskey / Iris KC and sunshine band / You to me are everything / Kool and Gang Celebration / Madonna like a prayer / MJ - Boogie / One republic - counting stars / Weeknd / Galway Girl / Tears for Fears"
Find some riffs in all of this and a narrative through all of this start big chorus the groove then more mellow then go out big
start big then move through the decades then groove then mellow then big finish
Find songs where you have changing chorus effects (double, 3rd, 3rd and fifth etc), changing vocal styles and some with some identifiable riffs / solos to mix it aall up
