Liner Notes
#familytree #heritage #research #singersongwriter #acoustic #guitar For a few years now, Iโm working on my family tree, only the direct line. It gives you a good insight into history. And once you're in the 12th century it makes you realize we're all brothers and sisters.

Lyrics
Itโs a simple fact: Twenty generations back a million people were making me
Names in dust and stone lives Iโve never known theyโre the roots of my family
Got their genes got their blood got their DNA My ancestry my history alive in me today
Genealogy more than a memory Itโs every part of what Iโll be
Two to the power of many people making love Iโm studying the direct line
Birth, vows and death centuries of breath come together in one design Thatโs me!
Got their genes got their blood got their DNA My ancestry my history alive in me today
Got their genes got their blood got their DNA
My ancestry my history alive in me today
Genealogy more than a memory Itโs every part of what Iโll be

You got me singing along again Max, ... got their genes, got their blood got their DNAAAA.... you never fail to come up with a catchy hook and a foot-tapping rhythm. Cool subject for a song too.
I love this concept so much! Yes it's true we are made of millions of people. We think about ourselves at the top of a pyramid but we are at the bottom! Love your hook!
Loving the fade out at the end! Oh man, youโre just so awesome!

Wow! Great song. A real sing-a-long chorus. This song of yours arrived at me at the right moment. Today I thought a lot about my dad who suddenly passed away, now 38 years ago today. Thanks Max.
