Liner Notes

I have written songs about many things over the years and have found inspiration in some very unusual places and this song is no exception. When a road block hinders your progress, look around you and you realize inspiration is "EVERYWHERE!" Who would have thought that a song could have been written about such a small (and seemingly unimportant) thing that we take for granted on a daily basis. Not my best in vocalization or guitar work but lacking the proper equipment and available time, I'll accept "one take" every time. Hope you enjoy. #acousticonetake #countryfolk #halfwaythere

Lyrics

The Lowly Charger Cable F.A.W.M. 2026 ©schnowd

It seems that as life moves through time And old gives way to new The world is using toys and tools To help us to get through

These marvelous things that have been made Are used most every hour But there’s one thing they’ll always need And that one thing is power

The battery is still in need In the products that we use But in the act of using them Some power they will lose

To bring the power back to full These devices must be able To connect to a recharging source Enter the Charging Cable

Here are a few electronic things That need me to connect To the one thing they will always need So my life won’t be wrecked

The number one item is my phone I would be lost without it Then there is the Apple watch As important, naw, I doubt it

Instrumental

Tablet, toothbrush, personal fan The list keeps getting longer Under shelf lighting and much more Is the power level getting stronger

Fitness tracker, metal detector Where will the madness end Microphone, power bank Electricity is my friend

That little piece of wire Metal shining at each end Has made itself indispensable On its existence we depend

In conclusion to this story And to help keep our lives stable Once thing you must remember Don’t forget your Charging Cable

Once thing you must remember Don't forget your Charging Cable

Sweet little ditty here Scott. It is amazing how many devices we need to keep charging. Would be a great kids song for that new grandson 😊

This feels almost like a latter-day Schoolhouse Rock, genuinely suitable for children but equally genuinely ever-so-entertaining for adults. It's both educational and super-fun to listen to. Indeed, I had a great time tapping my foot along to the tuneful delight!
