Story Behind the Song
Capitol Floor is a hard-driving rock song that draws the listener deep into the story. The lyricist weaves a saga taken from the newsfeeds. The story starts when a politician asks for a vote, declaring, “If you vote for me things will change.” Do they? Elected politicians “play games with [their] gavel and speech/ It’s about which fellow Americans to defeat/We’ve been through some things, the virus and all.” No matter where you live or what politics you follow, listen to the words and reflect on the meaning. The lyricist did —- and “had to write this song” about what happened on the Capitol Floor.
