about

primarily a Martha Anne Carr original, the song is a song of frustration with the singer/narrator upset that her love deals with everyone including her as if he is directing a film for which everyone should know the script as opposed to living in the moment.

lyrics

The Director

Well you go through life just like a film director honey thinking everyone will play into your scenes
But we’ve got our own minds, and we’ve got free will, and you’re not really sure just what that means.
So you take on some ultimate pure responsibility for everybody’s feelings and emotions
But we don’t have the scripts, and we keep missing the cues, and your silent direction is just causing commotion.

Just look at me, I’m doing what feels best
Just look at you, you can’t control what comes next
And just let go, feel how you feel my love
And just let it be, and just be real my love

Bridge

Well you get frustrated ‘cause it’s not going your way, and you’re not sure how to control it.
And the lights are going out, and the props are falling down, and you can’t seem to keep the subjects well lit.
And now your masterpiece is crumbling around you, and you’re powerless to change the movie.
Just look in my eyes, connect soul to soul, that’s when the film director in you can move me.

Just look at me, I’m doing what feels best
Just look at you, you can’t control what comes next
And just let go, feel how you feel my love
And just let it be, and just be real my love
