Forward - Americana - "Get Back to the Start"

Post by johnnyrowing » Fri Aug 16, 2024 10:07 pm

It has been a long wearisome day. I was about to hang 'em up but thought I'd give my latest round of Americana submissions a gander . . . and . . . I'm gonna hit the hay with a bit lighter step. I got a forward!

I'm thrilled for lots of reasons but the biggie is . . . I just decided to be FULLY me. That's me singing in a way that feels good to me. I know I'm nasally. That long scooped "me" at the start of the Chorus is strange/eccentric/all-wrong/etc. but I LOVED it. So, I just went with it and decided to throw it out into the world. :)

It feels so good. Thank you listener #451

Lyrics
Alright, maybe I should come back
And listen to the ones that speak my tongue
I might be mixed up with the mud from
My hometown and vibranium

Ooh . . . don’t tell me
Ooh, don’t break my heart
You can console me
And tell me I can get back
Get back to the start
Yea

And I, I got something too wild
To be chained or satisfied
Inside, I’m all flames and bonfires
This heat’s a gonna burn bright into the night

Ooh . . . don’t tell me
Ooh, don’t break my heart
You can console me
And tell me I can get back . . .
Get back to the start
Yea,
Yea, get back to the start


Ooh . . . don’t tell me
Ooh, don’t break my heart
You can console me
And refuse to break my heart

Ooh . . . don’t tell me
Ooh, don’t break my heart
You can console me
And tell me I can get back
Yea, get back to the start

Yea, get me back to the start
Yea

Listening to the track now... sounds good, CONGRATS on the forward...
will have to follow along with the written lyrics 2nd time through.
Good to see & hear you with a good report on these forums, Amigo.
Cheers!
Peter

PS: funny - but I just watched an old movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" -
and this song would've been a GREAT - no, a PERFECT fit - to the story & era...
if ever there was a sequel, or something similar - HOME RUN!!
