Liner Notes

Another great write from David @mctown that was shared with me to add the music. This one took a minute to gel, but I always love the challenge.

Lyrics

We tried so hard
But it was nothing
When it could’ve been
A big nice something

We pushed so hard
We almost fell over
We hoped so long
We felt like lovers

But we can’t get there
If we don’t make it happen
But so far I don’t
Hear the crowd clappin’
I don’t get drunk for no one
Unless they’re buying and trying
To cut love loose
For a moment or two…

We piled on then
Till it was rolling
We drove on when
We got it a going

We drug out dirt
Powered up the hurting
Danced in place
Till it was working

But we can’t get there
If we don’t make it happen
But so far I don’t
Hear the crowd clappin’
I don’t get drunk for no one
Unless they’re buying and trying
To cut love loose
For a moment or two…

We got so lost
We thought we were found
So far up there
That we’ll need to come down

But we can’t get there
If we don’t make it happen
But so far I don’t
Hear the crowd clappin’
I don’t get drunk for no one
Unless they’re buying and trying
To cut love loose
For a moment or two…
For a moment or two…

Love the vibe you've created with the wonderfully rhythmic guitar and that lush lead. The contrast of the lyrics with the upbeat music is great and I grooved on down. Such a great line "I don’t get drunk for no one, unless they’re buying and trying...".

I feel the idea in the chorus, of frustration at continuing hard work. The message belies the easygoing music. It’s a nice contrast.

sounds like a jam happening in the van of a traveling band,
