Liner Notes

@cindyrella invited me to have a go at this lyric and I tell you, it was a wild ride trying to record the arrangement. It eventually settled on a real 80's rock trip which gives some nostalgia vibes. BTW, the synth sound is the same one used on "Jump" by Van Halen. Love that song, twas the inspiration for this one :)

Lyrics

How About a Wild Ride?
© 2024 Cindy Prince

Once upon a time
In the land where nothing makes sense anymore
I looked out my window
Then opened up my door
Do I run away
If I do, to where
Is this real life
And if it is, does anybody care?

Once upon a time
In the land where only music rules
Do I go it alone
Or suffer with the fools
Do I stay in the dark
Or seek the limelight
Is this the world, blah, blah question mark

Chorus
Don't know where I'm going with this
Maybe my brain's fried
Maybe with all the moving mouths
I'm screaming from inside
Are there other's like me
That want to go on a wild ride?
How about a wild ride?

Once upon a time
In the land that spins faster and faster
Do I paint what I see
Or smear on new plaster?
Do I go off on a journey
Or stay where I am known
Do I join a group of like minds
Just to say that I've grown?

Repeat chorus

PARTICULARLY intriguing rockable lyrics, Cindy! Great job! And WHAT A VOCAL on this (not to mention that hard-rocking music!) Awesome collaboration, you two! ❤️

Yup captured era and style spot on. The lyric is just right in that style as well! This could play on Rick classics and nobody would notice it had slipped in! Nice collab!

skillful appropriation of some 80's classic rock riffs to set a fire beneath cindy's lyrics to shoot them off into the stratosphere. vocals are a perfect fit for the music,
