I'M GOING TO AMERICA (Lyrics)
I'm going to America
I'm going to America
I'm going to America to see if the life is really free
if you can live your very own dream
I'm going to America
I'm going to America to find the heart of this precious land
to venture into the dream land
I'm going to America
I'm going to America
where I'm going to see
if I can find  me
I'm going to America to find me
I'm going to America
I'm going to America
I'm going to America to try to find the heart of this precious land
to delve behind the dream
I'm going to America
I'm going to America
where I can see if I can really live my dream
to see if i can find me
going to America
going to America
where the bizarre meets the dream
where the dream can be real it seems
I'm going to America
I'm going to America
I'm going to America to find the land of the free
the land of the free

Blimey, I really enjoyed this one Reg, simple construct but excellent vocals! You've put into words what most Brits aspire to and think about the USA. Would love to see it get a more complex arrangement from you, and curious to see what the guys in the US think?

Great song and vocals!

Good vocals regs! You know the old saying "the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence" is something to consider, or in this case it should be the other side of the pond lol. I think your lyric line "where the bizarre meets the dream" probably describes my outlook on America the best. Strange things can happen here. With the US economy in the dumps..... it let's us know that it's certainly not the land of the free. Although I think it's a good time to check us out......travel and lodging accommodations are cheap at this time.

I've never been to the UK either but I would certainly like to vacation there sometime.

Again, nice vocal work!

Damn, I like this one! And not just because I've been to 46 States, lol. The piano is fabulous and works so well with that alternating soft / powerful vocal. An incredible melody that has overtones of Gershwin to my ears - perfect for the subject. I could also hear Jim Morrison singing this, as it reminds me of his range and delivery. I'm a bit bowled over by this one - gotta say I think it's my favourite of yours so far!

I missed it! I like it! (and let my musical mind travel there too....)

I sh#t rainbows and wipe with kittens here in America, so come on over it's great!
Really liked this one!
Dream on!

One day I would like to go to America... they seem to forget Alaska is part of the US.

[thetworegs]

thanks everyone@ Ratatat now Alaska that is a dream both me and my wife have so maybe one day that will actually be a reality........but the children are small 6,4,2 and one on the way in January so it's a distant dream at the moment .......one day.....@ Hook that's one crazy diet your on out there....@ Farrell England is the opposite at the moment everything is as expensive as hell and taxed way too high....but at least song writings free.......for now ......once the government see we're enjoying ourselves for free they'll be taxing that too......

[Redler]
