Memory Lane by Rolow

[Rolow]

I wrote this lyric late one night back in April for a One Chord Festival.  The production came out very, very dark and I didn't like it.  I pulled it out again in June for Past Fest, a different production, but I still didn't like it.  I finally fell upon a production I like ok, so here it is, now with two chords.  I think it's about growing older.  Thanks for listening.

MEMORY LANE                                                  


I'm always going where I've already been
I live the same events again and again
Been there before, I won't cry or complain
Been there before, it's called Memory Lane

Don't know why this is happening to me
Seems what I am is all that I'll be
Good or bad, it's all the same
Just like everything on Memory Lane

This may be the last thing I ever do
Of the things I remember, the best is you
You might expect I'd remember the name
It's just one more thing on Memory Lane

This life is mine to live as I would
Don't know what I can, but I know what I should
All I can do is try to keep myself sane
Keepin' it straight on Memory Lane

Don't know how much more I can take
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna fake
Nothing to lose, not much to gain
Nothing is new on Memory Lane

I can't leave now, I can't run away
I know forever that I'll have to stay
So this is where I'll always remain
Walking the hard bricks of Memory Lane

A lot of depth to this one.
A nice piece of work!

Yeah, great feel to this... it has a great downbeat feel ooozing with emotion. Spot on with the production!

I like it - a lot! The music turned out quite bouncy, and that reminds me a bit of The Kinks in the combination of lighter music and darker lyrics. The production sounds perfect, to my ears.

Superb.

reminds me a bit of The Kinks

That's also the vibe I got from this. Very nice recording and lyric.
