west

[thetworegs]

I'm off heading west to San Francisco for a MET with John Reefwalker from over on alonetone on Monday which should be fun and an adventure. So I wrote a song titled West hope you enjoy

I'm always walking backwards looking forwards
Dragged back to the past
You think i've got nothing left but for loving you
But babe thats not all I do
I dream when I am not with you
I dream of heading  west
Thats what I do
West is where the dreams begin
West I will I win
West is the direction I'm heading in

Break

Running in circle chasing my tail
Getting nowhere fast
Repeating mistakes over and over again
Everything I leave half-assed
Hitch up the wagons its time to leave
Its time to try to achieve
Its time for me babe
To leave 
West is where the dreams begin
West I will win
West is the direction I'm heading in

There is na tear in my eye
When I say too you my goodbyes
My head won't turn over my shoulder
My eyes will be straight they'll be no looking back
My dreams ahead I'm heading west
West is best
West is where the dreams begin
West will be where I win
West is the direction I'm heading in

Break

I'm walking backwards looking forwards
Dragged back to the past
You think i've got nothing left but for loving you
But thats not babe all I do
I dream when I 'm not with of you
I dream of heading  west thats what I do
West is where the dreams begin
West I will win

Everything goes
sometimes you have to tear it down to start again
Burn the past with all those memories
I don't want to cry but I got to say goodbye
Ive got to keep moving I've told you why 
I got to keep heading in the direction I'm going in
Yeah I'm heading West it's where the dreams begin
West I will win
West is the direction I'm heading in

Great song, Regs.  Relentless driving music coupled with lyrical imagery.  Splendid stuff

Enjoy your time in the States.

Good song Trevor. Nice fast paced tempo, I like the guitar strumming. Have a great time over there. I'm jealous.

[StephenM]

you are reminding me of the Who Going Mobile.. not the song so much but what you have been doing..
I got a feeling there will be some great tunes coming along from your trip west... hope you have a blast..

I love your guitar work on this Trev... all of it.

the vocals sound great as always.

That guitar and vocal are just so cool, have a great  met!!!

[Ray Brookes]

Great energetic song, Trev and excellent lyrics. Love that guitar work and hope you have a great time in the States.

Is this one you will record at your MET? I hear potential for driving drums and bass – if that's not too obvious.

[hardlock]

Besides what others say, I dig the low res narrative vocal tone you're getting. Too cool!

I wasn't sure about this, but then I went doing something else and it was stuck in my head, so it must be pretty good!

me too however one time I thought I might be able to add some drums on one of Trevs tracks... after a few hours of getting my arse kicked I gave up... I could not catch up to that incredible vibe...
might play with this just to see however... but I am not optimistic.
