Craving Something Different
This song is a personal statement about losing sight of your dreams, living for someone else, and waking up one morning knowing you had to make a change
I am currently re-recording the guitar and vocal tracks on this page with Scott Nelson, a great musician with a natural talent for recording and bringing out the best in a song. We are working on a complete CD of original songs, finding my own unique musical direction and sound. Somewhere between traditional country and folk. Hopefully we will have it completed by early summer.
Story behind the song
About a time in my life when I got a little lost
Again Scott Nelson recording, thanks Scott, Scott playing lead, bass, and keys, Kathy playing her ol Martin D18 on 2nd guitar and shakers
Lyrics
Craving Something Different
These days I feel like a bird in a cage
I smile so sweetly to cover up my rage
I bought the fable, what a woman should be
I was there right beside you, to give you what you need
Chorus
now I'm tired of pretending,
and hiding from the truth
I'm craving something different babe
and I don't think it's you
it seems like a hundred years, since you took my hand
all my dreams are buried under your grander plans
I lost touch of the innocence, in the heart of a girl
who would lie awake and plan her attack on the world
chorus
bridge
I'm craving something different I can feel it on the wind,
I need to go where it's blowing, forget where I have been
Don't mean to sound accusing, it was me who was wrong
to carry on this masquerade of deception so long
yeah, yeah
I'm gonna leave now,you can say my good-byes
tell every body anything, fabricate a lie
I'm off to be a poet, or the singer in a band
or maybe just a vagabond, travelin' on this land
I'm just so tired of pretending, and hiding from the truth
I'm cravin' something different babe, and I don't think it's you
