Tell Me How You Feel

Fast country

This was another bouncy pop song until Steve and I played around with his Band in a Box. Lots of sample-rejigging later it became a very fast country song!

Speak up speak your mind, tell me how you feel
I just can’t wait to hear
Hoping you won’t be unkind, hope I’m being real
Won’t give in to fear
If my logic’s not fallacious then I think you will agree
Please don’t be mendacious when the truth will set you free
Time to commit yourself, time to do the deal
Take a bow and tell me how you feel

Sneak up on your thoughts, catch them by surprise
When your guard is down
Strategies come to naught when love is on the rise
Smooth those hackles down
A little perturbation in your self-sufficiency
Might cause a revelation, send you spiraling to me
You’ve been rammed your motor’s jammed so why not freewheel?
Take a bow and tell me how you feel

Oh what consternation, feel those forces pull and push
Oh focused concentration, no time to beat about the bush

Sometime you must surrender to gain the upper hand
Bring you to the fore
I’m no pretender, I’m making long-term plans
It’s you that I adore
Strength in isolation might seem to be the norm
But with a little duplication you can weather any storm
Time to commit yourself, time to do the deal
Take a bow and tell me how you feel
