Hey friends! A few years ago, I picked up an acoustic guitar at a music store and this cool, finger-picking chord progression came out. Once I came up with a short vocal melody, I knew I had to go home and work it out on my own turf. ✏️ 📓🎸
"Get Gone" is mostly about the journey that we all take to find out who we are. Learn all you can wherever you are, so that you know how to survive when it's time to move on. I somehow lost the tracks recorded with my mics, so I hope you enjoy the quality of my phone!
LYRICS
I'm just a product of all that I've seen
I've seen a lot,
I've been up top,
I've been down low
I've been all around, probably lived in your town
But not for long,
the wind's too strong;
gotta keep moving on
Through all the friends that I've lost
I can say I've gathered no moss
And the one thing I have found when the walls come tumblin' down
Get gone
I'm just a fighter for all that I love
I've loved a lot, so I've fought and I've learned
I've learned when to stand, when to challenge the man,
and when to run, when to come and when to go
And when I look to the stars,
I can say I've earned all my scars
and the one thing I really learned is when the city starts to burn
Get gone
'cause I move on
'cause I move on
Yeah, I move on
Oh, get gone
Through all the lines that they've drawn
I keep it up, I keep moving on
And the one thing I can say is write a will or right away
Get gone
Get gone!
When my band, Mightier Than Me, first started, I brought "Get Gone" to the group, wondering how it could possibly work in a high-energy rock band. A true testament to the awesome minds I get to work with, we had a kick-ass electric version which can be found on our debut EP, "Mightier Than Me":
