about

This track was originally started in the 90s but was never finished then. A rough tape existed of the song - just some chords really - no vocal or melody. In early 2017 I came across the tape, along with some proto lyrics, and I decided to finish it off.

This song was the first one I started recording for the Found My Way album - as a way of trying out the Miacon studios in Horsell, Surrey.

It was always destined to be the first song on the finished album too.

lyrics

In my imagination, you’re standing right next to me
Your face open like a flower, you’re talking so naturally
But I can’t hear those words that you say
I know it’s got to be this way, or so they say.

At the back of my recollection, here in my wildest dreams
Was that time I knew so well, the girl in the magazine
The one you brought me home that day
It’s got to be this way,
Got to be this way, or so they say.

Don’t know if I can live without you
Just seeing if I’m still dreaming, the way it has to be

If seeing can be believing, I believe so totally
Try and keep all your thoughts on, that what you want to be
And I know that I’ll hear those words that you say
It’s got to be this way, got to be this way, got to be this way.
