 About This Blog Thanks for stopping by the blog of singer/songwriter Dan Coyle; I'll keep this little gem up to date while on the road, writing, recording, and meeting my fans at shows. This may give you some insight into just how weird I can be - and all of the weird things I enjoy. There will be stories, poems, rants, musings, and other forms of writing that my feeble vocabulary cannot contend with. Hope you enjoy! Main Blog Page | March 11, 2012 Back Around It's been a long time since I've been truly excited to share a song. Maybe that doesn't sound quite right. (almost) Any song that I ever included on an album, I've thought has some great qualities to it. I guess this is what I'm trying to say: I think I've written my best song ever. PHEW! That's a scary thing to say. Not everyone, is going to like every song; and I can't tell you how rarely my favorites match up with crowd/fan favorites...hardly ever. But I think with "Back Around" we've found some common ground...and that rhymed. The song is simple, but still evocative. I'm very happy with, and proud of, the lyrics to this one. In all honesty, I get goose bumps when I sing the words sometimes...now that's something special! Below is the first live video we've captured of "Back Around". It's from March 4th at the Motorco Music Hall in Durham, NC. Below the video I've posted the lyrics. Hope you enjoy, my loves! LYRICS: Hollywood she said to me I'll be there by the morning when you wake I said awake from what you know there's no sleeping when you're gone Let's go out in the sun a while maybe I can burn my shadow into the ground And that's how you can come to me 'til I'm back around Sketch me how you see me and you know that I can come to life in front of you Dance me down the hallway just before the curtain falls like we always do And the rumble of our feet will sound like thunder claps to you and me as we follow the sound back again And that's how you can come to me when I'm back around I'll hang a map up on the wall for you to see all the ways to get to me What's left for us to look back on when all this life is done and gone anyway Just meet me here face to face in no other time and no other place you said to me And that's where I will be when you're back around Pick me up one last time squeeze me tight and make feel alright I can paint you little films to play inside your mind til I'm outta sight One of me and one of you silhouette streaming through the night And that's how you'll remember me When I'm back around |
