What’s In A Song? – Volume 3 on Spotify
Lyrics: Shirley E. Matthews (US) |
Stay Around |
This song was done with the map of the USA at hand. Needed to find out what route the singer would take leaving California riding around a bit and making (unanswered) phone calls to home and then finally decides to go back to California again.
Got impression that could be a trip of a few days: California, Oklahoma and Colorado. These places also sounded nice in the song ofcourse but I needed to be sure if that route could also be done in real life by car. Ofcourse it’s all about problems with the relation why the singer leaves California (it needs a change) but finally decides to return home again. Only to find the phone is now blocked for all his calls at the end of the song. It’s not always happy endings in songs ofcourse… |
Baby I’m in California and I’m feeling fine But I thought to let you know some and what is one my mind Seems so strange, can’t explain Baby I’m in Oklahoma and all goes swell Tried to reach you but no reply
Baby I’m in Colorado on my way back home Seems so strange… |
