Story Behind The Song

Angelica Cassidy wrote "I Won't Go Back" about a lost love, and her decision to never "go back to any moment, of any hour, of any day", with that person, ever again.

Song Description

"I Won't Go Back" is a country-pop song by Angelica Cassidy. The song begins with a brief four bar intro consisting of piano, baritone guitar, slide guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums. Building on the song's laid back feel, Cassidy's mesmerizing vocals enter with the first verse, and immediately capture the listener's attention. Light, tasty fills played by the guitars (now including electric guitars), and piano weave in and out throughout the first verse and chorus, nicely complementing Cassidy's engaging vocals. The groove intensifies slightly with the second verse, and well executed background vocals join the instrumentation. A beautiful slide guitar solo following the second chorus provides instrumental ear candy. The band brings the song into its final chorus with three subtle rhythmic hits and a walk down, and the song ends with one last piano fill. The heart of the song is found in the poignant lyrics which talk about never returning to abuse. Cassidy sings about abandonment, treachery, and deceit with lyrics such as "All I feel is sadness, and the pain of yesterday." However, she then proceeds to sing that "It's time for me to love myself, and find the strength to go on." With "I Won't Go Back," Cassidy wants to bring strength to survivors so that they never feel alone. "Please don't ever try to find me / What we had is surely gone / Now it's time for me to love myself / And find the strength to go on."

Lyrics

I Won't Go Back
By Angelica Cassidy and Bob Chitwood

V1
Too long ago, someone loved me
And for awhile, it was good
I never thought you would leave me
In a place, no one ever should

C1
All I know, is it happened
And there's nothing left to say
I won't go back to any Moment,
Of any hour, of any day

V2
I remember how you'd tell me
That you'd never leave my side
Now it's all lost in a memory
Left for the lonely to deny

C2
All I feel is the sadness
And the pain of yesterday
I won't go back to any Moment,
Of any hour, of any day

V3
Please don't ever try to find me
What we had is surely gone
Now it's time for me to love myself
And find the strength to go on

C3
All I hear is the laughter
As the pain just slips away
Cause I won't go back to any moment,
Of any hour, of any day
