Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write (with Nick Afflitto) a song about songwriting and relationships and how they parallel each other-in a nostalgic way. This song features LIBERTY DEVITTO (Drums-Billy Joel) and RICHIE CANNATA (Sax-Billy Joel). Neville L'Green (Bass) and Joe Guida (Guitar) also did an outstanding job on this song. We had a lot of fun putting this project together!!

Just a fun little diddy to tap your feet to!

(Verse 1)
This may sound-too obvious, but I'm not tryin' to be cool-
Cuz writing songs is like falling in love,
You shouldn't have to follow no rules
(Verse 2)
I still don't know what this song's about-I haven't made up my mind.
But maybe by the time the chorus comes 'round,
I'll scribble out the my first line.
(B-Verse 1)
Songs are nothin' but poetry in motion-playin' on your favorite guitar,
There's nothin' like a song at just the right moment-
When you're in the back seat of your daddy's car.
(Chorus)
Songs can make you mad-feel happy or sad-when you hear them.
Take you back in time-back when you were mine-
Back when you were oh so near me.
(Solo)
(Chorus)
(B-Verse 1)
When we made love it was poetry in motion-playin' on the strings of my heart.
That look you gave to me at just the right moment-
In the back seat of your daddy's car.
(Chorus)
(Vamp)
Songs-Take me back (Back when you were mine)
Take me back-songs-Take me back-yeah.
(Bridge)
All you gotta do-is close your eyes,
Can you feel it-can you hear it?
Let it take control of your spirit-woh woh-
(Chorus 2X)
(Vamp-Ad Libs)
Take me back-la la la la la la-Take me back
Take me back-back when you were mine-Take me back-yeah
Take me back-songs-Take me back-la la la la la la-
Take me back-songs- Take me back-yeah
Take me back-songs-Take me back-In the back seat of your daddy's car-
Take me back-Yeah-songs- Take me back-yeah
