⭐️ UPCOMING ALBUM ⭐️

Brave ~ Live from Frisco Texas (February 2020)

Brave

Brave is another song I *just* finished writing yesterday ~ a co-write with Patricia Bahia, and will have a funky rhythm section with some swampy slide guitars on the recording 

You’ll probably notice some melody and song form tweaks from this first version to the final recorded version ~ it’s all part of the creative process of songwriting through to recording & release.

I also did a Guitar Therapy performance of Brave. To watch that, click here. 

Lyrics

Gonna take home the gold or fall flat on my face

but either way I don’t leave anything up to fate

Cuz I been runnin’ this race for all of my life

and I ain’t never gonna stop till I get it right

Well I know you’ve been there too

Naysayers ain’t players ~ they don’t got a clue

they say it can’t be done

Well baby that’s alright

We’ve gotta be brave

Haters can hate

They ain’t gonna phase us

We show ’em how

How to be bold

Take control

Nobody can keep us

Nobody can keep us down

They try to knock us down in all kinds of ways

The insults they throw flow all the way down the page

Too skinny too fat too young or too old

No matter their chatter we’re out to break the mold

Well they say it can’t be done

But baby that’s alright

We’ve gotta be brave

Haters can hate

They ain’t gonna phase us

We show ’em how

How to be bold

Take control

Nobody can keep us

Nobody can keep us down
