Happy Sunday. This week I thought I'd do a song spotlight as I haven't done one in a while. The song I’d like to share is one I wrote a few years ago as an ode to the innocence of childhood. It's called Take Me Back, and as the name suggests it's about reminiscing and longing for the past. That said, contrary to the title, it isn't necessarily about wanting to go back, but rather preserving and adopting the rose-tinted, positive outlook from yesteryears. This, I feel, is sorely needed now more than ever, as we find ourselves growing more pessimistic, despite evidence to the contrary.

When I do these song spotlights I usually share just the lyrics because most of my music lyrics can stand alone as poetry, and because most of my songs haven't been recorded yet. However, today I can do you one better and share both the lyrics and the recorded track, which I released a few years ago. Let me know what you think of the lyrics below, and please listen and share the music with your friends, your family and your hairdresser.

1

Do you remember

How we used to dance

Do you remember

How we played in the sand

Take me back to when

We had no bills to pay

Take me back to when

There was nothing like payday 

Take me back to when

All we did was play

Take me back in time

To relive the good old days 

2

Do you remember

When we played hide and seek

Do you remember

When we used to climb the trees

Take me back to when

We lived like bumblebees

Take me back to when

We were wild and free

With no care in the world

No one to impress

No fears at all

No such thing as stress 

3

I remember

Being care-free and naive

Oh I remember

When I was just a kid

But today's here to stay

And I don't know tomorrow

But I hope I say someday

Of these memories I've made

That I lived with all my might

 That I made the most of our time

Cos I only get one life

We only get one life

P.S.: My debut non-fiction book, Art Is The Way, and my middle-grade novella, A Hollade Christmas, are out everywhere now. You can get them in all good bookstores and from all major online vendors.
