THE REAR VIEW
Some of you may recall I had a car wreck last year where my back was broken and a one of a kind commissioned Yairi I inherited was demolished. 6 weeks ago I had my 2nd surgery as a result, a grueling 9 level spinal fusion. The pain was out of this world and I was egregiously undermedicated for it. I wrote my first new song in a few months about of all things my pain. Possibly a first of a song about surgical pain. It's called THE REAR VIEW.
It hurt, it hurt That's all I could say It seemed like the feeling Would never go away The whiskey & pills No longer would do It was a bonafide This getting' over you You cut me like a knife In a surgeon's trained hand When the bleeding stopped Was when I took a stand You'll never again No never get a chance Because I hate your tune And we'll never get to dance (CHORUS) I WATCHED MY WORST PAIN DISAPPEARING IN THE REAR VIEW THE FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD I GOT FROM YOU YOU'LL ALWAYS STAY IN MY REAR VIEW YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK I'M DONE WITH YOU YOU CAN CASH THIS CHECK YOU'RE STAYIN' IN THE REAR VIEW What you did to me No words could ever explain Depression came first And then world class pain The hole kept getting' deeper Till I saw no way out Puttin' up with you Is what misery's truly about The day finally came I could get up out of bed Determined to live again With you outa my head It still isn't easy But gets better day by day With you in the rear view Everything's better this way (CHORUS) Last edited by Kerbie; 02-07-2019 at 06:18 PM.

Sorry to hear about your pain Dave.
I'm so sick and tired of (redundant) love songs that I actually like your song. I have a friend who was also undermedicated, but during a vasectomy - over 20 years ago. The memory of that day still makes him intensely angry - so I try not to bring up anything that could possibly remind him of it. He is a very mild mannered guy, but you can see his blood pressure rise by looking at his red face when he thinks about it. When this happens, I just tell him to think about all the fun he had after that operation, and how it was all worth it. There must be a song in there somewhere also. Why don't you write it? |

This is the tentative, not too well thought out melody. Still fuzzy from months of pain meds. I have a lot of work to do on this! |
