Feb 2022 pop-rock geek-rock nostalgia
When we would look up at the sky a sense of magic in our eyes
When we would wish on falling stars
We taught ourselves to just believe, we did the work, rolled up our sleeves
Not knowing when we’d gone too far
This isn’t where I thought we’d be…
This is what happens when you get what you want
Before you knew what the world was.
This is what happens when you get what you want,
what you wanted when you were young.
When you were young…
We set our hands to the controls, breathed our souls into our goals,
All of the wonders sparkling
And now we’re bursting at the seams, but these are all recycled dreams,
All bought and sold by marketing.
This isn’t where I thought we’d be…
This is what happens when you get what you want
Before you knew what the world was.
This is what happens when you get what you want,
what you wanted when you were young.
When you were young you wanted everything that you could see
All of the heroes you could be as advertised on your TV…
This isn’t where I thought we’d be…
This is what happens when you get what you want
Before you knew what the world was.
This is what happens when you get what you want,
what you wanted when you were young.
When you were young…

I loved the vibe and the song - I just wanted you to really go for it on the word "be"

Great, hopeful dreamers unite in their mess!! I'd put the first lift on the first "where we'd be" and play down the first "this is what happens" - but I'm no musician or vocalist really, that's just a listener's thoughts.

KILLING ME! So good.

DUDE. This is... DAMMIT! You've written ANOTHER song I wish I had written! I can't promise I'm not gonna cover this

This song feels good with its positively upbeat rhythm and attitude.
