Some songs on the GO CD

I didn't get to talk about five of the songs I've heard that will be on the GO album because it started storming real bad while I was posting this topic, and I had to shut down in a hurry.

What I know about some of the songs on the new album.
GO
I've heard from other fanclub members who have been to Pat's shows recently, where Pat is performing the song "Go" and they've been saying that the song Rawks bigtime. I'm waiting to see what Jana says about it after she sees Pat's show tomorrow in St Louis.
BRAVE
Another song that Pat is performing called, "Brave" is a very beautifully written ballad that Pat and Neil perform acoustically during their shows. I don't know if it's done that way on the album though. I've only heard this song twice so I can't recall many of the lyrics.

GIRL
This song was originally the working title of the album. It's a guitar driven song that has one woman talking to another and telling her to find her own direction and not to rely on someone else to tell her what to do in life.

I Won't
This is another guitar driven song that talks about a women who was there when her man needed her, but when she needed him he turns away. Now she's moving on and she won't be still.

Please Don't Leave Me
Is a ballad that stays in your head and talks about a woman who sits by her window crying her heart out because her man is not there, and she feels she make it without him.
Chorus:
Please don't leave me, not this time
I don't think I, can survive it
I'd have nothin', not even my pride
So Please Don't Leave Me, not this time

Out Of The Ruins
Is a song that's done as a Waltz, A style Pat & Neil have never written in before. The song was written about the Holocaust and about a young married couple who are very much in love, they get separated by war and the man's search for his wife.
Some Lyrics:
He felt the warm winds encircle his heart
Softly and gently caressing
All of his being, every part
His love for her was unending
She was all that he dreamed of, all of his life
For her there was no other
Happy were they, as man and wife
Happy were they, that summer

The last four songs above are also on Pat's LIVE Summer Vacation Tour Soundtrack and DVD. I don't know anything about the remaining six songs on the GO album.

Less than 24 hours to GO !! :)

I'm finally going to get to see her (and Neil of course)..after many years of waiting for this chance. :)

I'll probably not be able to give you a report until Sun or Mon sometime. I have my camera ready too!

I'll be waiting to hear your review, Jana!
I've got another month before I'll be able to see Pat.:(

Have fun at the fest!!!

Thanks Sarg! We will...(want me to tell her you said "Hello" ? LOL!! Don't I wish! ;) )


Well...we are leaving here in about 40 min. Have a great holiday..(might see a couple of you later today :) ) I am out of here!
