Studio Recording: Back Into My Life (Original Song)

in #music6 years ago

This is a song from my album, Standing Still. It was written during a flurry of songwriting frenzy that produced many of the songs that ended up on the record. "Back Into My Life" came from a place of longing. I fell in love with a girl who I never really got over, and this was my outright declaration of love for her. She never has, as far as I know...to this day gotten the message.

When I was recording my album, this song was one that I really wanted to be included. It was a song that segued perfectly from the one before it, but the recordings just didn't have any kind of excitement. Nothing stood out. Then, one day, the guitar player showed up with a mandolin. He said that he had just bought it, and if I had anything that needed some mandolin on it, that it was here and he would do it. I immediately thought of this song...mandolin was the perfect boost for it. And I didn't just add a sprinkle...we drowned the song in mandolin. And I think that's what made it a true keeper for the album.

So, here's the album version of "Back Into My Life". I hope you like it, and I hope you'll check out the rest of the album here:

BACK INTO MY LIFE
words and music by DINO ROMANELLI

I was walking around downtown today
Nothing to do so I thought I'd come by your way
Feeling alone and wanting to see you again
Doesn't it matter to you who I've been with or where I've been

It's been a long long time since you took me by surprise
You've had a hold on me since I first looked in your eyes
It was just the strangest thing when I walked out one summer night
Now I'm coming back to you baby, cause without you it just ain't right

Seems to me
Seems to me
That I've got to get you back into my life
Is it where you want to be, oh can't you see
That I've got to get you back into my life
It's got to be you and me

Traveling down the road without you gets harder day after day
Thinking about the lonely feelings that I picked up along the way
I ain't been a happy man without you so I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm coming back to you baby cause it's got to be me and you

Seems to me
Seems to me
That I've got to get you back into my life
Is it where you want to be, oh can't you see
That I've got to get you back into my life
It's got to be you and me

Hey Dino, if I buy this album how much of the 10.99 goes to you?

At cdbaby, I get 91% of the sale for an album download from their site.

That's pretty great Dino! I'm interested...but I'm going to be completely honest when I say the song I really want is Play it On Through!

Would you be willing to sweeten the deal for me, email me an mp3/whatever version? I'm not savvy enough to rip it from youtube...

Hey, Alex...thank you so much! It really means a lot to me when someone buys one of those. It doesn't happen often. I do hope you enjoy it!

Play It On Through...here's the story. It was one of those songs that I wrote and kind of forgot about. It kept getting put on the backburner, and I eventually didn't even think about it. I don't think I've ever even played it live.

So...I have two versions of this song. I have the youtube version that I recorded just a few days ago (the one you heard). I can try to get that to you in an email. I also have a demo version from about six years ago...the quality is better, but the performance is not as good. I hadn't played it in a long while. I can try to send you either one, or both. Your choice, and I'll see what I can do to make it happen.

Again...I so appreciate you digging my music! Thank you!!!!

I'll take 'em both! I've listened once around on the album, going to go around a few more times before I make a post about it.

I can dig it! And the pleasure is mine, they say here on steem we 'mine' human gems of the mind,and that's just what I fancy, finding the treasure!

Okay, then! Let me get started on this for you. Thank you for your support...so much!

Thanks for replying, always reminds me to go check out your new stuff :)

Ok Dino, well I bought the album, and I chose the option where you can see my email address! Please contact me about my copy of the song Play it On Through! I am negotiable :)

...oh...and either version, no charge. Heck...you bought my whole album. It'll be a bonus track.

Oh yeah, you gotta know how much I love bonus prizes!

It sounds cool Dino... It's gonna be my #nowplaying today's entry , if you don't mind XD
Keep rock'n steeming :)

Absolutely...any time! Thank you!

Hey...thank you! That's a huge compliment! :)
