Promises

As heard in season 1, episode 14 of FOX'S ROSEWOOD!

The Meltdown. It’s a bold, brassy, twangy steam train of bumping backbeats and swinging shuffles. Then there’s that voice. Sweet as honey. The voice is soul, but it’s country too and something else indefinable; like you heard it before but don’t know where… Introducing Better Days, The Meltdown’s first release on HopeStreet Recordings.

There’s a fair chance you haven’t heard that voice before, because for the last few years Simon Burke has been flying small planes out of small airfields in the dusty backcountry and taking refuge from the hustle and grind of the music business to raise a young family. The time off has been fruitful. A lifetime of writing and experience is condensed into a golden set of songs and a killer new band, The Meltdown, which Simon formed in collaboration with saxophonist and arranger Lachlan McLean. Great vibe, great players, great sound, but it’s the songs that are king here.

There are a lot of soul revival bands around, but the Meltdown’s angle is different  – Simon and Lachlan are both pretty country and The Meltdown has more than a bit of that Ray Charles country via gospel thing, and a taste of dirty blues in it too. Echoes of towns like Euroa and Avenel, where the boys blew in from, or just artistic license? Either way, if there’s one thing that soul and country can both do for you, it’s songs about heartbreak, so here’s some rippers. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you the inimitable voice and songwriting of Mr Simon Burke. And yes, in advance, you’re welcome.

Every Damn Day
A E A E (Verse) | B A E F#
Verse 1: A E
Still think about you lover, every damn day
In my dreams we’re still together, and I’m gutted when I wake up
All the years I’ve had to swallow, leaving such a bitter taste
All this pain, this shattered love love love
Every damn day
Chorus: B > A > E > F#m11
B A E F#m11 (G#)
I wish you would have talked to me and maybe you did but I didn’t want to hear 
I wish you would have let me in and maybe you tried, perhaps I wasn’t ready to see
E
Perhaps I wasn’t ready to believe
Verse 2:
It’s a shame about your brother, not much that I can say
Despite it all, I should have been there, I was pushing you away
I lost mine too love, things will never be the same
I learned that hard truth from you
Miss you every damn day
Chorus: 
I wish I could have helped you breathe and maybe I did, for just a little while
I wish you didn’t have to leave for me to see me, that I was never really there
That you needed to come up for air
Bridge/SOLO: E > F#m11 > C# > B > out of bridge, straight into Verse 3 (A)
Verse 3
Say hello to your mother, always treat me like son
It’s amazing what you realize, just too late to be undone
I still feel you here beside me, yeah, we’ll always have Spain
Bittersweet, I’m incomplete without you
Miss you every damn day
Chorus: B A E F#(mod) A
B A E F# (G#)
I wish I could have seen you grow old, been buried at your side, instead of saying goodbye
I wish I would have seen the world, through your eyes, instead of trapping you in mine
E
To find I was living a lie
E F#
Alternate: I miss you / every damn da
