Duration: 5 min
Description: I wrote this song 20 years ago. It's Probably my first decent song! I was searching and a little sad, but loved R&B and Blues, so I felt like it was upbeat. :)

I wrote this song 20 years ago. It's Probably my first decent song! I was searching and a little sad, but loved R&B and Blues, so I felt like it was upbeat. :)

This was a co-write with F-M Cossey!
It's called " Get Up Off the Floor"
Steve Beckett re-mixed and mastered it to make it sound like a recording from the 30's and 40's.

 A ballad n the style of the great Billie Holiday sung by the wonderful Mary Reynolds with lyrics by F-M Cossey, composed and arranged by Louise Goldberg,
sax solo by Barry Titone and originally  produced by Scott Free!
Me on piano.

Get Up Off the Floor – Lyrics by F-M Cossey Music by Louise Goldberg


You’re on your knees, you’re sorry
I didn’t think you’d sink that low
Well, you can get up, get up off the floor
Make sure you shut the door as you go

You say it meant nothing
Don’t know how it happened, no
Well, you can get up, get up off the floor
Make sure you shut the door as you go

The hours I used to weep
Crumpled in a heap
Wondering why, whatever did I do
Once you were my man
Who held my heart and hand
But now I don’t mean  anything to you

You know how long I’ve waited
For you to crawl back home
Well, you can get up, get up off the floor
Make sure you shut the door as you go

So now I’ve heard your story
I didn’t think you’d sink that low
Well, you can get up, get up off the floor
Make sure you shut the door as you go


Get Up Off The Floor (Vintage Style Recording Version)

I wrote this song 20 years ago. It's Probably my first decent song!
I was searching and a little sad, but loved R&B and Blues, so I felt like it was upbeat. :)
