GO BACK TO SLOW
Slow down. Breathe. Find peace.

GO BACK TO SLOW

Lyrics

The first time you open your eyes
It could be anywhere in the world 
A peaceful forest
Or an ocean beach
A small town or village 
A quiet countryside  
A busy noisy city in a tent
A war-torn country with fire and bombs


I ask why this is
Is it just random chance 
Good luck,bad luck
Rich family or poor 
Good health, or disabled 
Some can see, but some are blind
There are those who can hear the world
To others there is just silence


Some die at birth, others in the womb
An accident can end life quickly
A sudden illness, threatens your life
Some die, yet some survive
Why is this?
Who is pulling the strings
Or is it just happening chance


Life is quite a mystery 
A dreamy and soft ride for some
Agony and pain for others
Life can be very short 
Does that mean it does not matter 
A long life can lead to journeys 
For others just mundane and boring
Does that really make much sense
Or does it really matter?

And I Would Like To Cry


And I would like to cry
And I don’t know why
But it’s all right
Anyway 
Even if It makes me wanna go away
Make me ending the day 
Make me assault the D.J.
Make me fight the prayer 
You wanna play
Furiously writing to make the pain go away 
I mean what I say
Do you understand me
Or are you pretending
Only

Even if It makes me wanna go away
Make me ending the day 
Make me assault the D.J.
Make me fight the prayer 
You wanna play
Furiously writing to make the pain go away 
I mean what I say

And I would like to cry
And I don’t know why
But it’s all right
Anyway 

Do you understand me
Or are you pretending

Only if even it makes me
Or are you pretending

And I Would Like To Cry

Een uur in de Wind

"Petty’s song “Wildflowers” is a soothing, fan favorite from the late songwriter’s catalog. He first released the song in 1994 as the title and opening track on his second solo album, which was also his first solo album release with Warner Bros. Records. Outside of that, though, what other nuggets of wisdom are left to be plucked from Petty’s “Wildflowers”?       
The creative process for “Wildflowers” actually spooked the songwriter at first. The song had come out so easily that Petty had surprised even himself.

“I just took a deep breath and it came out,” he said in a 2014 interview. “The whole song. Stream of consciousness: words, music, chords. Finished it. I mean, I just played it into a tape recorder and I played the whole song and I never played it again. I actually only spent three and a half minutes on that whole song. So I’d come back for days playing that tape, thinking there must be something wrong here because this just came too easy. And then I realized that there’s probably nothing wrong at all.”

One Thing

“The Price of Two Coffees” is a song about how companies, especially when private equity takes over, turn people into numbers. It’s about workers who give years of their lives only to find out that loyalty means nothing once the balance sheet says they cost too much.
The title comes from the idea that a human life was measured against the cost of two coffees. Twelve dollars. 
That’s what separated survival from betrayal.
The cover shows a crumpled, coffee-stained receipt. On it, “Human Life” and “2 Coffees” are listed at the same price.
It’s simple and ugly, because that’s what the system has become.
This isn’t written for one person. It’s for everyone who’s been pushed aside when they needed support most. It’s a reminder that we are more than the math, and that resilience is something no spreadsheet can take away.
