A New Act Two

Liner Notes

Here's a collaboration with Patty who provided the Lyrics. Warning: There has been some AI-usage in the creation process of the song (esp. with the vocals to make them fit the style of the song a bit better).

From Patty: I have enjoyed and admired @gfandme’s songs, so I asked them if they would like to collab on this lyric. Yes! A few days later, I got back this very energetic version. I got a kick out of the clapper at the beginning--very clever--and the creative instrumentation and the perfectly grungey vocal go really well together.

Lyrics

A new Act Two!

What chance did we have to make it
When even mountains erode
Why’d we think our love could take it
That we could crack the code

No big surprise that we blew it
We got so many things wrong
Really wish we could re-do it
Cause I’ve loved you all along

If you’d like to pick up the pieces
I have a few ideas

Let’s start over
With a new Act Two
A second wind, a grand re-do
A total re-set, pretend we just met
Let’s start over
With a new Act Two

Imagine a brand new beginning
Forget the tears of the past
Tell me straight up if you’re willing
And this time we’ll make it last

One extra shot at redemption
Our chance to have and to hold
You and I have the connection
Come on, let’s go for the gold

If you’re ready to take this chance
We can rewrite our romance

Let’s start over
With a new Act Two
A second wind, a grand re-do
A total re-set, pretend we just met
Let’s start over
With a new Act Two

Don’t let me talk you into this
It’s got to come from both of us
I know what I want, and that is you
But you have to want me, too

Let’s start over
With a new Act Two
A second wind, a grand re-do
A total re-set, pretend we just met
Let’s start over
With a new Act Two
