about

A song about never having time for anything beyond receiving and responding to texts. "Blue" pushes his wife even further away with this new behaviour.

lyrics

I was gonna read a book, but I got a text
I was gonna learn how to cook, but I got a text
I was gonna write you a letter, but I got a text
I was gonna make you feel better, but I got a text, got a text, got a text,
got a text again

I was gonna buy you a gift, but I got a text
I was gonna give you a kiss, but I got a text
I was gonna take you for dinner, but I got a text
I was gonna try to get thinner, but I got a text, got a text, got a text, got a text again

I was gonna tell you I care, but I got a text
I would always be there, but I got a text
Gonna make sure you love me, but I got a text
And it feels like you judge me, so I gotta text, gotta text, gotta text, gotta text again

I was gonna sing you a song, but I got a text
I was gonna write all my wrongs, but I got a text
I was gonna say you look pretty, but I got a text
And you make me feel shitty, so I gotta text, gotta text, gotta text, gotta text again

I'm gonna let you go...

Great progressive rock from Rick Miller. Plenty of flute, vocal harmony, and strong guitar work. While many prog rockers are very uneven across their albums, Rick's characteristic songwriting approach never lets down but delivers a solid, consistent approach. Highly recommended! Dogger Dog
