START DANCING AGAIN - (Original Song) - Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics
The sun shone today,
And I'm happy to say,
"I feel great"
I've forgotten the reasons,
Rediscovered my feelings,
Too late.
But I'm making the best,
With the hand I've been dealt.
It's been so long,
Since I even felt.
A spring in my step,
A glint in my gaze,
I'm smilin' so much,
While I'm feelin' the rays,
Of a brilliant sun,
That's been shinin' for days.
Of a brilliant sun,
That's been shinin' for days.
Who would of thought it?
Who would have guessed?
Who saw it comin'?
I just needed a rest.
Time waits for no one,
And it passed me by.
There's no point in me knowin',
But I'm eager to try.
To catch hold of a moment,
That's fleetin' and rare.
Look at me smilin',
I don't have a care.
Dance away grey sky's,
Dance away rain.
Dance away you'll find,
You start livin' again.
Dream away the maybes,
We all need a change.
I'm prepped and well ready,
To see better days.
I need a fresh start,
I need to breathe.
I've had enough,
Of bein' down on my knees.
I need directions,
to where I don't know.
I'm happy enough
To go along with the flow.
To catch hold of a moment,
That's fleetin' and rare.
Look at me smilin',
I don't have a care.
I'm embracin' the mornin',
I feel lighter than air.
Hold me in silence,
Without a care.
If I only knew,
If I had plan.
If I'd only tried,
To do the best that I can.
Catchin' a wiff,
As the veil starts to lift,
From my eyes.
Here before me stands a life.
I've danced away grey skies,
I've danced away rain.
I've got a lust to start livin' start livin' again.
I've got a lust to start livin' livin' again…
The sun shone today,
And I'm happy to say,
"I feel great"
I've forgotten the reasons,
Rediscovered my feelings,
Too late.
But I'm making the best,
With the hand I've been dealt.
It's been so long,
Since I even felt.
A spring in my step,
A glint in my gaze,
I'm smilin' so much,
While I'm feelin' the rays,
Of a brilliant sun,
That's been shinin' for days.
Of a brilliant sun,
That's been shinin' for days.
Who would of thought it?
Who would have guessed?
Who saw it comin'?
I just needed a rest.
Time waits for no one,
And it passed me by.
There's no point in me knowin',
But I'm eager to try.
To catch hold of a moment,
That's fleetin' and rare.
Look at me smilin',
I don't have a care.
Dance away grey sky's,
Dance away rain.
Dance away you'll find,
You start livin' again.

We all need a change.
I'm prepped and well ready,
To see better days.

I've got a lust to start livin' livin' again…

Lyrics It begins with a sense of wonder, until it leads you’ to your grave, and the promise that tomorrow brings, will find the truth in everything. If we stand, we are brave. No matter how far you can climb, you will always find a steep decline. To dream the schemes that move inside you. Gravity… a sweet caress, we know that fate will do the rest. As we walk toward the sunset of our days. Hope...

LYRICS The river’s wide, the bridge is gone, Shadows stretch, I carry on, The moon don't shine like it used to do I leave the old for somethin new. The road is long, the stars are dim, I chase the night on a broken whim, With heavy heart, but lighter load, I keep on walkin' down that road. Shadows fade in the morning light, Left my world in black and white, Many colours I’ve never known, Leavin...

Lyrics Rain, thunder and ocean waves, A moon so full I feel lost. I thought of crossing to the other side, And I didn't mind the cost. I hope that there's somewhere out there, It kept me awake last night, All that have are the memories, I swear that I'm feeling alright. I made a decision to put somethings right, Some others were left where they lay, There's nothing else there but the sad vacant...

Lyrics This can't go on, Dragging up the same old story. "It's time" he said, "To put away my tales of glory" "The world's moved on, And the past is where it should be" He kept his souvenirs, And wears his scars with pride. There's no point in worrying, Take your time, no hurryin', They can all wait, You've go nothin' left to prove" If only someone stopped, To take a look inside. His thoughts a...

Lyrics I was drowning in my sorrow, With no strength left to fight. Every whisper in the silence only led me to the night. I was searching for redemption, In the shadows of my pain, But every road that I travelled, Just brought me back again. All through the morning, As I tried to rise and stand, I stumbled on the memories, Of the fire in my hands. In the slow destruction of my soul. In the slo...

Lyrics They sell you the motto, go hustle, go fight, But how can you soar when you’re grounded in flight? They act like it's all in the work and the will, But the deck's been stacked, it’s a hustle for real. They sellin’ you a dream, like it’s made in a day, But they don’t mention the price that you pay. You climbin' a mountain that’s missin' the peak, While they sit on the top man, talk is che...

We picked a direction, But we're straying off course, All we have left is a...

Lyrics You sang songs of freedom, In times of change. Remembering how, They've been rearranged. What does it matter, You had no choice. To open your mouth, And let them hear your voice. And now you're diggin', In the dirt. You've still got pride, Even when it hurts. Don't you cry, It ain't so bad. To lose the things, You've never had. You don't have money, You ain't got fame. While they try the...

Lyrics It took me an age to lift myself, From the deep pit of despair. It took me an age to forgive myself, As if anybody cared. I showed myself to the world, They saw through all my lies.

Friends tried the...

Lyrics Flood my mind with images, broken hopes and dreams, Try to wipe away the tears, drown out all the screams. Listen for a second, As the sun begins to rise. You leave yourself wide open, your fear lies in disguise. See her as she's falling, Catch her if you can, Sooth her every worry, Stand up and be a man. Delicate and fragile, Wrapped in your embrace. Help her see the future and all it's...

If we could make a difference, Would...

Lyrics If saying goodbye was so easy, Why do I want to run back to you? I stand terrified you can't see me, Time and again I wish it weren't true. I'm blind to the concept, Of having known love, I stand defeated, As I see above the oncoming rain. Before me stands beauty, I let it slip away. I still feel the loss, There's no more I could say, about love, love, love, about love, about love, love,...

Sounds great
At the end there is the impression to have read a good book ... a book with a great soundtrack. (wonderful melody of the verses....). Great guitar too
Yes. We could be accused of that book having certain similarities to 'War & Peace' but what a fun song to do. Great lyrics to drive me and a more positive context. Loved working on this song :)
Thank you Frank. You inspired me to write some positive lyrics for a change. 😁
@@lescorlett4133 :)
mmm great song, that make me think about how i prefer the oriental teaching "the end is important in all things" above the "It's the journey that matters, not the destination" that we listen often in the western world. At the end or "all this moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain" or "nope... that climb had a meaning".
That's an interesting perspective! Focusing on "the end is important in all things" gives purpose and closure, while "it's the journey that matters" can sometimes feel unresolved. The "tears in the rain" line highlights impermanence, whereas "that climb had a meaning" validates the struggle by proving the effort mattered in the end. Both ideas resonate, but valuing the destination keeps us intentional and grounded. Less's writing here really struck a chord. It was an easy song to compose due to the great lyrics! Thanks for the comment as usual Francesco.
Yup it's basically the journey of life. From the moment we're born to our final decline.
@@lescorlett4133 "final decline"... yes that a bit "nihilistic" undertone emerge from the lyrics, making the song powerful (I can never write enough about how amazing artists you two are) but also a bit sad.
@francesco5581 That's down to me suffering from depression and anxiety for years. Also the fact I'm a recluse and don't interact with a lot of people. So I use poetic licence in symptoms I have experience with but I always try to inject a little bit of hope because we all need that.
You know what ? i dont like it because it's JUST a incredibly VERY GOOD song which has the misfortune of coming right after that masterpiece of "Open to dreaming" !!! (that for me is one of the best 10 songs of the last ten years)
Haha, we will take that!! Thanks Francesco :)
Don't worry Franc, we'll try and put out a crap one for a bit of balance soon mate. 🤣 Happy Christmas to you and yours buddy. ❤
Beautifully crafted as ever.
Thanks Chris. I enjoyed composing this. It had some challenges playing outside my normal style but great fun!! My keyboard skills definitely improved doing this one! haha
Me n him forevere🎉
Been a BIG DREAMER ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️🙄☁️ …my whole life so this song totally fits in my melon full of mellow imaginations 👍
❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed listening to this, thank you
I cant stop to think about Bowie singing this song softly walking on clouds ... "All that I have are the memories, I swear that I'm feeling alright...."
Major Bowie vibes I love it ♥️
he would have been proud to sing that !!
and another masterpiece ... the idea of "that place over there" is what makes us still going on. Great great song.
Cheers Franc, much appreciated mate.
Very nice one !! deep and relaxing (as always), liked the ending musical twist !!... i would have made all the video just with the last animation that fits the song perfectly... but thats me !
aaaargh i didnt see it, great work as usual ... and the lyrics here are also so happy (ehehehehehe)
@@francesco5581 Thanks so much Francesco!
Wow!!💥 - this was something to behold to hear/watch this immersive video early this morning after just discovering on Soundcloud the incredible music and verses of Phil Dutton & Les Corlett! - you're going to be a tonic to The Budget today which could be 'a slow destruction of my soul too'! But seriously, your video and song sobers one up - reminding us of the thousands of lives all over the country right now caught up in drug addiction and the misery and loss of life it causes. In 2023, Scotland recorded 1,172 victims from this addiction (RoS). THANK YOU both of you - looking forward to enjoying more of your sensational, original tracks this week!.....🎶🎹i🎸🎤
they have a bunch of songs that i would put without hesitation in the top 30 of my life.
Cheers Nick.
One of my favourites , love it all round brilliant 😊
@@chrislee2090 Cheers Chris.
The first time man....Good Lucky...
damn abyss to get you 💪😁
Caught this the other day it earwormed the f*** out of me. Keep up the great work. 👍
Love this !! Totally awesome !!
It's a nostalgic rhythm, I used to listen to it a lot.😎😎
lovely, and i would like to read the lyrics !!
Please see description :) Thanks for the reminder Francesco 👍👍👍
very nice !!
Cheers Francesco.
This is the BEST version and always will be LONG 🎸🎶🎵🎶
Got my toe tapping.

The chorus is magical, deep and emotional...
Lyrics It took me an age to lift myself, From the deep pit of despair. It took me an age to forgive myself, As if anybody cared. I showed myself to the world, They saw through all my lies. If they really want to know the truth, Look deep into my eyes. The pain I felt came with a cost, One I can now reveal. I tried to hide how deep I sank, And how I couldn't tell what was real. Friends tried their best to break me free, From the prison I had built. The walls were from a promise made, And the bars came from my guilt. I prayed for my salvation, I prayed till the light grew dark. I struggled with the demons, That burnt and left their mark. 10 years gone I'm free at last, And my days are running out. But I'm still too scared to live my life, So I pour my feelings out. The pain I felt came with a cost, One I can now reveal. I tried to hide how deep I sank, And how I couldn't tell what was real. Friends tried their best to break me free, From the prison I had built. The walls were from a promise made, And the bars came from my guilt.

Lyrics... I'm a man of peace, At war with myself. I tamed the beast, On my knees I knelt. There's some distraction, There's something wrong. I don't need the attention, To carry on. The streets are burning, The World's gone mad. My heart's still yearnin', For what we once had. We cry in frustration, Scream if you need. Black smoke I'm chokin', I need to breath. If we could make a difference, Would anybody care. Some people seem to lose their way, But they're neither here or there. We've forgotten who we are now, We run like rabid dogs. We struggle in misfortune, And we're missing what we lost. We're ordinary people, Living ordinary lives. What the hell brought us to this? We've fallen for the same old lies. Please someone tell me, If I'm only dreaming? Wake me from the nightmare, That we're in. If peace and love and harmony, Is something worth fighting for. Why are we on the verge, Of another civil war? Can anyone make some sense of this? Please help us if you can. Like millions I am lost, And I don't understand. I'm a man of peace, At war with myself. But it's still not as bad, As what we're doing to ourselves.
Good, can i have the lyrics of this song ?
No Problem... I'm a man of peace, At war with myself. I tamed the beast, On my knees I knelt. There's some distraction, There's something wrong. I don't need the attention, To carry on.

Great stuff, I am here in NSW Australia , with this track CRANKED on a samsung valve soundbar, AWESOME !
Nice one mate. 😆
if i can suggest some others from them, with the same mood and quality, i would surely go with Dear Billy, The Rain, Blood from a stone, If Only For a Second and If saying goodbye was so easy.
Being played on top notch hardware... That will do us! Thanks for the great comment!
Romatic song!!

The arrangement and the melody of the background tune is extraordinary, delicious. It could even be the main theme of a romantic movie on its own
Wow, high praise indeed! Thank you so much for your continued support Francesco. It is truly appreciated :)

Sometimes mate you simply amaze me ❤
It is the words that give me the influence to create the songs mate! 😀
After some thought. We decided that we should cut down the original version of the track and remove the first minute which we felt added nothing to the track. We may re-release that as a separate extended version in the future. We appreciate the 658 views it had had.
Very lovely work dear Phil😊
