Story Behind The Song

Ha, many break-ups. Also, all the stuff that has happened in my lifetime that doesn't make sense. War, tragedy etc. Taking time to mend a broken heart. Trying to fill a void.

Song Description

Low Down starts out as a contemplative bluesy song that turns into an up-tempo gospel driven testimony and ends up as a pleading, yearning torch song.

Lyrics

I've been down, so way low down
I can't get any lower, unless I go underground
I've been searching for something
I've been try to find
That missing piece of the puzzle
For some peace of mind

I used to look for love
But now I've changed my plans
Can't place all of my happiness
In the hands of one man
Gotta find my own way
Gotta find my own bliss
Gotta find my own bliss
Gotta find my own way
From this restlessness

So give me some understanding
So I can get through this pain
Give me some hope
So I can Hope again
I don't need no lover baby
Just need a friend
Just need some time
For this heart to mend

Well I've been all over
This great big world
I've danced with the devil
I've prayed to the Lord
I have seen trouble baby
I have seen war
This fragile heart
Can take no more

So give me some understanding
So I can get through this pain
Give me some hope
So I can hope again
Don't need no love baby
Just need a friend
Just need some time
For this heart to mend

You give me so much grief
You give me such a hard time
But please go easy on me
'Cause I've paid for my crimes
I've done all I can do
To make up for my sins
And every blow I've dealt you
Has been in self-defense

So give me some understanding
So I can get through this pain
Give me some hope
So I can hope again
Don't need no love baby
Just need a friend
Just need some time
For this heart to mend
