about

Looking Out From Within
Just a jamming song that reflects the panic a musician feels when a song or a performance is going bad. Nice organ solo, cool drum licks and a jazz feel guitar solo at the end of the song.

lyrics

Looking Out From Within
Music and Lyrics: John P. Flynn

Verse 1
Here I start another day
Doing my best to make my way
Working hard, make it tight
Try to make it, best tonight

Verse 2
Unexplained happenings
Distorted sounds feeding in
Things about to fall apart
Just before the music starts

Chorus:
Breakdown Out on a limb
Shutdown Bigger then sin
Looking out from within

Verse 2
Starting off counting four
What’s the key now what’s the chord?
Can’t believe its gone this long
Just to pick the perfect song

Is it only strange to me
confusing lines of harmony
This going way to fast
I’m not sure that I will last

Chorus:
Breakdown Out on a limb
Shutdown Bigger then sin
Looking out from within

Solo:

Verse 3
Here I stand center stage
At a loss, what to play
Struggling just to keep in time
Lost the tempo in my mind

Worried about what they see
Everyone please don’t look at me
I can’t wait for this to end
Shots of tequila with my friends

Chorus:
Breakdown Out on a limb
Shutdown Bigger than sin
Looking out from within (repeat 3 times)

Ending:
Breakdown
Shutdown
