A very early recording in regards to Shane O'Brien and O'Briens Edge. In 2001 the band was called Shame,Shame,Shame Blues Band
Early Days of Shane, refers to 1995 thru 2005. These were the discovery years that I recognize as the days of which I learned to put written songs in album form

The Story Behind The Song
The Story Behind The Song is a new feature of the obriensedge.com web site. So far there are 3 installments of unique stories regarding songs: “It’s Safe To Be You”, Chapter 2 _ “That’s The Way” and Chapter 3 _ “The Bluesman“. Chapters are loaded with photos highlighting each story, how the song came about and developed to be what it is today on albums by Shane O’Brien and O’Briens Edge. Some Chapters you may find two recorded versions in the Chapters display of that particular song. 1 version of the song as it was originally being written/recorded and the 2nd rendition may be Shane playing it for that Chapter featured as it's highlight. There may be many folks who read and see this new feature and say to themselves “Hey I took that picture” or “I recorded that track with him” or “I was at that gig“. To those particular friends I say “Don't fret, I don't forget"
Story behind the song
When this song was recorded in early 2001, we weren't too sure about recording formats and qualities etc... But we were sure about loving music and telling stories from our lives or of those around us at the time, who shared experiences of theirs for us to embellished upon. This here song has a story of not letting that special one you're hooked on get away. It's actually almost too late, but with a glimmer of hope and a real special letter, you just might get lucky and it'll do the trick and keep everything on the right track of love.

LOVE NOTE IN A LETTER ©2001
By: Shane “SSS” B. O’Brien
Verse 1:
I’m sittin’ right here now, I’ll send you a letter babe
I’m waitin’ for that postman to come around here
And get him off with your letter now
Verse 2:
Inside I had wrote, a love note for you babe
Sayin’ things about them times we shared with me and you ya
Chorus A:
I hope it gets to you right on time babe
I hope it gets to you right on time
‘Cause I know inside now, the message to you now
You’ll feel the warmth in the letter now. That heat in the letter now
And know that I’m thinkin’ ‘bout you little darlin’ now, ‘bout every day
Bridge 1:
But way down inside now, right between the lines ya
I know that you’ll see that now, and nothin’ else, no
Right down inside the lines, between the lines, the lines I say to you
That you are the one my love. The one for is you now
Verse 3:
I hope it gets to you, that’s my letter to you
Inside I had wrote a love note for you babe
Sayin’ things about the times we shared with me and you now
Inside I had wrote a love note for you babe
Chorus B:
I put a petal from a rose now. A rose, the first one I gave to you
In that letter now. My letter to you babe
A little spot of cologne too, a little dash of whiskey
In the corner, of my letter babe, my letter to you
Verse 4:
I know now, that I can count on you babe
To at least breathe and smell that dash of cologne too
Chorus C:
I’m sittin’ here now, anticipatin’
I’m sittin’ here now, can’t really hardly wait
Waitin’ for you to call babe, all about that little letter
Sittin’ here now, waitin’ for the sun to call. I’m sittin’ here now
Waitin’ for you to call little Momma
About that love letter for you little baby
I’m sittin’ here now, anticipatin’
I’m sittin’ here now, can’t really hardly wait
Waitin’ for you to call baby, all about that little letter now
Bridge 2:
I know from the bottom of my heart
I know from the bottom of my heart
You know it’s true now, you know it’s true. I know it’s true, I love you
And now, from the bottom of my heart. Can you smell that cologne
Can you see that petal, from the rose I gave you
the first rose that I gave you
The very first thing I gave you darlin’
Verse 5:
I hope that it gets to you right on time now
Will that petal be that key to you
The key to you now. Huh huh, in that letter
Love note in a letter babe
Love note in a letter…
