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
Lyrics
This song was such a great time doing. i recall writing as the tape rolled along and all of a sudden I was kinda matching the tempos with the lyrical bends and twists in their definitions as I was laying it down on tape. I added an electric guitar and a piano to decorate the feel as the moods shift. All in all the track was simply a riot to do and for years to come I know that I will dig it just a much at every listen. Now playing along to it today, well thats a jam sure to keep your rhythm chops in shape, especially simultaneously done with the vocal.
