Song: If I Could Go Anywhere<\/p>\n
I wrote this song in 2003. On this demo track vocals are by Cherish Whisner, Background vocals by Fred Reliford, Guitar parts by Sean Clavin. The rest of the track I sequenced on ProTools.<\/p>\n
I’d like to pick up the tempo a little more in this song and let the beat slide a little more for a looser feel. I feel it would work equally well as a country or R&B\/hip hop arrangement. For a country arrangement I can definately hear the pedal steel.<\/p>\n
My personal inspiration for the lyrics were my friends at the time in Southern California. At the time I had a job with a very small church and was being approached by a larger church to join them. This song was my statement to the smaller church about what they meant to me. It was a great core group of people. The memory of those people is strong and an inspiration to me. Although my personal religious conviction has changed since then, I value that time with them and what is has brought to me.<\/p>\n

\nI purposely left the lyrics a bit ambiguous so it would appeal to different relationships in different situations. Better to let the listener fill in the details with their personal life to better connect with the piece. It has been performed three times, two times for a church service and once at a wedding. To me it is not simply a love song, it is a statement of conviction between peoples that have endured the long race together.
\nIf-I-Could-Go-Anywhere-Final.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAfter all this time
\nAfter all we’ve been through side by side
\nWe’re still standing strong
\nHolding on to the love deep inside
\nAnd I wouldn’t trade it for the world<\/p>\n
\nIf I could go anywhere
\nAnywhere in the universe
\nAnd if I could have anything
\nThat my heart desired
\nI know where I’d want to be
\nAnd I know what I’d want to have
\nIf I could go anywhere, have anything
\nI’d be here with you<\/p>\n
\nI can cry a tear
\nAnd you’ll always be there holding me tight
\nSo I’ll take a chance
\nAnd wear my heart on my sleeve by letting you know
\nJust a bit of how I really feel<\/p>\n
\nThere may be other places more beautiful than this
\nBut they’re not the same without you by my side
\nThere may be other people who try to catch my eye
\nBut they don’t know anything about what moves me<\/p>\n
\nSo if I could go anywhere, have anything
\nI’d be here with you
\nTag
\nWith you
\nWith you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
