Story Behind The Song

This song was one of the first songs I wrote and sang on back in 1990. It started off as a very progressive song with heavy Rush influences when it was first conceived. After years of playing and performing the song, it took on an entire new feel with this acoustic version. In the studio, we were able to experiment with a Middle Eastern flair including tablas and various string instruments. It took on an entire new feel. The original song recorded in 1991 (with terrible vocals) is on this site - one of the first songs I uploaded in my 20+ years on Broadjam. Enjoy!

Take Me There

Take me there

[Verse 1]
In a far and distant memory
Lies a thought from years ago
I sit back and think to myself
Of this place I used to go
Serenity would follow me
To the depths within my mind
To get back to this better place
I've got to try and find

[Chorus]
Take me there
Where my thoughts can run free
Take me there
To a place that could never be
I know where
It's deep within my head
If you dare
Journey along with me

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I hear laughter
It echoes loud and clear
Safety and serenity
I know I have them here
I never have to worry
Cause I'm kept here safe and sound
I wish I could get lost here
And never be found

[Chorus]
Take me there
Where my thoughts can run free
Take me there
To a place that could never be
I know where
It's deep within my head
If you dare
Journey along with me

[solo]
(ooooo)

[Chorus]
Take me there
Where my thoughts can run free
Take me there
To a place that could never be
I know where
It's deep within my head
If you dare
Journey along with me

[outro]
(take me there) Journey along with me
(ahhhh)
(take me there) Journey along with me
(ooooo)
(take me there) Journey along with me
