Music to My Ears
Nostalgic Harmony: A Journey Through Time with Mason Caviness
Lyrics
I couldn't wait to play
I eagerly anticipated playing music.
That brand new chord that I'd just learned
I was excited about trying out a recently learned chord.
From a poster on my wall
The chord was learned from a poster on my wall.
I heard it in some Skynyrd song
I first heard the chord in a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
I'd drive around my hometown
I used to drive around my hometown.
Radio up and windows down
Driving with the radio up and windows down.
And that afternoon top ten
Listening to the top ten songs of that afternoon.
Would take me round the block again
The songs would take me around the block again.
Man I miss
I miss those times.
Burning CDs for the hell of it
I used to burn CDs just for the enjoyment of it.
Hearing a new song and remembering every word of it
Enjoying new songs and remembering every word of them.
And the feeling that they were singing it right to me
Feeling a personal connection as if the songs were for me.
There wasn't no bar, I wasn't on stage
I wasn't performing in a bar or on stage.
Just losing my mind at a chord change
Getting lost in the music during a chord change.
And this dream was just a dream
The dream of musical success was just that, a dream.
Cause that was all it had to be
Music was just a dream and nothing more.
Yeah the further I get the more I miss those years
As time passes, I miss those youthful years more.
Back when music was just music to my ears
Reflecting on a time when music was purely enjoyable.
Nowadays I chase a certain
Nowadays, I pursue a specific sound that I desire.
Sound I gotta have
A particular sound that has both smooth and rough elements.
A little smooth a little rough
Seeking a sound that is just different enough.
One that's just different enough
Advice to find a way to do what I love and still get paid.
People say "find a way to do what you love and still get paid"
I am following that advice but keep looking back.
And I guess I'm doing that
Reflecting on burning CDs for enjoyment.
But I keep looking back
Despite current success, I yearn for the past.
To burning CDs for the hell of it
Similar to burning CDs for pleasure.
Hearing a new song and remembering every word of it
Enjoying new songs and recalling every word.
And the feeling that they were singing it right to me
Feeling a personal connection with the music.
There wasn't no bar, I wasn't on stage
Not performing on a stage but losing myself in a chord change.
Just losing my mind at a chord change
The dream of success was just a dream.
And this dream was just a dream
The dream was only meant to be a dream.
Cause that was all it had to be
As time passes, the yearning for those years intensifies.
Yeah the further I get the more I miss those years
Recalling a time when music was pure and enjoyable.
Back when music was just music to my ears
Reflecting on burning CDs and the joy of new music.
Burning CDs for the hell of it
Similar to the enjoyment of burning CDs.
Hearing a brand new song and remembering every word of it
Hearing a brand new song and remembering every word.
And the feeling that they were singing it right to me
Feeling a personal connection with the lyrics.
There wasn't no bar, I wasn't on stage
Not on a stage but getting lost in a chord change.
Just losing my mind at a chord change
The dream of success was just a dream.
And this dream was just a dream
The dream was only meant to be a dream.
Cause that was all it had to be
As time passes, the yearning for those years intensifies.
Yeah the further I get the more I miss those years
Reflecting on the pure enjoyment of music in the past.
But every one of them had a hand in bringing me here
Each moment contributed to my current position.
Back when music was just music to my ears
Looking back to when music was simply enjoyable.
