NEW Favourite Secular Song

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

That’s right, I’ve officially declared a BRAND NEW “Favourite Secular Song”. This song is currently replacing “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter.

So without any further ado… the winner isssssssssss………………….

“SAVE MY LIFE” BY: REX GOUDIE

That’s right I said it. Rex has a brand new song which is set to be released on his new album in December, and the song is called “Save my Life”. I’ve heard it a few times now, and folks, WOW.

The reason I like this song, is because it speaks out about something that I really can’t stand: EVERYONE GOIN TO ALBERTA!! Rex co-wrote the song and it’s written from the would-be perspective of a Newfie in Alberta who wants one thing: to go home.

Man, this is right up my alley. I love it! It says what everyone who thinks like me and Rex wants to say! Rex Goudie: voice of the common Newfie.

Unfortunately, legal issues prevent me from posting the audio or video of the song. But I do want to share the lyrics with you, with the disclaimer that these could change before the CD comes out. Rex wants it to be known that this is a work in progress. But here are the lyrics, as good as I can figure out:

Save My Life
Rex Goudie

Why don’t we go
Back to the home we left behind
Baby I miss the way it used to be
This room’s getting covered in dust
And I don’t seem to mind
I’m tired and I just don’t wanna clean

But at least I’m tryin
To make it better for you and me

Cause Everybody here is workin overtime
Wheels keep turning, keep pushin the line
The pressure’s on me
To Save my Life
I’m goin back to where the waters meet the rocky shore
I’m man enough to say I can’t take anymore
I can’t wait to leave
To Save my Life

(Everyday) I see
(faceless) strangers passin me by
They smile but they just don’t say a thing
Where I come from
People wave without even havin to try
Let’s just wait and see what tomorrow brings

But at least I’m tryin
To make it better for you and me

Cause Everybody here is workin overtime
Wheels keep turning, keep pushin the line
The pressure’s on me
To Save my Life
I’m goin back to where the waters meet the rocky shore
I’m man enough to say I can’t take anymore
I can’t wait to leave
To Save my Life

Working 16 hours, seven days a week
Just (burnin) my soul
To keep food on the table
And shoes on the feet
I can’t wait to go home

Keep Lookin Up
