Description
I used to play bass for a singer/songwriter named Stephen Rideout. Amazing guy. He HATED one word titles. This is for him!!! ;-)
This song is about the power of words, and how the smallest thing said can make a huge difference - good or bad. The forst two guitar parts you hear are Jam pack software instrument apple loops. I has to do some midi editing to get the chord progressions right. The drums are also loops. The rest is all me. (acoustic, bass, piano, vocals)
I wrote this one morning in the shower at 6am. It was one of those that came to me just about finished. That doesn't happen often.
Enjoy.

Lyrics
Words
If you could see the expression on your face, would you take those words away?
If you could see the damage words can do, would you say the things you say?
If you could save the world with just one word, would you curse or would you pray?
If you could heal the wounds that words inflict, could you wipe the tears away?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Sticks and stones can break your bones but words can break your heart.
Bones will mend in time but words can leave a deeper scar.
If you could see the expression on your face, would you take those words away?
If you could heal the wounds that words inflict, could you wipe the tears away?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
If you could see the expression on your face, would you take those words away?
If you could see the damage words can do, would you say the things you say?
If you could save the world with just one word, would you curse or would you pray?
If you could heal the wounds that words inflict, could you wipe the tears away?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Sticks and stones can break your bones but words can break your heart.
Bones will mend in time but words can leave a deeper scar.
If you could see the expression on your face, would you take those words away?
If you could heal the wounds that words inflict, could you wipe the tears away?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?
Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?

Moody and somber... a little sad... perfect atmosphere for the subject..
I love how the undercurrent in this song points to the hurt... all the way
to the solo at the end... the melincholy of being the target of
someone... the song really works and the lyric is very good
