WillieC Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I was sitting at an airport a year ago and heard a very simple yet profound song that I really liked. I hate myself for not writing down the lyrics as I probably could have tracked it down that way. The song was very hypnotic and I think that made me too lazy to put the effort to memorize it.I can't really describe the song in full other than it was, I believe, a contemporary song a la Jeff Buckley or so since it was in the Airport's radio. - It was a very simple arrangement with I believe, a repeated back and forth I and IV chord progression. - I think the repeated lyrics were "taking it back..." or "rolling it back". - The guitar sounded like a telecaster with no distortion and probably a little chorus much like a jazz guitar would sound. - Very, very light sound with few instruments. Definitely no wall-of-sound deal. - I think the singing was very light and calming (but not to the point of whispering) though it was definitely not soulful and over the top.I know some of you are great music aficionados. Hopefully one you has heard this song. Others I think would also possibly enjoy discovering this song just as I did. If that was the only opportunity I'll have in life to have heard than song that I'll have to appreciate it for what it's worth but I would like to hear it again.Thanks in advance!If someone can please help me find this song, I'll repay you with 1 million Karma.

WillieC Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I realize there isn't a lot to go on here but I am interested in hearing the song again. I'd describe the song as one that sounds like the "bridge" is the entire song. The chord progression is just an inverse plagal cadence a higher I chord going to a IV chord measure after measure, like a C9 to an F. I could be way off on the chords, that's just how my memory is about it. The lyrics "taking it a back" or something of the sort were repeated throughout the whole song. It sounded like an acoustic song that happened to be played on a light sounding acoustic guitar. It would me easier to describe if the song wasn't so simple and if I wasn't so lazy waiting by the gate at the airport at the time.Any help is greatly appreciated.
