Back On The Streets - By Vinnie Vincent


Is it true did someone else steal her heart?  That burn deep within, from not know brings on a spiritual nausea. If you have ever felt it, you can never forget it.  Before you can accept the truth, maybe you are looking for an answer that you want to hear.  But your gut tells you what you cannot and do not want to believe.  There are many songs about heartbreak, and relationships that have gone well past their decay, why?  Because it happens to all of us.  We can also relate to a song like this.  But "Back On The Streets" is different.  Its not about anger, its not centered around sadness like most songs about break-ups.  This song isn't about "pining for the lost lover to come back",  NO! it's about facing reality and choosing to come out stronger than before.  It's about triumph.  This song was kinda written by chance. The title was based on a comment from a friend of Vinnie's Richard Friedman at Richie's guitar store (WeBuyGuitars).  While Mr Friedman gets writing credit and deservingly so, it's what Vinnie pours into the framework of a heartbreak song with the clear vision that life goes on and at the end of the painful truth is a triumphant rise from the pit of darkness.  "Back On The Streets", can mean many things but its picking up and walking alone but with your head up high - you're NOT GONNA FALL!

The guitar solo at the end of the song gives the triumphant yet bittersweet feeling that pairs with the song very well.  Much like any recovery from a lost relationship, we have our ups and downs, this solo captures that.  This song is in A minor (A Aeolian), so the song starts with A5 in the intro and includes Am, G, Dm, F and Em in the song. 

Someone has taken your love, its true isn't it?
Its not just talk that I hear
And when I see him build his wall around you
I know the end is near
Tell me that I'm wrong
And it's all in my mind
You've known all along
And it just makes my blood run wild
And I'm dying

 So I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back to find somebody new
I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back and I'm over you

 I've lost your love girl
And all that I live for
I see it in your eyes
And when I see you walking out that door girl
Another part of me dies
It's time to move on
And I know it for sure
The feeling is gone
And I won't be hurt anymore
And I'm not going to fall

 So I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back to find somebody new
I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back and I'm over you
So I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back to find somebody new
I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back and I'm over you

Gypsy In Her Eyes - By Vinnie Vincent

Image
The smells that filled the air on an autumn night in the city, the sounds, the stir of the crowds with a story that could be told by everyone that walks by.  But there is this one story that transends the excitement on the city streets on this cool night... Remember that romance that seemed so good?  How could there be anything but everlasting love? A more soulful telling of a story similar to Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" but this story takes place on the East coast and the girl in this story left such a strong impression on hearts she has broken that the tears still melt on the back streets.  For whatever the reason, a restless heart, wanderlust or just old world ways she picked up and disappeared as fast as she arrived.  There aren't too many girls like her and the ones this song is about we can't let go.  Maybe this story is too distant for some, but that pit we feel in our gut that tells us how real this girl is.   There is so much mystery about her. I do

Over You - By Vinnie Vincent

Image
Here it is... An un-released song written by Vinnie Vincent featuring vocals by Görun Edman.  “Lightyears beyond the moon, that’s where you are, If only my destiny could lead me to your star”.  The Song starts the mood with a harmonious vocal, which sounds like Vinnie Vincent and Gorun Edman.  Then after the intro and a pre-chorus you hear the mesmerizing verse and what sounds like a steel slide or (most likely) a pedal steel guitar.  Some experienced musicians would argue “why single notes with a pedal steel guitar?  I cannot answer that, I just know it adds to the effect. The songs use of either a steel slide or a full pedal steel (its hard to say which) as it is used in this song is just the right amount for notes played along with an electric guitar in the same notes in the verses only parallels the feeling if not amplifies it. To my knowledge no one has combined steel slide, electric guitar with pedal steel and no genre uses such a technique with what I consider a harm

Maybe It's the Rain - By Vinnie Vincent

Image
The first few drops,  then a few more, and the drops quickly multiply into an applause of little splashes.  That's the way the notes start out. Then I heard the outpouring of all that's heavy on the clouds.  Or maybe what's heavy on the soul...  Would the rain be different if you were stuck at home on a wet Saturday afternoon with your soulmate?  Rain can bring two lovers together. Rain can separate a lonely soul from all that brought warmth and assurance that everything is going to be fine.  You got through yesterday and maybe tomorrow the sun will be out and you will feel fine,  but now spiritual isolation, while life for the one that got away goes on.  With nothing but time to reflect on those better days,  because right now you only remember the good times.   "It's been some time, since I've looked into your eyes, tell me could they still shine for me one more time?" .   Because you just know " the threads of our love are still there ",  w
