It might not seem that obvious but the STAX Sound is a big inspiration for Hunted and i guess some proof of this is in evidence on this tune.
Otis Redding is one of my favourite singers,and i kind of had him in mind when i wrote this song.
What i love about Otis is that he had such a down home blues feel to everything that he did, and some of of his tunes just ROCK ..
lyrics
1st verse....
Every cloud has got a silver lining, Now if the truth be told
Every road is kinda long and winding, Maybe it's because
Every joker's got a tear to shed, the smile it hides a frown
you can be, oh so lonely, even if you're centre of the crowd
Let me tell you now..............
CHORUS...
Shout it out now, Can't you hear me
Shout it out now, Do what you got to do, Fix that hole in your heart
Say what you wanna Say, Fix that hole right now!
2nd Verse...
Everybody's Got a cross to bear, a promise that they broke
Everybody's Got a secret to trade, something right or wrong
Not trying to be no judge nor jury, that ain't my concern
Just/ need another shot at glory, too many times I've been burnt yeah
2nd CHORUS...
Shout it out now, Can't you hear me
Shout it out now, Do what you got to do, Fix that hole in your heart
Say what you wanna Say, Fix that hole right now!
Mid 8...
Take a long time to get over you, Cried my tears in the rain
Say it now, but can't tell why, Sure don't makes no sense...
SOLO..
Final Chorus...
Say what you got to say, things might change
Do what you got to do, kneel and pray
Say what you want,Fix that hole in your heart
Fix that hole in your heart,make a brand new start
Fix that hole now.......
