Fast As I Could

The opening track from the 2023 album Deeper Than You Think. This tune started life as a beat made by drumming on my legs, using the floor as a kick drum. This was combined with an early guitar idea which was called Deeley Stan. The two combined ideas were known as Synchro until the album was almost finished. A little bit of working title trivia for you there. Song written, performed and recorded by Jason Allen. FAST AS I COULD Every day We keep our enemies close But our enemies know We can't deny We're only human So we gather our minds Then smash the clocks To stop the time Now over sleeping All deadlines I got here fast as I could I got here fast as I should In the quicksand From the crash land This could be the place Where we find out We're strong enough For the real stuff Yet I'm thinking Can I hack it? Oh no Missed the show Nothing left to say Let it all go this time Nothing I can do Let the world float on by Float on by, float on by, float on by I got here fast as I could On the riverbank With escape plans That could be the judge Of whether I Am good enough? For the real stuff In the end though would you back it? When the doubts say can I hack it? 'Cos there's nothing I am lacking Oh no Missed the show Nothing left to lose On my own I'll survive Nothing left to do Let it all go this time Nothing left to prove Let the world float on by I got here fast as I could Float on by
