Bottle It Up, Pass It On

from Seven Years by Matt Joe Gow

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Recorded and produced by Matt Joe Gow and Andrew Pollock `Seven Years' takes its title from the chorus lyrics of a song (`Steady Life') from Matt's debut album `The Messenger': ``Seven years are gonna change a man . . . ''.

    Seven years have also changed some songs. Take the track `Down River' -- initially titled `The Messenger' and recorded at Sing Sing Studios with Nash Chambers for Matt's debut. The song evolved via years of touring and has been reborn as a different beast on this record.

    And time alters people, too, of course.

    For example, the third verse on `Georgia Rose' speaks about the death of Matt's grandfather and his memories of him as a child; `Right by You' documents the end of a long-term relationship that had begun in Matt's hometown (Dunedin, New Zealand) and finished in Melbourne; while `Runnin' on Time' is the sound of a band on the road, trying to win over new audiences with some loud rock 'n' roll.

    A diverse set of songs ranging from foot stomping rock 'n roll numbers and heartfelt americana belters through to harmony laden shimmering alt country and spacious ballads, 'Seven Years' contains seven years worth of Matt Joe Gow's finest songwriting and was the beginning of his journey as a producer.

lyrics

Bottle It Up, Pass It On

There is nothing more that I want than to give you my heart but you know it won't take
There is nothing more that I want than to give you myself but you know I wouldn't keep

There's gotta be someone you can walk hand in hand with cos I see you wear it on your sleeve
So Bottle it up and pass it on

There is nothing more that I want than to give you my hand but you know it wouldn't hold
There is nothing more that I want than to give you my touch but you know it's gone cold

There's gotta be someone out there you could love, someone who can give you what you need
So bottle it up and pass it on
I say bottle it up and pass it on

There is nothing more of our love, cos it's broken down, it's in pieces
There is no more that our love could take, when it's gone away you can't chase it
Now don't go thinkin I didnt love you babe cos I loved you with everything that I had
I just went away and I didn't come back
Now don't you think I didn't love you girl cos I swear with every inch there is of me
It broke my heart and I broke yours too
