about
"Go There With You" begins with a slow funk and the search for truth. It’s a magical journey through the mundane, reminiscent of "Hotel California" and "Spanish Castle Magic." The darkly melodic chorus transforms into an uplifting finale with a message of brotherhood.
lyrics
Some find it in China
Some say it’s in Spain
But even in Iowa, Maine, or California,
Twice, it’s not the same.
You can’t find the doorbell.
Hell, you can’t find the door.
You walk in through a window
And fall right through the {floor.} (sound effect)
In a spaceship or a hot air balloon,
I’ll take a short-cut or the scenic route,
Anyway I’ll go there with you.
You can wear your flip-flops
You can wear your gilded boots.
But no matter the footwear
They’ll laugh and stare at you.
They got plenty of restaraunts
But they ain’t selling food.
Cause you’ve got to be hungry
Or you won’t be in the mood.
Chorus
Déjà vu goo goo ga choo. You are me and I am you.
I thought you knew the sky was blue, and now in fact it’s turning black.
Solo
If you ask for permission
You will be denied.
The price of admission
Is free… your mind.
So if you’re looking for something
You better run and hide.
Cause coming or going
Looking is all you’ll find.
Chorus

Thanks to Tom Lennon for the great Hammond sounds.
A voice with grit, great production, creative songwriting... They recorded this one a stone's throw from my studio. "Portrait" is my favorite. Aron Van Alstine
