about
Breakaway is a song reflecting on one's past and how the way forward represents a sharp turn in thinking, attitude, and behavior. Blasting off the top with a funk rock riff, the tone of the song is aggressive but the lyrics represent something more celebratory in nature. It is a good thing to break yourself of old habits and outdated ways of thinking. And in Breakaway, songwriter Logan Lewis proclaims it without hesitation. Showcasing the talents of each member of the band, the song allows moments for the saxophone, congas, drums, and bass guitar to shine while Lewis' lead vocals hold an authoritative stance over the track's mood and substance. As the band's 2nd single release, Breakaway is a fun rocking party with a sincere quality.
lyrics
Oooh, mama, I hurt your soul
Put a copy of my music in your hand and then rolled...in the moving van
You've always run...(as) fast as you can
As a man with perspective, I respect it, but it hurts being damned
All of a sudden I've got something to say
And it's burning words on the page
This liberty has come of age
It's a breakaway
Seems, after time, the right thing to do
Make a promise and the hold you to the letter of the vow...see it through
Change makes its move, we learn how to lose
I got your back but the path you take has many roads...and it’s alone you choose
