about

This is an homage to those classic rock ballads that were a staple at any awkward teenage gathering of merriment, also known as the school dance. Inevitably, there was always a point in one of these epic opuses that the music would speed up, leaving the conjoined promenaders in an position of rhythmic and physical confusion. This was usually the time when the ne'er do wells would begin moshing amongst the romantic couples that were still attached. As we look back when we are older these memories can become more and more astray from the truth, but never let the truth get in the way of a good slow dance.

lyrics

It's been a long time since we made love
I know you're thinking, am I strong enough
I can remember when we first kissed
Cause every time this song plays it's you I miss
Baby let's go back to the days of bliss
The disco ball would spin
I'd pull you in, we're in a trance
Let's go back to another school slow dance

I can remember when they used to play Stairway to Heaven
Those were the days,
You were always dancing with another guy,
I was just hoping, you would catch my eye
Matt and Pat were moshing at the back
Nicole and Kristine getting caught getting drunk
The nerds and the geeks doing D and D deals in the can
I was hoping, Lord I was hoping
That maybe you and me, I'd be your man

The disco ball would spin
I'd pull you in, we're in a trance
Let's go back to another school slow dance

I know going back there seems like a cliche fantasy
It doesn't mean that much to you baby, but it means a lot to me
Put your sequins on and let's get some November Rain
Remember the good times, forget the pain, yeah

The disco ball would spin I'd pull you in we're in a trance
baby let's go back to another school slow dance
