Live at The Linda presents: Justin Friello
September 9, 2021
The Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Center, Albany, NY
When I was planning this show, I knew I had the opportunity to go big. That's evident in the attire, the projections, the set pieces, and it was certainly true of the song choices. I don't often have the opportunity to play this guitar (PRS Mike Mushok Signature Baritone SE Electric Guitar), and it's just as well because I've only written 3? songs on it. However, I couldn't pass up the chance to play "I" (2009) because it was supposed to have been the first encore song from my 2010 solo concert at Proctors Theatre in Schenectady. Problem was that nobody realized that I was going to play an encore, so everyone left after my main set. This, I believe, 11 years later, was the premiere performance of this song (and I put it first in my encore). I love this riff. It's written in alternating bars of 7/8 and 4/4. The chorus is in 6/4. The lyrics are meandering. In fact, I believe I improvised the lyrics when I first recorded the song back in 2009, and those became the official lyrics. Really, the song is an excuse to show off my left-hand skills and my upper vocal register at the end.
LYRICS:
Baby, when I think about you
All I wanna do is get down
On my knees and pray to God of all
To take my soul today
It's all I wanna do
It's all I wanna do
Baby, when I see your face
I've all I can do to wipe the
Tears from my eyes
Lord, let me go today
All I wanna do is get down on my knees
And pray to the good Lord above
Someone else would take my place
Loving you is a dangerous game
Shotgun to my head
Blood rush to my bones
I
I
I
I wake up covered in my blood
Soaked in my own sweat
Choked me from my sleep
Loving you is a dangerous game
And I wanna play again, I wanna play again
I'll shoot the dice for you baby
It's all I wanna do
Baby, when I think about you
It's a lightning bolt from the sky
You shot me, girl
Arrow through my brain
A million pieces
You've got me blown away
I
I
I
