SASKATOON Rock 102 FM WINNER: BLACK BOOK VALUE  “My Way”

Black Book Value

BIO

Black Book Value’s sound can be described as melodic rock or alternative rock. They attempt to hit that niche market in between rock and hard rock, and tend to do so successfully. Their mix of a heavy yet intricate sound and a catchy chorus is relieving in today’s cut and dried music scene. Lyrically, the songs make one wonder about the story behind the words, which is the goal of any song. The lyrics tend to make light of real life situations and the emotions behind them, while the chord structures portray strong attitudes and feelings. Simply put, their music is a refreshing change in how music is written and played.

WINNING SONG LYRICS
“My Way”
© 2009 Black Book Value

Break off in new directions,
Not knowing what to find,
I see a chance to take this,
So I will leave behind,
A mile of words can race still,
I have to bear in mind,
To keep myself believing,
You have to know that

I can break you up, and I will break you down
But I won’t lose control, so I can tell you now

Chorus
That today is in my way (my way)
It’s moving too fast and I think it’s already changed
Today is in my way
When it’s finally over I’ll take a life for this pain

To stop a soul from dying,
I’d have to step aside,
Inebriate the feeling,
So I can clear my mind,
Take off the thoughts expected,
They lead with no surprise,
To keep it so deceiving,
You have to know that

I can break you up, and I will break you down
But I won’t lose control, so I can tell you now

Chorus

Come break me down (x2)

I can break you up, and I will break you down
But I won’t lose control, so I can tell you now

Today is in my way (my way)
It’s fallen apart and I hope it’s taken in vain
Today is in my way (my way)
I’ll bend this life that I’ve chosen so I can turn you away

Chorus
