I have first heard of Tanner Patrick when a friend of mine posted his cover of Christina Perri's A Thousand Years video on my Facebook wall. From then on I was hooked to his almost monthly productions of covers from varying artists and genres. And now, he is giving us his first original single Merry Go Round together with a music video, which he has been busy working on for the past months.
The first time I saw the video, which was released just recently, I really thought the song was about me. I couldn't shake the thought of the monotonous feeling in my job and my life. That's why I have to take a few steps back and find something to make my ordinary life become extraordinary.
From time to time, I imagined I was the guy in the video that is busily doing his job. I have the same knack of taking deep breaths and sighing to release my frustrations. I know I could be somewhere better other than doing my daily share of boredom. Maybe I could take a break and ride the figuratively-speaking merry go round of life, break the tides of the ordinary and see the goodness life can bring.
Now check out his music video for his single, Merry Go Round:
I kept on hitting the replay button for a couple of times now. I could really relate with the premise of the video casue its rooted to what's really happening in the lives of today's generation. Now if you are not satisfied with simply watching the video, you could sing along with the music through the help of this lyrics:
Tanner Patrick - Merry Go Round Lyrics
I was always taught
To stay inside the lines
But sooner or later
Ill be a trader
To the warning signs
I was always told
That Id never be
Anything other
Than what I am now
Look at me now
Chorus:
Im escaping to the sun
Sun, sun
Spinning like a merry go-round
Round, round
I dont ever want to
Slow down, down
I trust this ride tonight
X 2
Tonight, yeah
Everybody said
To have a back up plan
Thats an illusion
Its my decision
To build it by hands
You can always found me
On the other side of the line
Loosing my, loosing my mind
Thats where I wanna be
Chorus
I like what you do to me
Without you Im incomplete
You always got me started
When Im escaping to the sun
Sun, sun
Spinning like a merry go-round
Round, round
Dont follow the line
We can break the tides
Well erase the night
And paint the sky
Im escaping to the sun
Sun, sun
Spinning like a merry go-round
Round, round
I dont ever want to
Slow down, down
I trust this ride tonight
Chorus
I like what you do to me
Without you Im incomplete
You always got me started
When Im escaping to the sun
Sun, sun
Spinning like a merry go-round
Round, round
We can break the tides
Well erase the night
And paint the sky
