about

City Life is a song I wrote about moving from Melbourne to live in Geelong.
It helped me to get to the final of the songwriters section in the 2013 Telstra Road to Discovery, which was won this year by Melody Pool.
I hope you enjoy this live version with the Telstra Road to Discovery Band.

lyrics

City Life – James Sidebottom

I need a change
‘Coz the City’s got me down
And I’m feeling like I need to get away
To fresh air and more space
A life well lived at a slow pace is what I crave

So I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life

I don’t know how
It’s gonna go?
Coz’ I’m leaving my friends
And the places I know
Now I live by the sea
I let it wash over me and then I know why

I let go of my city life
I let go of my city life
Why I let go of my city life
I let go of my city life

Can’t you see I left my City life behind
The further I get out of town I find
It eases my mind

I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life

Sometimes I’ll return
‘Coz the city and I we shared good times
And the candle still burns.
But at the end of the day
I get out of that place
I breathe a sigh of relief because I know
I’m going home

I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
I’ve let go of my city life
