Shanda's new song is remarkable different than her first song, Gimme A Pocket Rocket. That song was an adults only pop song. This new one What's Wrong? shows a songwriter going through some growing pains not only in her music, but her life. She sings with a group of musicians that give her an accompaniment that has an underlying current of tension. We just got the file of the music, and we like it!
I was sitting all by myself, listening to the band
When a man I didn't know tried to take my hand
All he wanted to do was dance, I pulled my hand away
And my mind started to drift, and my mind began to stray
Is this it? Is this really it?
Work all the week then try to seek
Someone special for me
What else is there? What else?
To set my heart free
Time was, this was enough, plenty for me and all
Liked what I did for a living,walked straight, long and tall
But now, why do I feel different? Thought my life already had begun
Go to work, do my job, go home, go out Saturday and have fun
Am I missing something? What's missing?
It's not that I'm sad, not mad or glad
I guess I'm bored with it all
Am I just in a rut?
I'm sure feeling small
Some are telling me that I act too much aloof
That I'll never find a love, what do I want to prove
But it isn't that, I've had lovers. It's only a physical thing
Sooner or later, they leave me, alone to sigh and sing
What's wrong? What am I doing wrong?
What's coming next? Feels like I'm hexed
It isn't just the sex
Am I just naive
Who's in my life next?
I've thought it over a lot, decided I don't really know
Who I am, what I want, what I need, no wonder I feel so low
So it's time to work on myself, and discover what makes me tick
I have to know about myself, before love for me will stick
I'll find some answers, real answers
Take it real slow, go with the flow
Hopefully get command
So when someone wants to dance
I'll let them take my hand
