Special Note From Mick of The SILVERS About “Back To Basics”

As some of you know, I just returned from a cruise around South America while the rest of the band stayed home. Our first stop was the Galapagos Islands where we hooked up with a great group of people who have now become our friends.

It turns out they wanted to hear The Silvers collection of music, so I started to put together a package of CDs where I found I had no more “Back To Basics”. Long story short, I ordered 150 more to be replicated for a special edition which will be available on Revlis Records..

And while listening to the DDP for approval, I found “That’s The Way” to be a really nice number that is in danger of being overlooked. Dain sings lead and does a great vocal on this one, and the band seems to be in sync. So have a listen!

That’s The Way
(Orton-Kelley)

Listen hard to these directions,
What we all need is a course correction.
Cause that’s the way,
Hear me now, I have a feeling,
That what’s inside you is what’s revealing,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.

You must choose what is your passion,
And don’t you worry ‘bout what’s in fashion,
Cause that’s the way,
Dreams are made there is no question,
And you can reach them, don’t make concessions,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.

Stand aside all of you cynics,
Don’t get in our way.
We have found a better answer,
We know it’s time for change, that’s the way.
Take the time to find joy inside,
It’s easy, all you have to do is try,
Cause that’s the way.

Enjoy all the time life gives you,
So take the chance now, your actions are true,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.

Stand aside all of you cynics,
Don’t get in our way.
We have found a better answer,
We know it’s time for change, that’s the way.

Listen hard to these new lessons,
You can defeat all of their objections,
Cause that’s the way,
Hear me now, I have a feeling,
That what’s inside you is what’s revealing,
Cause there’s a way.
You can change who you want to be,
I have lived long enough to see,
That’s the way that it was meant to be,
Yeah, that’s the way.
