Name: What's Been On Your Mind?
Duration: P00H04M19S
Description: Another of the band's earliest songs, "On Your Mind" fits neatly into the guitar-driven, catchy refrain anthems of the mid-80s. Its easy-on-the-ears arrangement belies intricate riffs and motifs between the bass and layered guitars, before building into an ending crescendo of guitar harmonies.

lyrics

"What's Been On Your Mind"
Andrew McKnight, ©1984, Catalooch Music BMI

Why try to avoid it, it'll cause you sorrow inside,
don't let it keep you lying in bed awake at night
your senses are illusions, you never feel the same way two times,
so afraid of waking in the dark,

Chorus
Oh, what's been on your mind,
lonely all the time,
Oh, what's been on your mind,
let it all out, hold your head up high

Your slender body's shaking, your little heart is quakin so fast,
you're so afraid to think good love can last,
I see your body quiver, I watch your teardrops fade and fall away,
starin' into darkness, looking for the words to say

Chorus
Solos
Chorus
Outro
