Joel recently discovered this version of Otherwise from the early sessions from the recording process in 2013. The completed version is on our fourth album, "Lucky." We love this because of the light it shines on the vocal harmonies (Chris, Don and Joel) and Chris' lead vocal performance. Enjoy!
Lyrics
"Otherwise"
Now
It's such a long way down
Can anyone see the ground?
It seems so far away
The world
Keeps turning a pirouette
And casting a silhouette
It’s what we call ‘today’
And how the dance began no one can say
Only questions and surprises
All the answers in disguise
And love is all that ties us down
Otherwise we'd fly away
Otherwise we’d fly away
We
We make it up as we go
We try to pretend we know
And call it 'destiny'
Lies
Secrets and alibis
Just some of the reasons why
We fall down on our knees
Whispers spreading rumors in the breeze
Only questions and surprises
All the answers in disguise
And love is all that ties us down
Otherwise we'd fly away
Otherwise we’d fly away
And how it ends, no one can say
No one knows just where it’s going
Time The Hurricane keeps blowing
And love is what holds us to the ground
Otherwise we'd fly away
Otherwise we'd fly away
