I'm Coming Back as a Dog

I'M COMING BACK AS A DOG
David Mac Kechnie lives in Oregon and I live in Texas. We try to get together at least twice a year and dedicate our time solely to the task of writing. It was David's turn to come to Texas where we would spend a week writing, and then make our long trek to Nashville. We were both very tired and struggling to come up with a good hook that we could agree on. At the peak of our frustrations I looked over on the floor and saw our dog, Shelby. Shelby was not worried about anything. David and I looked at each other at almost the same instant and both said, "I want to be a dog." That is what started us on the journey for "I'm Coming Back As A Dog."

David wanted to make sure that what we wrote was a "work song" and not just a bar song. I wanted to make sure that it was fun. We had the lyrics completed by the time we arrived in Nashville. We were scheduled to have a writing session with Thom Hardwell within the first couple of days of our trip. We thought this song would be right up Thom's alley so we took in the lyrics with an idea of what we wanted to do musically and Thom helped us finish it up. It is one of my personal favorites.

Great Music Video. Of course these guys are far and away above your standard indie group! With three master songwriters on board, they have lots of talent to pull from. Good job and lots of fun. Enjoyed it very much. rg
