Escrita por Carole King e Gerry Goffin, foi gravada inicialmente por
Dusty Springfield e lançada em 1966. A nossa versão no entanto é
dos Byrds, gravada em outubro de 1967 e lançada no mesmo mês, dia
20, em um compacto que tinha Change is now como Lado B.
A versão dos Byrds chegou ao número 89 dos charts pop americanos.
David Crosby se apôs a gravação de Goin' Back. No final das
contas, ele foi demitido e a canção ficou.
Além de Springfield e dos Byrds, foi também regravada por Marianne
Faithfull, Nils Lofgren, Freddie Mercury, The Pretenders, Diana Ross,
Phil Collins, Bob Jovi, Carole King e muitos outros.
A letra:
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truth
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no
games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books,
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
To only pass the time
No more coloring books,
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a
time,
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lift
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lift
Now there's more to
do
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my life instead of counting my years
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my life instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the
true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back
I can recall,
I can remember
I can remember
I can recall,
I can remember
I can remember
I can recall,
I can remember
I can remember
