Going somewhere
Going anywhere
Going somewhere
Are you going anywhere
Do you know where you’re going
Do you know
No more hiding
Feeling free again
No more denying
Feeling free again
And you’re breaking all the rules
Yeah you’re breaking all the rules
Feeling free again
Feeling free again
And the birds are singing all day long
The birds are singing all along
They’re feeling free again
Feeling free again
And we’re going on the town
We’re taking it all around
We’re going on the town
Nothing’s gonna bring you down
Gonna bring you down
We’re going on the town
We’re taking it all around
We’re going on the town
Nothing’s gonna bring you down
Gonna bring you down
Going somewhere
We’re going anywhere
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
We’re going anywhere
Are you going anywhere
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
Are you going anywhere
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
about
Tracy Shedd believes creativity is a necessity of life, and our surroundings should inspire us. Since 1999, she has crafted melodic, heartfelt compositions that encourage people to make the most out of every moment. Shedd is an indie rock musician who has released six studio albums with Teen-Beat, New Granada Records, Devil In The Woods, Science Project Records, and Fort Lowell Records, licensed music to Dawson’s Creek, One Tree Hill, The Fosters, and “The Rebound” (ft. Catherine Zeta-Jones), performed at CBGB, The Florida Theatre, plus festivals such as CMJ and SXSW, and has shared the stage with Cyndi Lauper, Cat Power, Iron & Wine, The Magnetic Fields, and David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets); not to mention Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth sat in on drums for her during a US tour.
Shedd originally wrote the song "Going Somewhere" in May 2020 as stay-at-home mandates were being lifted from the onset of COVID and people were going out for the first time. This came shortly after the release of Shedd's initial response to COVID: a nearly-nine-minute song title "Mantra"; an optimistic melody set in motion to make a positive change in our world. June 2020 found Shedd jumping back in the studio to record "Holding Space" for Fort Lowell Records' album GROW: A Compilation in Solidarity with Black Lives Matter (ft. The Love Language, The Rosebuds). This put "Going Somewhere" on the backburner where it continued to stay while Shedd remixed Honeybrandy's song "Not in Our City" that same summer, and where it remained while Shedd delivered "Chasing Time" the following year for another Fort Lowell Records' fundraising project: Luz de Vida II: A Compilation to Benefit Homicide Survivors (ft. Calexico, Dr. Dog, Amos Lee).
Fast forward to 2022, "Going Somewhere", now completed, will be released as a Digital Single on Friday, March 25th; Tracy Shedd's newest single, featuring James Sardone (Brickbat, Loose Jets) on background vocals, which received a World Premiere from Big Takeover Magazine on May 7th.
