Simone - Built To Last - All My Mistakes
1 Comment Share
A song for everyone. This pretty well sums it all up. We all make mistakes but it's better if we just admit them and move on.

Artist picture
Singer, songwriter, punk rock girl. Ruler of all I survey.
Touring up to 75,000 miles per year, Simone performs an average of 270 shows annually (2007-2016). Independently financed and self-managed, Simone has achieved more than most indie-bands would hope for. National media attention, endorsements from international organizations and regular airplay are just of the few accomplishments this young artist has experienced. 'Strong riffs, hooks and melodies make Simone a highly-listenable band' (Miramar Management), but it is the energy of the live performances that Simone is best known. Sharing the stage with bands such as LA Guns, Bullet Boys, Dishwalla, JR Richards, The Sammus Theory, At Cliffs End, Stranded and many others, Simone exceeds expectations. Known for their live performances -- "[Simone's] got the look, got the voice, got the songs" (Steve Gilmore, Rebel Riffs), Simone tours throughout the US and Europe. Their music has charted on GarageBand, StereoFame, OurStage, NoiseHead and Imeem, and their independent release "Temporary Heaven" was awarded the E.A.R. (Excellence In Audio Recording) award in 2007.

Story behind the song
Never intended to be a 'sad/couple skate' kind of song - All My Mistakes was born entirely from a lyrical idea. Bryan and I were writing, just coming up with ideas, when he stumbled on this lyrical concept: write an entire song in reverse. Probably been done before - chime in if you can give a reference - but unique to us. If you look through the verses, you'll notice that you could reverse each line. Not word-for-word, but phrase-for-phrase. This concept made for a sad song on the front end but changes context a bit when you turn it around: For what I did today there's no going back, But there's nothing to say, there's no going back. I've sealed our fate. What's done is done. Now it's too late, cause I was wrong.
Lyrics
Cause I was wrong, now it's too late What's done is done, I've sealed our fate There's no going back, but there's nothing to say There's no going back, for what I did today I realize all the things that were spoken I sympathize with all the things that I'd broken You judge me only on my character flaws and now If I could go back, I'd leave here today All my mistakes, all my mistakes I may be sorry, only if you knew My day turned to night, when I left you There are no more tears, there's nothing left to say You were lying there, I awaken today If I could go back, I'd leave here today All my mistakes, all my mistakes If I could go back, I'd leave here today All my mistakes, all my mistakes If I could make you see, I could set you free from all my mistakes If I could go back, I'd leave here today All my mistakes, all my mistakes If I could make you see, I could set you free but now I'm awake
