Liner notes

There are so many songs about break-ups and love gone wrong. Sometimes I want to reach out and grab the protagonist by the throat! This song attempts to bring to light that we are not helpless in these situations. What's more, that (dare I say it) men have a unique role in our relationships.

Let me add that this is NOT a completed track. It doesn't even have all the intended instruments.
However, we are nearing the end of recording project and a final mix should be available by the summer, 2019.

About the artist

“Faith is an important component of our music; but really our music is about how we meet life through our faith.”

That’s the synopsis from Ron Lawrence, one of the composers for the Jericho Road Crew. There is a lot of great music out there, and contemporary Christian music is one of the fastest growing genres in music today. Much of that music rightly praises God and glorifies His Son, Jesus Christ. For the Jericho Road Crew, however, something more is needed to reach a world that seems to be looking the other way.

Since 1988, the Jericho Road Crew has offered a variety of music from different genres: from gospel to celtic, country to rock and roll. The music is always full of fun, harmonies and hope, lyrics and love. Our album, "Moonlight Harvest", is our first offering with all original music. The Road Crew has always played a mix of secular and Christian music— feeling like that opens more doors to our message. More and more, our music reflects this mix of God and world within each song.

Lyrics

Your better half is missing, and you’re
drinkin’ here alone.
Askin’ anyone who’ll lend an ear, “How
did our love go wrong?”
You say that you’ve tried everything, but it’s
never good enough.
Now you’re my friend. I know you well. So,
let me call your bluff.

Chorus:
Turn it around
Stop cryin’ in your beer
Turn it around
Don’t let that pride of yours interfere
Turn it around
Let’s keep your vision clear
Before your life completely comes unwound
Turn it around.

Instead of anger, have you tried a
little tenderness?
Remember how she stole your heart be-
fore that first caress?
Remind her now that she is still the
woman of your dreams.
And, man up boy! What God has joined, let no one come between.

(chorus)

Bridge:
The situation’s not ideal
but love’s a choice, not what we feel
But invested right, then your returns
compound.
So, turn it around…(chorus)

Chorus (final):
Turn it around
Stop cryin’ in your beer
Turn it around
Don’t let that pride of yours interfere
Turn it around
While we’re at it, let’s be clear
It’s up to you to make this union sound

So, turn it around.
