Liner Notes
I was trying to get a hybrid of an electronic and rock track as the arrangement for this song. I wanted to cut up the bass guitar on the verse so it was like a big beat record going into a powerful bridge. I wrote this when I was disillusioned with living in the city and wanted to get away from it all. The lyrics are pretty self explanatory. | ||

Lyrics
Wanted So Much
I've lived by mountains, I've looked at trees, I took it for granted, No concern to me, When you stepped on your mother just to get at me, Must get out of this city, Has it dawned on me?
All desire zapped away from me, Mother nature show me a calmer place, All ambition was destroying my soul because
I wanted so much I lost it all. I wanted too much and I lost it all. I wanted so much I lost it all, Because moving a mountain only caused me to fall. I wanted so much I lost it all.
Mother nature come to me, I had a vision of the colour green, I moved from the city and I tended the land, Got out of this rat race and realised
All desire zapped away from me, Mother nature show me a calmer place, All ambition was destroying any soul because
I wanted so much I lost it all, I wanted too much and I lost it all, I wanted so much I lost it all, Because moving a mountain only caused me to fall. I wanted so much I lost it all.
And I want to live in the country and I want a view out to sea. Mother nature show me a calmer place, I need this city like a whole in the head because
I wanted so much I lost it all. I wanted too much and I lost it all. I wanted so much I lost it all, Cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall. I wanted so much I lost it all, Cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall. I wanted so much I lost it all.
