빌보드 앨범차트 1위 기록! 200만장 판매고를 쾌속돌파한 록계의 새 우상 '도 트 리' 사운드스캔 사상, 가장 빠른 속도로 판매된 록 데뷔작크리스 도트리는 [아메리칸 아이돌: 시즌 5]에서 4위란 다소 아쉬운 성적으로 시즌을 마감하긴 했지만, 그 프로그램을 통해 알게 된 ‘거물들’ 덕분에 본 데뷔앨범의 면면을 화려하게 채울 수 있었다. 일단, 사이먼 코웰에 버금가는 수완가이자 영국의 [팝 아이돌]을 기획했던 사이먼 풀러가 제작자로 나섰고, ‘매직 핸드’ 크리스 로드 앨지가 믹싱을 담당하면서 지금의 환상적인 사운드를 완성할 수 있었던 것이다.거의 전곡의 작사, 작곡에 참여하며 자신의 음악적 재능을 마음껏 발휘한 도트리의 이번 신작은 빌보드 싱글차트에서 4위까지 솟구쳤던 첫 싱글 “IT'S NOT OVER”의 화끈한 기타 리프로 포문을 연다. [아메리칸 아이돌]에 그리 호의적이지 않은 [올 뮤직 가이드]의 편집장 스티븐 토마스 얼와인마저도 찬사를 보냈을 만큼, 크리스 도트리의 넓은 보컬 스펙트럼이 빛을 발하는 곡이다. 그 밖에 본 레코드에서 가장 광채를 발하는 지점으로 꼽을 “WHAT I WANT”는 무엇보다 그 기타 사운드에 있어 다른 곡들과 명확한 차별을 일구고 있는데, 전"前" 건스 앤 로지스의 기타리스트이자 현재는 벨벳 리볼버에서 활동하고 있는 슬래시가 기타를 잡고 오랜만에 순도 높은 내공을 쏟아 붓고 있기 때문이다. 같은 계열의 ‘선배들’"크리드, 니클백 등"의 성공의 원동력이 그 탁월한 멜로디 메이킹에 있었다는 점을 상기할 때 도트리의 미래 역시 밝다고 단언한다. .... ....
I was blown away. What could I say? It all seemed to make sense. You`ve taken away everything, And I can`t deal with that. I try to see the good in life, But good things in life are hard to find. We`ll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? Well, I`ll try to do it right this time around. Let`s start over. I`ll try to do it right this time around. It`s not over. `Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you`re the only one. It`s not over. Taken all I could take, And I cannot wait. We`re wasting too much time Being strong, holding on. Can`t let it bring us down. My life with you means everything, So I won`t give up that easily. I`ll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? `Cause it`s all misunderstood. Well, I`ll try to do it right this time around. Let`s start over. I`ll try to do it right this time around. It`s not over. `Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you`re the only one. It`s not over. We can`t let this get away. Let it out, let it out. Don`t get caught up in yourself. Let it out. Let`s start over. I`ll try to do it right this time around. It`s not over. `Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you`re the only one. It`s not over. Let`s start over. It`s not over, yeah... This love is killing me, But you`re the only one. It`s not over.
You used to talk me like I was the only one around. You used to lean on me... the only other choice was falling down. You used to walk with me like we had nowhere we needed to go,nice and slow, to no place in particular. We used to have this figured out. We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear you were the first star that I'd see We used to have this under control. We never thought... we USED TO KNOW. At least there's you and at least there's me. Can we get this back, can we get this back... To how it used to be. I USED TO reach for you when I got lost along the way. I USED TO listen you always had the just right thing to say. I USED TO follow you, never really cared where we would go, fast or slow to anywhere at all. We used to have this figured out. We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear you were the first star that I'd see. We used to have this under control. We never thought... we USED TO KNOW. At least there's you and at least there's me. Can we get this back, can we get this back... To how it used to be. I look around me and I want you to be there. 'Cause I miss the things that we shared. Look around you - it's empty and you're sad. 'Cause you miss the love that we had. You used to talk to me like I was the only one around... the only one around... We used to have this figured out. We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear you were the first star that I'd see. We used to have this under control. We never thought... we USED TO KNOW. At least there's you and at least there's me. Can we get this back, can we get this back... To how it used to be. To how it used to be. To how it used to be. To how it used to be. To how it used to be.
I'm staring out into the night Trying to hide the pain I'm going to the place where love And feeling good don't ever cost a thing And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain I'm going HOME Back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from no I think you've got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going HOME
I'm going HOME
The miles are getting longer it seems The closer I get to you I've not always been the best man or friend for you But your love remains true and I don't know why You always seem to give me another try I'm going HOME Back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from no I think you've got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old Be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it all You just might get it all and then some you don't want Be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it all You just might get it all
I'm going HOME Back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from no I think you've got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old These places and these faces are getting old So I'm going HOME I'm going HOME
Now than it's all said and done I can't believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down Like an old abandoned house What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath I fell too far was in way too deep Guess I let you get the best of me Well I never saw it coming I should've started running a long long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls Dragged the memories down the hall Packed your bags and walked away There was nothing I could say And when you slammed the front door shut a lot of others opened up so did my eyes so I could see that you never were the best for me Well I never saw it coming I should've started running a long long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you
Well I never saw it coming I should've started running a long long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you more than you know Well I never saw it coming I should've started running a long long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Well I'm putting my heart back together Cause I got over you I got over you I got over you Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you

You, you got me Thinking it'll be alright. You, you told me, "Come and take a look inside." You believed me, In every single lie. But I, I failed you this time. And it feels like tonight. I can't believe I'm broken inside. Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, Tonight. I was waiting For the day you'd come around. I was chasing, And nothing was all I found. From the moment you came into my life, You showed me what's right. And it feels like tonight. I can't believe I'm broken inside. Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight. I never felt like this before. Just when I leave, I'm back for more. Nothing else here seems to matter. In these ever-changing days, You're the one thing that remains. I could stay like this forever. And it feels like tonight. I can't believe I'm broken inside. Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight. Tonight. Tonight. 'Cause there's nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you. And it feels like tonight.
It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did, But never did a thing about it 'til I let you in. It's kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart. You came and put me back together, now. 'Cause what I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering. As days go by, I've finally become what you want me to be. I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done, But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!" Givin' me a name, I found myself inside all the flames. Becoming everything for you again. It's What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering. As days go by, I've finally become what you want me to be. Don't tell me you saw it all along. God help me, I never knew it alone. Guess I was wrong. What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering. As days go by, I've finally become what you want me to be. And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering. You've taken me, And shaped me to become what you want me to be.

Daughtry - Gone Feeling like this could only mean I'm sinking. Feeling like this could only mean I'm sinking. Well, I'm sinking. Pull me up. Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are. You are. Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide. The day you turned on me is the day I died, And I've forgotten what it's like, And how it feels to be alive. Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Reach up to the sky. When nothing seems to go right, When nothing seems to go right for me. Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor. I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Everytime I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You never would be gone. I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are.
Daughtry - There And Back Again Take, take your time. Smell the roses, but steal the vines. Don't wait for the hands of time To second guess and change your mind. And shine. Here's your moment to shine. Shine. Lay down, my friend. Close your eyes, breathe in, And I'll take you there and back again. No more questions why. I'm not so surprised Why you have been there and back again. Replace, replace that line That spoke to you And showed no signs to be alive. So are you livin' or dead? You have made a choice to hear your voice Or hold on to what they said. Now, shine. Here's your moment to shine. Shine. Lay down, my friend. Close your eyes, breathe in, And I'll take you there and back again. No more questions why. I'm not so surprised Why you have been there and back again. Back again, back again. Back again, back again. Lay down, my friend. Close your eyes, breathe in, And I'll take you there and back again. No more questions why. I'm not so surprised Why you have been there and back again.

Doesn't come down when she calls. It's time for breakfast. Momma can't get down those halls fast enough to see Glass is sprayed across the floor from the broken window. She can't breath anymore. Can't deny what we know. They're gonna find you, just believe. You're not a person; you're a disease. All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don't you know it's violation? It's so wrong, but you'll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, But you ain't comin' in. You ain't comin' in. Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces. Months go by without the cause, The clues, or traces. They're gonna find you, just believe. You're not a person; you're a disease. All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don't you know it's violation? It's so wrong, but you'll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, But you ain't comin' in. Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold. Doesn't come down when she calls, "It's time for breakfast." The memories begin to fall. She asks, "When will I be free?" All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don't you know it's violation? It's so wrong, but you'll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, But you ain't comin' in. All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you've been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, But you ain't comin' in.
Shadows fill an empty heart As love is fading From all the things that we are But are not saying Can we see beyond the scars And make it to the dawn Change the colors of the sky And open up to The ways you made me feel alive The ways I loved you For all the things that never died To make it through the night Love will find you What about now What about today What if you're making me all that I was meant to be What if our love never went away What if it's lost behind words we could never find Baby before it's too late What about now
The sun is breaking in your eyes To start a new day This broken heart can still survive With a touch of your grace Shadows fade into the light I am by your side Where love will find you What about now What about today What if you're making me all that I was meant to be What if our love it never went away What if it's lost behind words we could never find Baby before it's too late What about now Now that we're here Now that we've come this far Just hold on There is nothing to fear For I am right beside you For all my life I am yours What about now What about today What if you're making me all that I was meant to be What if our love never went away What if it's lost behind words we could never find What about now What about today What if you're making me all that I was meant to be What if our love never went away What if it's lost behind words we could never find Baby before it's too late Baby before it's too late Baby before it's too late What about now
