Hey There!
So carrying on from already hearing three of Shinedown's demo songs from Us And Them Deluxe, Carried Away - Demo was the last one that I listened to. It was towards the end of the weekend after my crazy exam week, and I was still doing more revision for all of the exams that I had not yet sat. Therefore, I obviously wanted to listen to Carried Away in more detail, after having listened to it many times during my revision sessions!
From looking behind the meaning of Carried Away, it seems that someone has been broken, and feel really down, like there is nothing for them. So the writer behind the song is telling them that it really isn't their fault, and that they shouldn't blame themselves. Then further on, they are then warning them that they always take things too far, and should try not to carry on doing this on the future.
The introduction of Carried Away, where there is a constant strum on the guitar, always reminds me of part of a clip from the TV show called The Apprentice. I used to be obsessed with that show, and the background music during the most tense scenes was a similar strumming of the guitar to this one. It is such an intense introduction, but a brilliant one in that matter!
It goes without saying that the bridge to this song is my favourite part by far. There is just so much power and emphasis behind it, and it always makes me feel so more more alive inside. Especially since there is such a build up to the incredible chorus following!
Surprisingly, for once, I have been successful in finding some chords for an obscure Shinedown song, and best of all, they seem pretty do-able! The chords mainly consist of Em and Am, which are officially my favourite two chords ever!
Thank you very much to you all who have read my blog post for this week, and I do hope that you've enjoyed what you've read so far!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Carried Away - Demo below incase you're interested!
Something's wrong with you I see
Your eyes have turned a shade of empty
In my arms you pushed aside
Wondered if you'd ever be
Alright again and try to fix
Whats goin on inside of you
There's no reason to be afraid
You can't blame yourself
For the world's mistakes
Now it's time to let it go
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
Even now you hide behind
Those imitations in your mind
Through every act
From the middle to the end
You have played the part as your only friend
You steal the rush
From the hands of time
And they'll never to catch up with you
There's no reason to be afraid
You can't blame youself
For the world's mistakes
Now it's time to let it go
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
You need to find out whats for real
And know how I wish you would understand
And listen
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's time and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
Your eyes have turned a shade of empty
In my arms you pushed aside
Wondered if you'd ever be
Alright again and try to fix
Whats goin on inside of you
There's no reason to be afraid
You can't blame yourself
For the world's mistakes
Now it's time to let it go
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
Even now you hide behind
Those imitations in your mind
Through every act
From the middle to the end
You have played the part as your only friend
You steal the rush
From the hands of time
And they'll never to catch up with you
There's no reason to be afraid
You can't blame youself
For the world's mistakes
Now it's time to let it go
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
You need to find out whats for real
And know how I wish you would understand
And listen
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's times and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
Look out, look in and realise
You always get so carried away
There's time and things you can never change
Don't get so carried away
