Music

Recorded at the Shack with Big Gibba's Band


That Takes Me Back

I was driving home

It was late one evening

I was kind of low

With that sinking feeling

That I sometimes have

When it's all going wrong


When a sad old song

That I used to know

Came out and poured over me

From the radio

As if I didn't feel quite bad enough


And I remembered the times

That I used to have

And it seemed so long

Since I felt like that

And I thought out loud

That takes me back

 

So I drove my car

Without really thinking

To the nearest bar

And I started drinking

Like I sometimes do

When it's all going wrong



And the night went on

And the room was swaying

And I heard that song

On the jukebox playing

As if I didn't feel quite sad enough

 

And I remembered the times

That I used to have

And it seemed so long

Since I felt like that

And I thought out loud

That takes me back



So I came on home

When my conscience told me

I was on my own

I was feeling lonely

Like I always do

When it's all going wrong

 

But I just couldn't sleep

Laying in my bed

With that sad old song keep

Going round in my head

As if I didn't feel quite mad enough

 


Big Gibba's Band

Big Jim Gibson and his family are a group of musicians who are resident at the Shack. Their workload is incredible. The place never seems to close. People travel far and wide to be there and the music and dancing goes on all day and night and into the early hours. Gibba's extended family take it in shifts to entertain their audience with a huge repertoire of music that defies belief. From country classics to avant garde rock. There are also many guest artistes who drop by and perform just to be part of this amazing experience.
