about
Lobelia wrote this song around age 20, and it's had many a revival, but this version recorded on the fly with the amazing Peter Katz lending his gorgeous voice is so stark and beautiful and really captures the spirit of the song. A bit sad, a bit defiant, a bit hopeful. Gorgeous acoustic bass by Steve Lawson who also recorded, mixed and mastered the track.

lyrics
What is it that just keeps me hanging?
I stay and stay, I'll do anything.
Hell no, I won't go and you can't make me.
Hell no, I won't go and you can't make me.
What do you need?
Cause it's not me
Yet here I sit
I'm never happy
Hell no, I won't go and you can't make me.
Somebody take my heart
It's tearing me apart
It stops and it won't start
Somebody take my heart
Hell no, I won't go and you can't make me.
