“See Ya Next Time” by Zach Bailey – A Song Feature

 

     Zach Bailey showcases his refined brand of sophisticated Pop Rock with his latest release, "See Ya Next Time," a heartfelt breakup recovery declaration. The Rock sensibilities are best displayed during the guitar-driven bridge that begins just before the two-minute mark. The sophistication permeates the entire track, with a standout moment occurring around 2:21, when the vocal processing sometimes carries an ethereal beauty reminiscent of monks delivering a Gregorian Chant.
 
     Still, “See Ya Next Time” is best characterized by its energy and the vocal range of Zach Bailey. The song is an Alternative Pop Rock tune about looking towards the future optimistically after a recent breakup. The lyrics, which paint a poetic picture of the relationship, are included at the bottom of this post.
 
     Bailey is originally from Kansas, but he is now based in Los Angeles. The credits of “See Ya Next Time” list Bailey as the songwriter and performer. The lead guitar is from Justin Cohn, while Nathan Pence contributes the bass. Bailey's plan is to continue to write, record, and collaborate with fellow writers, producers, and musicians.

Lyrics of “See Ya Next Time” by Zach Bailey
Darling, the flowers you left me
Aren’t dead yet
I like how they remind me
Of something different
 
‘Cause that’s what you told me
Before we said goodbye
Now I’m done crying
Cause maybe you were right
 
What if you said:
Not now,
Maybe in a year or five
I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life
You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine
I hope it’s not farewell
It’s see you next time
 
I know we weren’t perfect
But gosh darn we tried
To keep the fire going
But what’s burned wouldn’t light
 
Now I’ve been in the darkness
Since you left
I feel a spark yearning
In my chest
 
What if you said:
Not now,
Maybe in a year or five
I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life
You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine
I hope it’s not farewell
It’s see you next time
 
Though this chapter has ended of our love story
Where we ride into the distance separately
I’ll think about you often in golden memories
See you in a year, or twenty…
 
What if we weren’t meant for:
Right now,
Maybe in a year or five
I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life
You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine
I hope it’s not farewell
 
What if you said:
Not now,
Maybe in a year or five
I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life
You’ve got your dreams
And I’ve got mine
I hope it’s not farewell
It’s see you next time
