“Blank Page” by One Man Dancing – A Song Review

     One Man Dancing was originally one man, namely Agus Samur from Buenos Aires, Argentina.  He is a multi-instrumentalist, which has its advantages. But he has added three members, including his two brothers, Andres Samur (guitar, synth) and Meri Samur (drums). The non-sibling member is Javier Ojeda (bass, synth).  

     The energetic “Blank Page” is one of ten tracks from an upcoming album entitled “Memories of a New Home.” The melody is light, with contrasts with the motivation behind the song. According to the band:
  "’Blank Page’ evokes a feeling of quiet desperation, of wanting something or someone back when it's just too late to start over, and even when you know it's no good to rewind." The song is inspired on the Welsh term 'Hiraeth', a deep sense of nostalgia for a place or a time that may have never existed.”

Lyrics of “Blank Page” by One Man Dancing
Don't tell me that you’re tired
Don't tell me that you've been blue
Cause we were just, we were just starting
How dare you say this wasn't true

You were a light that haunted me
Your indecision brings me down
But I need you now to start all over
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
For all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways,
I swear I'm gonna change them all
To start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
For all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

A warning sign just blinded me
I knew I wasn't going right
Now there's a fire inside me
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
For all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways,
I swear I'm gonna change them all
To start on a blank page

If you take this away from me
It's gonna get too dark to see
So now, I beg you for a chance

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
For all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life
To start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways
I swear I'm gonna change them all
To start on a blank page

We'll get back to the start
