“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
