Comments: | "Hidin' From Love" is a simple song with
a dry, uninspired production that would have benefited greatly
had producer Bob Clearmountain been involved ... but Bryan wouldn't
make contact with Bob for another year or two. We wrote the song in February 1979 in a temporary "studio" I'd set up in the living room of my rented home at 12th and Carnarvon in Vancouver. It had rained heavily the night before and my basement studio was ankle deep in water! The song was inspired by a combination of styles and influences, mostly The Cars and Toto. The Cars first album in particular had a major influence on our early writing. The recording was started at Pinewood Studios in Vancouver (with Geoff Turner engineering) and was completed at Manta Studios in Toronto (with Hayward Parrott engineering). |

Lyrics: | I'm riding
in the middle - halfway into you And halfway into something else I don't know what to do You said you'd make it easy You said you'd take the time but you called it off before I changed my mind You're not decided you're only hidin' from love You can't deny it - you're only hidin from love Well I've been makin' changes - but you've been changin' too You were hopin' love was somethin' else I was hopin' it was you You said you make it easy babe - you said you'd take the time But you called it off before I changed my mind - Ooo You're not decided you're only hidin' from love You can't deny it - you're only hidin from love I know you tried but you're only hidin from love You say you're shy but you're only hidin from love Solo Ah - You're not decided you're only hidin' from love You can't deny it - you're only hidin from love Ya - I know you tried but you're only hidin from love You say you're shy but you're only hidin from love - oo ya You're not decided you're only hidin' from love You can't deny it - you're only hidin from love - ya |
