about

A very simple but heartfelt and emotional song that I wrote in one long session on February 3, 2014. It's kind of a folk-song in a way, but a modern folk-song, somewhat reminiscent of the type of songs I wrote when I first started turning my poetry into songs. It's about a guy who is surprised and confused when his ex-girlfriend walks into the bar where he is and sits down across from him at a table to talk. It’s different in that it doesn't have a chorus, it's just three verses and a flute solo, which is like a folk-song structure, three verses like “Blowin’ In The Wind.” The title, which repeats five times, is the hook. My daughter, Vanessa, played the flute solo on this. It's a beautiful song and she made it even more beautiful with her perfect flute solo. I'm very proud of her. This is one of my favorite songs. There's a lot of feeling, a lot of emotion in this simple little song. I think people will relate to that. I can't stop listening to it. I play it over and over. I think it's really beautiful. Terry did some really nice harmonic notes on the guitar that add a lot to the song. When I saw Tom Rush in concert recently I thought a song like this would be perfect for an artist like him. I sent him an mp3 to listen to. I hope he likes it. I have to say that I was inspired by two songwriters when I wrote this, actually by the themes of two songs that they wrote that I played when I was on the radio and have loved for years. For a long time I’ve wanted to explore the rather sad themes of two incredible songs, “Goodbye Eyes” by Dave Loggins, and “Hello Like Before” by Bill Withers. “How’d You Find Me Here” is my take on the theme set down by those writers in those two great songs. I had this scenario in my head, like “what are you doing here? I thought you were long gone,” and “I still love you but don’t want to get involved with you again because I’m afraid you’ll break my heart again.” Once again, like John and Paul saying, “let’s write a song like that one,” I used these songs for my inspiration.

lyrics

How'd You Find Me Here?
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2014 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

How'd you find me here?
I thought when we broke up you said you'd disappear,
You wanted nothing more to do with me,
But here you are and I don't know what to do,
I could get up and walk away, but I'm still in love with you...

So what's on your mind?
I hope you're doing well and everything's alright,
I wonder why you want to see me now,
Are you okay, is there something that you need?
I'd still do anything for you, if you'd only smile at me...

How'd you find me here?

-flute solo-

How'd you find me here?
I'm feeling weak all over with you being near,
I hope that you won't lead me on tonight,
I'd stay with you but I'd rather be your friend,
I wouldn't want to start all over, just to watch you leave again...

How'd you find me here....... How'd you find me here…....
