Composing : You Move Backwards by Wyman Brent

Wyman Brent

You Move Backwards

“Sometimes it’s the very last line that makes a song timeless.

In You Move Backwards, I almost didn’t add the closing line: ‘And I am moving backwards.’

But that one simple phrase tied everything together — the love, the loss, the memory — and ended the song exactly where it needed to.

It reminded me that instinct matters. Trust the line that lingers.”

Koby Nguyen

I feel your words very well Wyman, it's very pretty.

Kat Spencer, thank you. I created five different versions of You Move Backwards. The first sounds like it could have been sung by Spandau Ballet. Here is a link to the version done as a ballad with female vocals. Not sure if I already sent it to you. I just woke up. Anyway, here it is.

I created my BandCamp Wayman account. Thank you for introducing me to your music. I subscribed to you and maybe I will post my music on this application too.
