Ain't Gonna Fight It

from Mutt by The Lost Dogs

    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    For this record, the band decided to take songs - 3 songs each - from each of their regular bands and redo them Lost Dogs style.

    Roe brought The 77s songs "It's So Sad" (from 1983's Ping Pong Over the Abyss) and "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life" (from 1984's The 77s) and his own solo track "Sunshine Down" (from 2001's Say Your Prayers).

    Daugherty brought along the Choir songs, "Like A Cloud" (from 1994's Speckled Bird) and "To Cover You" (from 1987's Wide Eyed Wonder), plus the modern hymn "Beautiful Scandalous Night."

    Taylor brought the Daniel Amos songs "If You Want To" (from 1991's Kalhoun), "Grace Is The Smell of Rain" (from 1993's MotorCycle) and, the first song D.A. ever recorded, "'Aint Gonna Fight It."

    The trio then added one new track to the end of the record, "I'm Setting You Free (But I'm Not Letting You Go)."

    Instead of simply recreating the original performances, each song was given a facelift with different singers taking over the lead vocals. For example, Roe & Daugherty would tackle the D.A songs, and Taylor and Daugherty would sing the 77s tracks. The song that perhaps received the most noticeable rearrangement was the 77's "It's So Sad," which was turned into a rockabilly tune.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Mutt via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

lyrics

(1976 Terry Taylor)

No, I ain't gonna fight it, His Spirit is taking me there
I cannot doubt, that love is in the air
Surrender my will to the One who's calling my name
They tell me once your heart's there
You'll never be the same

I hear music and laughter just outside of my door
This time it's just a little louder than before
I hear Jesus making promises that I must now claim
They tell me once your heart's there
You'll never be the same

Oh, peace has got it's grip on me, it's drawing me on
I know that in a moment I'll be gone
I'm feeling warm within, it's like being born again
Take me Lord
Take me Lord

With my mind on hope, my heart, my soul on faith
I take the step that time cannot erase
Stepping into the sunshine out of the falling rain
They tell me once your heart's there
You'll never be the same

Oh, peace has got it's grip on me, it's drawing me on
I know that in a moment I'll be gone
I'm feeling warm within, it's like being born again
Take me Lord
Take me Lord

Surrender my soul to the One who's calling my name
They tell me once your heart's there
You'll never be the same
I've found that once your heart's there
You'll never be the same
