The Story behind the Song: Them Flashbacks
A freelance journalist from E Z Rider stopped by my Jungle Studio in 2006 to do an interview with Shane O'Brien. After conducting most of his question, he decided to throw out a challenge to Shane by asking him to write and record a song on the spot in front of him. Not only that, it had to be about a subject of his choice and had to specifically include a couple points within this song.

Ah 1, 2, 3, 4
Thinking back baby, what makes a man a man?
Thinking back about the times I had
Sometimes the skies are sunny, the skies are bright
Sun’s shinnin’ warm on me baby, in that night tonight
I had my flashback, couldn’t tie my hair back
I had my flashback baby, it’s a good thing
It’s a good thing little momma now
Oh ya baby, oh ya
And the skies turned dark and the thunders loud
And the lightning shinning bright on the sky at night
And my head goes mean and my eyes glow big and black
And I’m telling you Jack, you better f*** in’ stand back
I got my flashback baby, that’s when the things are bad
A flashback little momma
Good and bad, that’s what I had now, now
Oh ya, my flashback baby
And when I think about it now, every single day baby
I’m thinking back in my life, every single day
I can’t recall, anything so bad
What I’ve been through now little momma
And here we are, I’m so glad
And that’s my flashback babe,
Sometimes I come up, sometimes I’m down
My flashbacks baby
Good or bad, that’s OK, I’m your man
That’s my flashback baby, I’m your man, now, now
Oh ya, I’m your man now, ya there all my flashbacks baby
