about

MUSIC CITY SPIN: “I’m the friend who edits your love letters… Gives advice, holds you when you’re blue… But what you haven’t realized, I hurt inside from jealousy and pain… I wanna be your lover… All I am is your go-between…” — Chuck Whiting, from his song “Go-Between” (A hapless chap does everything he can to win the love of a cute but feisty and troublesome damsel in distress… providing advice on the phone at all hours of the night… driving her to romantic rendezvous… watching as she always picks the other guy. Will he ever win her love? That’s the premise behind my latest single, “Go Between.” I wrote it back in 2003 as a tongue-in-cheek take on teenage romance. Oh, the heartache. The tune begins with a sad, dreamy musical intro, then leaps into upbeat “retropolitan” pop. I have to admit I was influenced by John Lennon, who produced an entire album of tunes dating back to the 1950s. Special thanks to my co-producer, Tim Thompson (a remarkable musician and sound engineer). We were able to create a 1960s retro feel with Beatlesque vocal harmonies, piano, synth, guitar, and percussion. Just a footnote: I wrote this song on guitar (unusual for me). You’ll probably hear a little country in it, too (hey… I’m from the South). It marks a departure from the romantic piano ballads people are used to hearing, and it was a lot of fun to record. Use the link in my bio to listen to the tune on YouTube.) #ChuckWhiting #ChucksDiary #GoBetween #GoBetweenSingle #Single #Pop #Retro #Beatles #JohnLennon #TimThompson #Music #Country #YouTube #Retropolitan #RetroPop #NineteenSixties #Americana #TeenageLove #Love #Boyfriend #Girlfriend #Friend #LostLove #Art #Arts #StrikingMoonMusic #ShineTimeMusic #Nashville #Tennessee #MusicCityArts

GO-BETWEEN

WORDS AND MUSIC BY CHUCK WHITING
(COPYRIGHT 2003 - STRIKING MOON MUSIC)

I'M THE FRIEND WHO EDITS YOUR LOVE LETTERS
GIVES ADVICE... HOLDS YOU WHEN YOU'RE BLUE
BUT WHAT YOU HAVEN'T REALIZED
I HURT INSIDE FROM JEALOUSY AND PAIN
I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER
ALL I AM IS YOUR GO-BETWEEN

YOU CRY
WHEN HE HURTS YOU I'M STANDIN' BY
SO IN LOVE I'M ABOUT TO DIE
I DON'T WANNA BE FRIENDS
BUT I'M YOUR ONE AND ONLY GO-BETWEEN

DATE NIGHTS YOU ASK ME 'BOUT THE WEATHER
CALL ME UP AFTER YOU TWO BEEN TOGETHER
THEN I LIE AWAKE AND ACHE
WISHIN' THAT THE LUCKY GUY WAS ME
I'M BURNIN' FOR YOUR KISSES
ALL I AM IS YOUR GO-BETWEEN

DON'T CRY
CAN'T YOU SEE I'M THE PERFECT GUY?
LET ME TELL YOU THE REASON WHY
MY HEART'S BREAKIN' IN TWO
DON'T YOU SEE I'M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU?

GO-BETWEEN... GO-BETWEEN...

I'M THE GUY WHO RAVES ABOUT YOUR BODY
STAMMERS WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
HYPNOTIZED AND PARALYZED
THE SMELL OF YOU IS DRIVING ME INSANE
I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER
ALL I AM IS YOUR GO-BETWEEN
I'M BURNIN' FOR YOUR KISSES
ALL I AM IS YOUR GO-BETWEEN
I'M YOUR ONE-AND-ONLY...
LONELY
GO-BETWEEN...
GO-BETWEEN...
