More Than Mistakes is track three of the 2022 Find A Better Way album by The Commoners.
Lyrics
I can’t tell you what you want to hear
I won’t lie to you to ease your fear
Look I don’t wanna hold your hand
Not gonna lead you to the promise land
Find your way, find your way
Your way
Every day above the grave
Is your Day
Alive and free I’d like to be
More than mistakes
If you’re out baby watch your step
One wrong turn you might be out of breath
No you don’t want to lose your hair
Life will push you push you to the edge
Find your way Find your way
Your way
Every day above the grave
Is your Day
Alive and free I’d like to be
More than mistakes
Find your way Find your way
Your way (Yeah)
Every day above the grave
Is your Day (Ooo)
Find your way. Find your way. Your way (Ohh)
Every day above the grave
Is your Day
Alive and free I’d like to be
More than mistakes
Yeah… Oooo..
Discussion
“The rock train rolls on full steam ahead with the punchy and rollicking More Than Mistakes. Bright tambourine accents a rhythm section to rival Motown, illuminating a track that will instantly push listeners to the edge of their seats, raising them to their feet. Alive and free, More Than Mistakes affirms the album’s theme of self-empowerment with gusto.”
-Lauren Campbell | Peter Noble Press Release
“Ramming the theme home, ‘More Than Mistakes’ jives to a Motown beat where Booker T and Steve Cropper are on-loan from Stax, while the slow solo guitar rearrangement of Hendrix’s ‘Third Stone From The Sun’ (Itself apparently a take on the Coronation Street theme) proves something old, new, borrowed and sourced from the blues can be a success story in classic rock.”
–The Midlands Rock
“More Than Mistakes” adds a soul, think Rival Sons before they went mystical and the slide guitar on “Too Much” puts you in mind of that other wonderful discovery of the last few years or so, Robert Jon And The Wreck. Indeed there’s parallels with that band elsewhere too, given the fact they are the hardest working overnight sensations around.”
–Maximum Volume Music
“After a few listens, Find A Better Way hits its stride and sets the band apart with the third track, “More Than Mistakes.” A rock and roll stomp with powerful drums and organ, this number is a standout. You can easily see the band performing this live.”
–Rock and Blues Muse
