Subject: Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder

Last night I had the strangest dream.
I sailed away to China in a little rowboat to find you
And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Didn't want no one to hold you. What does that mean?
And you said:
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no.
I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh, no.
I've got to keep on moving.
You're on the road and now you're plain at last (?)
The road behind was rocky, but now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past.
Is that the reason why you're running so fast?
And she said:
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no.
I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh, no.
I've got to keep on moving
(Never let another girl like you) work me over.
(Never let another girl like you) drag me under
(If I meet another girl like you) I will tell her.
(Never want another girl like you) Have to say, oh
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no
I've got to keep on moving, ain't nothing gonna break my stride.
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh, no.
I've got to keep on moving

The song is by the Austrlian group "Men At Work", and the song is called "Ain't Nothing Gonna Hold Me Down".

How to insert music:

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

How to post an audio recording:

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

Record your audio here.
You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

How to mark a thread as solved:

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
