🎵 In Front of or Behind Me — Bonnie Legion | Sound Legion Acoustic Yarn World

“In Front of or Behind Me” is an honest, raw track from my Bonnie Legion Acoustic Album on Bandcamp. It captures a restless inner conflict between two ways of thinking — the clash between emotion and reason, feeling and logic, heart and mind.

Musically, the song weaves stripped-back acoustic guitar with subtle electric strumming and a warm, steady bassline. Midway through, a carefully programmed drum beat kicks in at just the right moment, lifting the quiet confessional into something more forceful and alive — like a heartbeat rising during a tough conversation. Every instrument and beat was played and built with a handcrafted touch, giving the track an organic, honest pulse.

Lyrically, this piece is about standing at a crossroads with someone close — moments when two people think they’re speaking the same truth but from opposite angles, spinning in circles, sometimes leading, sometimes following, and sometimes walking side by side. It’s an anthem for those quiet arguments in the head and heart, the deep frustration and the fragile love holding it all together.

The official video brings this feeling into a surreal Yarn World — a dreamy, handcrafted universe where everything is made of crochet and thread. The main character, a yarn doll with flowing multicolored hair, wanders a misty yarn forest, pauses at a fork in a soft yarn road, circles with a shadowy yarn figure that appears ahead and behind — echoing the tangled push and pull of emotion and thought.

This Sound Legion production uses AI-generated images and gentle animation, blending human feeling with new technology in a painterly, whimsical style that’s become my signature. It’s a quiet walk through a stitched-together dreamscape, a place to rest your thoughts if you’ve ever felt torn between what you feel and what you know.

✨ Thank you for listening, feeling, and sharing. If this song moves you, pass it on.

🎶 In Front of or Behind Me

Written & Performed by Shavon Rose Grass aka Bonnie Legion

I don’t have that much to say
It never mattered anyway
My mouth seems to always get me in trouble
I ramble on some useless rant
Trying to make you feel but can’t
Decide if you in front of or behind me

I walk a different path each day
It never seems to go my way
My feet seem to always get me in trouble
I travel with a heavy load
Trying just to think alone
And you always seem to have some way to find me

Chorus:
Oh oh oh I can’t decide
If you’re in front of or behind me
Oh oh oh ohhh
Are you leading me or following right beside me

I never seem to get it right
The choice I made to no surprise
Just swallowed me in a sea of my own depression
I think I’m fighting for myself
With chains of guilt around my belt
And I wonder why I fall into regression

I sigh against the smoke and haze
A fire has lit my heart ablaze
I’m lost it seems and there you are to find me

Chorus:
Oh oh oh I can’t decide
If you’re in front of or behind me
Oh oh oh ohhh
Are you leading me or following right beside me

Bridge:
No one knows but you
How low I can go
No one seems to come through
Someone else but you

Chorus:
Oh oh oh I can’t decide
If you’re in front of or behind me
Oh oh oh ohhh
Are you leading me or following right beside me
