Introduction
Hey there! Let me tell you about “The Way It Goes” by Status Quo. It’s one of those tracks that feels like it was made for late-night reflections or long drives with the windows down. You know, those moments when you’re trying to make sense of life’s twists and turns.
What makes this song so special is its laid-back yet introspective vibe. Status Quo, known for their rock-solid riffs and catchy hooks, bring an unexpected depth to this track. The melody has a way of wrapping around you like a comforting blanket, and before you know it, you’re nodding along, thinking about your own journey.
Lyrically, “The Way It Goes” touches on themes of acceptance and resilience. It’s almost as if the band is gently reminding us that life has its ups and downs, and sometimes, you just have to ride the wave. Isn’t it funny how a song can make you feel both nostalgic and hopeful at the same time?
Now, a little tidbit for you: Status Quo has been around for decades, and their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots is pretty incredible. They’ve managed to create a sound that’s both familiar and fresh, which is no easy feat in the music world.
So, next time you give “The Way It Goes” a listen, let yourself get lost in its rhythm. Maybe even think about where you are in your own life story. Who knows, you might just find a new perspective or a bit of peace in those notes. What do you think—can music really change the way we see things, or is it just a fleeting distraction?

Lyrics
Living isn’t easy, feeling bright and breezy
Everybody has to try
Seeing and believing, never show the reason why
Even when we grow up and our bodies slow up, no, no, no
We think again, but do we understand?
That’s the way it goes, oh, everybody knows
That you can’t survive if you ain’t got drive
Those velvet wings can’t help you fly
Those velvet wings won’t always help you to get by
But you must carry on
People try and tell you anything they want to
Saying that it’s only fun
When they got you looking down the barrel of a gun
Never if we know it, are we gonna blow it? No, no, no
We think again and so we understand
That’s the way it goes, oh, everybody knows
That you can’t survive if you ain’t got drive
Those velvet wings can’t help you fly
Those velvet wings won’t always help you to get by
But you must carry on
I haven’t told any secrets
I swore not to tell any lies
Something inside me is saying
That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes
Those velvet wings can’t help you fly
Those velvet wings won’t always help you to get by
But you must carry on
That’s the way it goes, oh, everybody knows
That you can’t survive if you ain’t got drive
Those velvet wings can’t help you fly
Those velvet wings won’t always help you to get by
But you must carry on
Yeah, those velvet wings can’t help you fly
Those velvet wings won’t always help you to get by
But you must carry on
