Den här kanske skulle gå under kategorin färdiga demon men eftersom jag ska in och höja sologitarren lite (och kanske nån annan liten tweak med) så får den gå under halvfärdiga.
Var ute efter en blandning av elektrisk och akustiskt, lite i stil med ex Hooters One Way Home platta. Till min hjälp fick jag då den nyazeländska artisken Allan Kilgour (www.allankilgour.com) som bidrog med akke, mandolin, lap steel och fiol. Själv känner jag mig väldigt nöjd förutom då nivån på solot men tar gärna emot all sorts input.
A WEIGHT UPON MY HEAD
When I look upon the stars high in the sky
and I realise, all of them must die
there's the afterglow of some already dead
and the thought of that puts a weight upon my head
When I think of all the time that passed me by
as I waited for my catcher in the rye
by good intentions I was so misled
and the thought of that puts a weight upon my head
Lift the weight from off my shoulders
roll away this big old stone
let me sleep a dreamless sleep tonight
let me be
leave me alone
please let numbness fall upon me
strike me deaf and strike me blind
lift the weight from off my shoulders
for just one night
When I look upon my fathers pale, white face
where the sparkle in his eyes now lost in haze
there are many thing I should have left unsaid
and the thought of that puts a weight upon my head
Lift the weight from off my shoulders
roll away this big old stone
let me sleep a dreamless sleep tonight
let me be
leave me alone
please let numbness fall upon me
strike me deaf and strike me blind
lift the weight from off my shoulders
for just one night
When I look upon my newborn sound asleep
and I realise she's not mine to keep
she will live her life long after I am dead
and the thought of that puts a weight upon my head
Lift the weight from off my shoulders
strike me deaf and strike me blind
lift the weight from off my shoulders
for just one night
