I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own.
As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY

Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…
Furry car tires, I played a Epiphone then, Ice cream grew on trees, then everyone became fanatical about Hummus, I like Hummus but I lost the argument.
Improvisation is what I love, finding out about things (when there is a little time).
I also post the video where I have used it in. Hedgehogs were here last year in our garden, and now they start coming back from hibernation. Uk, the hedgehog…
Recorded in 2007, this track features Amanda Monaco on Guitar and Anthony Cekay on Saxophone. This is our take on Joe Zawinul's famous tune "In A Silent Way."

One of my favourite Christmas carols beautifully played sir.
Dreamily. Singing, being intimate, should not destroy magic here. The main thing - do not overdo with it ;-)

Ah, a wintry treat!
I missed this one too! Suhweet bluesy gem.
Man- this is cool as all hell! Missed this one of yours
Very nice Kavin! I am really digging this one, it doesn't need a thing :)
this is so beautiful as it is, think anything else would detract chappy. just great as it is
Excellent. I like it as it is!
Really cool how the auto swell backs up the mic'd track so well.
Very nice man. I say run one with a vocal and one without. Let the listener decide. ;)
Well , I say its a great track on its own. If you do a vocal upload so we can a/b them I like iT!
Beautiful guitar track, Kavin. Maybe whisper-y vocals with heavy reverb or just a subtle accompanying guitar might add just enough.
P.S. I don't know about "ruin" with a vocal part, probably not "ruin" but it does hold up nicely as is......just my penn'orth. Jarvo
I did not know ol' Gustav had written this ...very nice arrangement... Jarvo
Very enjoyable song. I'm always a sucker for acoustic guitar!
Thanks Kirk. One channel is dry miked guitar with SM57, one channel thru the DL4, auto volume swell setting.
Very pretty
Gorgeous! How did you get that effect on the guitar? Sounds like a second guitar with the attack time slowed down. Nice!
Comments made by kavin.
nice one. Put in my "surrogate band" playlist!
Congrats, nice piece. Had me fooled on first listen, nice faux guitar tone!
a revival with a Lady Black Smith Mambazo ending!
thanks buddy. My daughter has been enjoying your tunes.
Thanks to whomever for bringing this to the fore again. Love Doug's stuff.
My favorite BC song (there are many) and you did it justice.
...I'd take my rod to the sea. (sorry) Great song!
That bass line has an acoustic sound to it, then processed? Cool.
Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.
I'll keep saying it! Great great song!
What a warm tone, nice job.
Rockin colab yawl. Pass the percodan.
I've given up favoriting all your tracks, I'll just bookmark your page. Amusing comments too.
Are you playing guitar or are these samples? It's ok either way if you dont want to reveal..
Welcome to the party! You've posted some incredibly good stuff!
Wonderful cover of the great ENO. Only 9 listens?
nice blend of kybd voices.
Oh yes one of my PF faves. Added to my alonetone PF playlist.
Lovely..
Lovely, plaintive, good ending.
