Mike Denison (Lumberfork)

Yours was the soul
footsteps and breath and river all drone
memories lash
I trudge alone
trails turned foreign
paths unknown
since I don't have you
distant dog barking drifts by on the breeze
emptiness crushes
I fall to my knees…

This song is from Don McLean's first album. I grew up listening to and loving this song, and had long since forgotten about it until it popped into my head this morning.

Two nights ago I dreamed this sad version of Help!
Today I put it down just to see what it sounds like. One mic, one take, one guitar, and one very dry voice.
Not intending to be self-deprecating, but if anyone with actual musical talent…

Stunning. Goosebumps. His one-man-one-guitar interpretation is now the definitive version of this song for me.
So this isn't just a Procol…

Messing around with mixing.
Sometimes I wonder if your hair is still black and long
If your eyes are still brown and staring shyly at the ground
If your button nose still curves just so
If your eyes still stay close when you laugh
Sometimes…

The city hums like a restless dream
Lights flicker
Fade
Then lose their gleam
I walk these streets
But they don’t know my name
I’ve been chasing shadows
Losing time
Looking for a spark
A sign
Take me home
Where the air feels lighter…

We danced barefoot till our soles hurt,
Moonlight stitching silver on our skin,
The night was a canvas, painted in laughter,
Every heartbeat drumming from within.
We gave the stars a reason to linger,
Spinning wild with the wind in our…

Whispers rise in the gentle air,
A fragile vow is floating there.
Every heartbeat is keeping time,
With the rhythm of your soul and mine.
No tomorrow can take this away,
In your arms, I want to stay.
In your arms
I want to stay…

He walks through the city, the lights all aglow,
Faces rush past him, but none seem to know.
He whispers to shadows, he speaks to the skies,
Asking the night where his true love hides.
But the stars keep their silence, the moon turns away…

A shadow in a crowded room,
No one saw the tears she wept.
She still kept her dreams inside.
Your story’s not forgettable,
The world was blind, but you still shined,
You are the proof, you are the flame.
I call your name
I call your…

But then sometimes in the colorless light of a hazy windy moonlit night, the feeling haunts you like you've known that you would always be alone.
But then sometimes in the sparkling sun, you think of things you should have done…

The story of everyone's life.
I tried again, after I learned it a bit better.
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down…

Another song I love. Nothing compares to Lou, though. Seasonal, will melt away soon!

When the rain comes
as it always does
I remember you with me
Under the kissing tree
you fell with me
fell with me
You have been so far
so far from me
across the sea
And when the rain comes
as it always does
I remember you…

Your song reminds me its okay to not clean up too much a confusing end.. To let it be what it is to you ,despite outside urging..
This is a song my late-night self apparently left for my morning self to think about. I admit it just keeps gnawing at me, maybe not in a good way.

There's a story behind this that's uninteresting to anyone but me. A short version is that my old, broken guitar (made semi-immortal with duct tape and instrumental willpower) needed to play this Dylan song before it is laid to rest.

Really nice acoustic work, and this is supposed to be a compliment, but your voice is perfect for Dylan.

This is a mighty cool version Mike. And thanks for the shout out! I've always loved this song since I first heard it in the early 70s. In the early 80s we (a blues rock band) kept getting asked to play it. I cannot remember whether we actually gave in. But I learnt it the way I play it now in the 90s. I still play it regularly sat on the sofa (it's about the only song I know all the way through, including my own!!) - I sing it to my wife who looks on indulgently!! lol
