Beware of Darkness cover
vaisvil
George’s message is everything
I have not done many covers…. this I had to do
but it does not compare to the original
This is from 1983 and is a primitive multiple double tracked recording
yamaha CS-10 monophonic analog synth (for everything but guitar and voice)
fender mustang
echoplex
two casette decks
George Harrison’s song
Inspiration:
listen to the lyrics….
Beware of Darkness
Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of maya
Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping atlas cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)
such a good track! I dont know if its coincidence or if I am influenced by the picture of George, but it has The Beatles touch... wich is so very good
Actually, this is good! You really put that across, brilliant instrumentation as well.
Mm, very poignant. Hadn't heard that before... Really nicely done.
Great choice of a cover. I love George. He's one of my musical heroes. Good job.
