Well, first off, sorry that this is the first thing that I have posted in quite some time! I took a little "vacation"! Second off, I'm not really sure who wrote this, I don't think it was Johnny Cash, but I know that his rendition of it is the most popular. Also, sorry about the mess-up on the last stanza; I kind of lost beat. Hope you enjoy! You will hear more stuff from me in the future!

Johnny Cash- The Junkie's Prayer (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

This one goes out to my father who passed away March of last year. Love you and miss you a lot Dad!

John Newton- Amazing Grace (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

A great spiritual written by Wallace Willis. A pleasant reminder that neither music nor God judge based upon the color of a person's skin, but the content of a person's character!

Wallace Willis- Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

A song that my mother, Tracey, and I did for Church!

Matt Maher- Lord I Need You (Cover by Gabriel Collier and Tracey Andrews)

This is a crappy cover of a little known song by Nirvana. Most people don't know that Cobain was a religious guy!

Nirvana- They Hung Him on a Cross (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

One of my favorites from Santana's "Supernatural" album! Yes, I know it sucks... :(

Carlos Santana- Put Your Lights On (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

This is a sub-par acoustic guitar cover of Fur Elise by Beethoven. Sorry about the annoying buzzing noise in the background, I cannot figure out why my microphone is doing that! :/ 

Ludwig van Beethoven- Fur Elise (Acoustic Guitar Cover by Gabriel Collier)

This is my first original song that I uploaded on SoundCloud, hope you guys like it!

Lyrics:

The seasons are getting longer
And I don't remeber anything
The days are too drawn out now
And I feel my time slippin' away
Yes my time's slippin' away

The sun is getting dimmer
And the night is blanketing
My body's no longer a temple
I'm losing all of my decency
I feel my time slippin' away

The hours are getting colder
My mind's beginning to fade
My body's getting number
I'm losing my touch with reality
And I feel my time is slippin' away

The light is drawing closer
I was blind but now I see
I've reached the end of the road
But now I start a new journey
And I've got the rest of eternity

Oh how the time can slip away...

Gabriel Collier- My Time's Slippin' Away

Here's another original by me! Tell me what you think! :)

Lyrics:

There's an aching in my soul
It's a dark, and bitter hole
It's a relentless crushing power
That gets heavier by the hour

Chrous:
But I know, if I just opened my heart, opened my mind
It would get better
But I'm, stubborn as a mule, hard as a rock
One crusty bastard

It's all my fault, for closing you out
And keeping my feelings in
And for this, baby I'm sorry
Please, forgive me darling
(Chorus)

I've never been right to you
I always went through and through
I don't blame you for leaving
I get what you're feeling
(Chorus)






Gabriel Collier- I'm One Crusty Bastard

An original by me! Tell me what you think!

Lyrics:

Hello all, I am sad to report
Another fallen brother
Hello all, I am sad to say
Another angel has left the fray

Hello all, I hate to be the bearer
Of the terror that faces our kin
Hello all, sorry if I'm under skin
I just think you deserve to know

Chorus:
The way it really goes
It ain't pretty, no
There's no way to describe it
There's no way to sugar-coat it

Hey everybody, see that little boy
He ain't got a single a toy
His mamma's out, his daddy's gone
And he doesn't know what he ever did wrong
(Chorus)

My dear friends, I'm sorry for leaving you
Good luck, with whatever you may do
You wouldn't understand
Why this man has to leave
(Chorus)



Gabriel Collier- The Way It Really Goes

A song that I wrote about an encounter that I had with God. Not word for word, but the same basic message!

Lyrics:

There's a darkness that's dwelling in my heart
There's nothing keeping me from falling apart
The Word of God speaks to me
I can hear it audibly

It's saying boy get your mind straight
And stop all of your hate
I don't want to wait
Anymore than you've made me

Chorus:
It's getting old
You're neither hot nor cold
You're like festering mold
You're anger sickens me
To the point of agony
I've had so much mercy on you
Now it's time for you to come through

I only say these things
Because I love you
I always have
You know it's true

I sent my only son
So you can do what you do
Don't waste it, it's not some petty prize
Look into my fiery eyes
(Chorus)
 


Gabriel Collier- It's Getting Old

Hey everyone! Long time since I have uploaded a song! I have been really busy lately, so sorry about that. Sorry that this is pretty rusty too! :/

Ben E. King- Stand by Me (Cover by Gabriel Collier)

Hey there! My name is Gabriel, I am new to singing and came to SoundCloud in hopes of maybe getting some reviews and just see what people think of my voice.

I mainly do acoustic folk covers.

Big influences are Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Jerry Garcia, Carlos Santana, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler (just to name a few!).

I gladly welcome constructive-criticism! If you ever have a hard time contacting me, shoot me an email at gabecollier@live.com. I will reply back as soon as possible! :)

P.S. (I generally give the song's credit to the artist with the most popular version of the song. Yes, I know that "Hurt"  was originally a  Nine Inch Nails song)
