WHEN I LAY MY WORRIES DOWN

I will shed my old skin
See the world as new again
When I lay my worries down

I will go out on the rocks
And I will gaze upon the flocks
When I lay my worries down

And I will breathe a sigh of ease
Like the wind against the trees
When I lay my worries down

And I will drink the summer wine
But I’ll leave some on the vine
When I lay my worries down

And that looming sense of dread
When I lay down in my bed
When I lay my worries down

Shall be lifted like a stone
And I’ll leave well enough alone
When I lay my worries down

When I lay my worries down (demo)

***AI is FIRM NO - ALL MUSIC WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND PERFORMED BY ©Crackerjack**

©Crackerjack is a dynamic lead, rhythm, and bass guitarist whose sound is deeply rooted in blues-infused hard rock. 

With a musical style that channels the raw energy of Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Slash and AC/DC, along with influences from Guns N' Roses, Gary Moore, Hendrix, and SRV, his music is a powerful blend of intensity and finesse.

While firmly planted in hard rock, ©Crackerjack occasionally explores folk and acoustic sounds, adding depth and variety to his work.  ©CrackerJack handles all mastering, production and performing as well as playing all the instruments, other than drums, which he is soon to learn . Whilst his vocals are not the strongest, he sings with integrity, honesty and passion.

His discography includes several singles and a standout 5-track EP titled 'Life Stories,' which features everything from the driving rhythm of 'Husk' to the heartfelt ballad 'A Love Untold.'

Collaborations with his good friend Somewhere77' and Wendir.

I love how SC brings folks together from all around the world. I've had the opportunity to collab with new friends everywhere from TX (wazzup Tom?) to Germany (proud to officially be called a "Lunatic" with Hendrik and Jorg) to Holland (cheers, Marco!)to Spain (the incomparable Ms King)...to Japan (trading blues licks with Keit)...and hopefully more in the near future.
