I asked the fans what they would like me to cover next and Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" took the cake! Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" was a close second so I had to try and mesh the two. Hope you dig it!

Skinny Love | Bon Iver (Joel Ansett Cover)

Honey Jars (Cover of Bryan John Appleby)

She’s not red, white and blue
Always moving and changing
The sawgrass waving
You can’t imagine the view
A slithering waterway
Meandering to be free

Does the bayou know where it is going?
And does the vast lake know it is coming?
Such are questions in the design of it all
And gives rise to feeling so small
Amid the scent of water irises
And the sounds of mullet schooling

Chorus
Bayou Liberty, make your music
March to your own drum
And make your way between the banks
Your own freedom on display
Make your music, oh what a ride

Red wing blackbirds sing along the shores
And seagull sorties are everywhere
The bayou provides for one and all
Willows bow in praise of the bounty
The bayou turns away, as if by reply
Moving and shimmering beneath a brassy sky

Bridge
Bayou oh bayou
Sing your moving song
Bayou oh bayou
Take us on home

Chorus
Bayou Liberty, make your music
March to your own drum
And make your way between the banks
Your own freedom on display
Make your music, oh what a ride

Bridge
Bayou oh bayou
Sing your moving song
Bayou oh bayou
Take us on home
Take us on home

Bayou Liberty

LYRICS:
Springtime coming • hearts all need some loving • you’re the only one that’s crossing my mind • and the birds keep humming telling me to let the love in • I’m glad to say I’m making you mine • in the summertime • feel the heat of the love from a clear blue sky • just remember when the clouds roll by • that seeing ain’t believing when it’s something divine • never gonna leave ya • always gonna need ya • seasons change • but my love is gonna stay the same • CHORUS: ‘til the day I die • I’m staying true • baby like the sun across the sky • you are my horizon • and my heart is set on you • my heart is set on you • leaves change color • and you really start to wonder • if that heat was just a passing delight • believe me when I say you’re my mission • you’re my choice and my prize • when I can’t keep you warm •  I’ll still be giving you light • in the winter air • feel the peace of a love that is always there • just remember when you’re feeling blue • through the darkest night • I’m still on my way back to you • never gonna leave ya • always gonna lead ya • seasons change but my love is gonna stay the same • CHORUS • seasons change • my love is gonna stay • love is gonna stay the same • seasons change • my love is gonna stay • love is gonna stay the same • CHORUS

THE SEED

Can't force the seed just let it grow,
My older roots they have deceived me,
If you find the seed then let me know,
We could grow, we could grow,

Polaroid faces take adjacent spaces on your wall,
I study carefully your sunny memories with people I don't know at all,
In a room that resembles you, been assembled through all the things you found as you stumbled through,
As you stumbled through,
That thread bare bear looks like he's been through bare changes, 
And a few of those washing machine to tumble dryer phases,
After all this time he's not been lost,
And all his friends have ended up in charity shops,
But he's still here,

Can't force the seed just let it grow,
My older roots they have deceived me,
If you find the seed then let me know,
I've been waiting, oh we could grow,

That perfume that you pursued to use last night this morning still resumes,
listening to your breathing,
I keep thinking about my breathing and I can't breathe,
I'm not particularly OCD, just a general fan of some symmetry and your shelf layout ratio is not the best,
Id usually have to move a few things but I could get, get used to it, if this is your mess,

Can't force the seed just let it grow,
My older roots they have deceived me,
If you find the seed then let me know,
I've been waiting, oh we could grow,
Oh we could grow,

I've been waiting on it,
We could grow,
I've been waiting on it,
We could grow,
I've been waiting on it,
We could grow,
I've been waiting on it,
We could grow,
I've been waiting on it,

Can't force the seed just let it grow,
My older roots they have deceived me,
If you find the seed then let me know,
I've been waiting, oh we could grow,
Can't force the seed just let it grow,
My older roots they have deceived me,
If you find the seed then let me know,
I've been waiting, oh we could grow,
Oh we could grow,

I wish I would have learned / once you cross the line / it starts to blur 
And even though I know it’s wrong / still I’m falling for the lie / 
I’ve been here before 
So what’s the harm / of one last time 

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end 

I wish would have known / once you blur the line / there’s no telling where you’ll go no Even though I know it’s wrong / 
I need this now to get me by / it’s my comfort 
It’s my right / so what’s the harm / of one more time  

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end 

Lead me home (background vocals) 
Down on my knees / it’s plain to see 
I’m not the best at knowing what is best for me /
Stuck in a cycle of sin and regret / 
Circles of wanting but going to the wrong place to get /
But we were never meant to break it on our own / 
Trying to make it all alone /
Has left me faking like I know that way to shake this / 
so I’m asking for help 
Cause every time I try to save myself  

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end / bring the cycle to an end / 
bring the cycle to an end

📝 Lyrics:

So many roads to follow
So many rivers to seek
So many mountains and bays 
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me 

So many trails to step upon 
So many peaks to reach 
So many colours and coves
Tiny islands to roam
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 
Come runaway with me 

Too much time stuck in the city 
Too many days lots to a screen 
Subways and trains
Tall buildings and cranes
Gone drive a man insane

For i need a week out in the woodland 
With a lantern and kerosene
Pines cones and sparks
September dark 
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 

And i've been thinking
This town ain't where we both should be 
And iv'e been wandering
If you'll wander round this world with me

And i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees
And Sunset over lake louise 
And of you wandering this world with me 
Come runaway with me 

So many roads to follow
So many river to seek
So many mountains and bays
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me
