Let Me Roll

Feel free to check out the lyric video here - https://youtu.be/nrbZ_Jpt7cw

Do you regret where you are do you even know where you’ve been?
Can you remember the reason for this fight you’re now in?
What started out with goodwill it always ends far from hope
I hate the words that you punch me with and repent the thoughts that I spoke yeah I spoke
But I can’t remember all the good things in my life
Did they really happen or are my regrets just faking
Keep swearing each night I’ll be a better man
But I heard love shines brighter when fighting words are fading
And our fighting words keep fading

Ya cut your wrist with our credit cards cos I said our debts killing us
Keep feedin’ your mind facts of despair through black days full of white fuzz
But if it’s not worth the argument then you’ve not earned the moan
And if you can’t stand up to stop yourself your pride’s only on loan
And I still can’t remember all the good things in my life
Did they really happen or are my regrets just faking
Keep swearing each night I’ll be a better man
But I heard love shines brighter when fighting words are fading
Cos I can’t remember all the good things in my life
Did they really happen or are my regrets just faking
Keep swearing each night I’ll be a better man
But I heard love shines brighter when fighting words are fading
Why’d we always have to wade in

Why do we fight reasons keep escaping
How do we fight then claim to love each other
Will we always fight guess nothing lasts forever
So let’s relive days when we were more than lovers
So much more than lovers cos we are more than lovers
But I can’t remember all the good things in my life
Did they really happen or are my regrets just faking
Keep swearing each night I’ll be a better man
Could our love shine brighter if fighting words weren’t fading

Why are we fighting fighting and fighting always fighting do you remember?
Why are we fighting fighting about fighting why’d we start fighting cos I can’t remember
Let’s try forgiving our reasons mis-given a love life’s for living and not remember
No let’s not remember

Texte Français et Google traduction
ELLE AVANCE DOUCEMENT

Marquées sur le visage
Des traces de souffrances
Un mal bien avant l'âge
Pourquoi ce manque de chance
Que dire d'un accident
Un mauvais coup du sort
La perte d'un enfant
Parti si vite et mort

Dans toutes ses blessures
Qui l'on marquées à vie
Nombreuses autres brûlures
Lui prennent le cœur aussi
L'absence d'amour
Qu'elle n'a pas accepté
Depuis ce triste jour
Quand lui, il a quitté

Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

Elle se refait une vie
Toute simple et ordinaire
Dans ses pensées aussi
C'est une douce mère
Mais là-haut bat son cœur
Elle n'oubliera jamais
Mauvais jour de malheur 
Fait de mal et regrets

Elle reste à exister
Et toujours comme elle peut
Essayant d'avancer
En faisant de son mieux
Car ses autres petits
Qui eux n'ont rien à voir
Font aussi toute sa vie
Et mérite ses regards
 
Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

Elle se fait vivre ainsi
Malgré toutes ses traces
Et attend qu'aujourd'hui
Que le malheur s'efface
Doucement dans sa tête
Pour reprendre un chemin
Et revivre peut être
Ne voyant que demain

Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

SHE MOVES SLOWLY
Marked on the face
Traces of suffering
An illness well before its time
Why this lack of luck
What to say about an accident
A bad twist of fate
The loss of a child
Gone so quickly and dead

In all his wounds
Who marked them for life
Numerous other burns
Take his heart too
The absence of love
That she didn't accept
Since that sad day
When he left

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

She's making a new life
Very simple and ordinary
In his thoughts too
She's a sweet mother
But up there beats his heart
She will never forget
Bad day of misfortune
Hurts and regrets

She remains to exist
And always as she can
Trying to move forward
Doing your best
Because his other little ones
Who they have nothing to do with
Also do all his life
And deserves his looks

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

She makes herself live like this
Despite all its traces
And wait until today
May the misfortune fade away
Softly in his head
To get back on a path
And maybe live again
Seeing only tomorrow

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

(Verse 1)
The battle cries out, a melody of steel
The air is thick with smoke, the scent of death you smell
A warrior's heart beats strong, a fire in his heart
He fights with fury, and for treasures to bring home

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where heroes never die
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(Verse 2)
The battlefield is silent, the smoke begins to clear
The fallen lie in slumber, their spirits filled with joy
For they have earned their place, around the table in Odin's hall
Where warriors gather, and their stories will never die

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die


Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

Deadly Hate

I'm not doing any music these days,so I thought I'd post one I did years ago. It's a cover of a Paul Ads song I've always loved.

Paul Adamson is a damn fine songwriter and I hardly ever record covers of other folk's work,but this one resonated deeply with me and still does after repeated listens.
I didn't lean too heavy on the production on this,because I wanted to allow the song to shine. I hope you enjoy and bring a few listens to Paul's cloud.

Words and music by PaulAds. Song covered by Davy Vance

So Haunt Me - a song by PaulAds (The Funeral Crasher)

A guitar player and composer determined to create music which fits a personal perspective, defying the rules of today's music industry, associated laws & habits.

Every song is an expression of love for music in all its aspects, and a tribute to some of the '70, '80 & '90 rock bands, which have influenced the style.

Songs are mainly performed by good friends from other bands and people sharing same ideas & views.
