Description: In the absence of feedback on those Dylan echoes I layered into my first cover of "Walking on a Wire," here is the Thompson song without any shades of Dylan. Contrast and compare and let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Excellent production! Is that a sampled keyboard? What else? Gorgeous harmonies.

lovely version of one of my favourite RT songs

Lovely song Kathleen....you've brought a real lightness to it :-)

A cracking song from his 82 album Shoot Out The Lights and cannot go wrong with a Thompson song he's such a prolific writer and a beautiful job of it you done here Kat and very well enjoyed sweetheart.

@majormayhem-1: Whoa, man, get the cotton outta your ears and hear the original again! :)

@progrockdan1: Found this when going back through my tracks to see if I missed anything -- sorry I did and thank YOU for listening!

I'm not familiar with the original but definitely intrigued by this offering, Kat.

A truly great song, performed with such tenderness.  Indeed lovely.

Cornerstone - a long way out

It's a long way out / in the glare
the spin follows / as we go

ship on the horizon
moving in the eye
the whirlpool turns and churns
a sea of red and mud
the tossing waters burns

feeling introspective
things were only just OK
Then it turns to mud / bloody mud and dust [rust]

P-pushing the needle in / hush now/ for the sting
the mind thoroughly stalked / washed and brained
with the spin working overtime / overtime climbing feats
as feet slide underground

so hands auto-touch face / can't see a thing
uncomfortably dumb / I wonder why / there's a cry
blood full of razor blades and eyes full of blasting heat
cutting, wearing, bursting through those bloodshot eyes

we pass the cornerstone

we pass the cornerstone
circle around again

past the cornerstone
crumpled, on hands and knees

past the cornerstone
colourless, frayed and cracked

Lyrics by johns of soundboard tinkerers December 2021

Datum what? Ahoy there!

Cornerstone - A Long Way Out [Lapin ihmeellinen luonto and soundboard tinkerers]

The tension is almost unbearable as we here await our election. I made this as a quick and dirty way to express and process that tension. And guess what... it works for Halloween, too!

[https://youtu.be/tDDGKSTzBxk Mar 30 video gift from JT on my I Disown You] This site is for music fans who think outside the boxy confines of genre labels. Find here and soundcloud.com/kat330repost/tracks my originals and covers on anything from felons to lovers, arranged for and performed on a variety of instruments, for sounds ranging from sweet to sassy and reedy to brassy; from lofty to lowdown and soulful to hoedown; from serious to silly and urban to hillbilly.

I am so grateful you are taking the time to listen to these self-recordings, many of which required an enormous amount of my time and effort to produce. If I also introduce you to a singer-songwriter you never knew, or if something I wrote or recorded brings a smile to your day, well, that's just the sweet icing on my aim-cake!

Hope you will seek out the original artists' versions of cover tunes unfamiliar to you and, please, share my sounds with any like-minded listeners. I also urge you to click on individual track titles to read my production notes and lyrics before or as you push play. Some notes are informative, some are entertaining and some may be neither or both. ☼:) Kathleen xxxooo
