Blue Bayou” was released as the b-side to stateside single “Mean Woman Blues” and became an international hit for Oribson, peaking at No. 3 on the U.K. charts. With no official U.S. radio push, the song finished at only No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I try my best to honor the most beautiful song, and voice I have ever heard:  Linda Ronstadt.

I’ve been away
For what seems like forever
And I can’t say
I feel any better

I’ve been looking real hard
To find out who I am
I’ve been battered and scarred
And that’s by my friends

But I’m back in your loving holiday arms
In from the cold and safe from harm
Yes I’m back in your loving holiday arms
Feeling your spirit, entranced by your charm

Here by the fire
There is no need for words
My heart soars high
And sings with the birds

I see all of the dreams
That once we both shared
But all of those dreams fade
When you’re not there

I’m back in your loving holiday arms
Feeling your warmth and growing strong
Yes I’m back in your loving holiday arms
Healing with grace, I know I belong

I’m back in your loving holiday arms
In from the cold and safe from harm

Can you dance out onto the window ledge
And wipe my blood from the edge?
Calm me down, bring me inside
Pour me tea, and watch me cry

Cianna, Cianna
You’ve got to believe
The special man
I used to be
I used to smile
I used to dance
You’ve got to believe
That I’m worth the chance

Can you forgive the darkest sins
Of lost and lonely, drunken men?
Can you hold my hand and show the way?
Cos all I know are yesterdays

Cianna, Cianna
You’ve got to believe
The gentle soul
That I used to be
I’m always there
For all my friends
A loyalty strong
Until the end

This isn’t a joke, this isn’t a dream
This is one life for what that means
I don’t know if you understand
But if you don’t then I’m a marked man

Cianna, Cianna
You’ve got to believe
And pour your faith
Right into me
I know I’m asking
Far too much
But I swear I need
Your healing touch
 
Cianna, Cianna
You’ve got to believe
The special man
I used to be
I used to smile
How I use to dance
Please take my hand
And give me a chance

What’s your word?

Beautiful Day

This is a track from Northern Track's upcoming, third album

Here With You (Northern Tracks)

As I continue my quest to get better recording drum parts, I draw inspiration from my favourite drummers. 

@sterloid is on top of that list. His creativity working with @johnmayer and others is a lesson in serving the song. 

Here is my attempt of doing that. Snare drum with brushes and percussion layered over drum set. 

After you are done listening, do yourself a favour and go listen to the real version.

Pop - I Guess I Just Feel Like
