Nice interpretation in this track! The guitar is beautiful!

:) So adore your warm voice and vocal phrasings, Pat! Wonderful singing!

If I remember rightly even UB 40 made a cover of it too, and sounds fabulous Pat mate...

Well I must admit I prefer the Country style you done of the song here Pat way better than the Reggae style of the original, and that was a cracking way to cover the song my good freind and a cracking all round job here chap.

Harry Nilsson does a wicked screaming cover of this, but I have to say, I believe this is my new favorite version. Vocals & guitar hit the note. Perfectly.

Love your version of this song …….. great vocals, classy guitar work :)

A song for peace

This is my version of the song "Many rivers to cross", by Jimmy Cliff. Joe Cocker has also made a cover of it on the album "Sheffield Steel".

 Many Rivers To Cross

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...

Elegie du Manoir

not quite a cover...not quite an original...3 VU songs mashed into one...a sort of Holy Trinity
another homage to my mentor Lou Reed
a song for the forgotten and the misunderstood 
the ones who feel they don't belong
some things never change

From that world as bleak a New York street   
On a shuttered Sunday morning                     
Comes the wistful voice of a tired sister's song 
The past reveals its chosen few
To speak for the forgotten 
A reminder for the ones who don't belong 

She hates the quiet place
She hates the big decisions
Wants to watch the bluebird fly and walk away
Oh every time she makes it straight
It breaks her little heart
Break it baby, I'm only singing what you say

Candy says, I've come to hate my body   
Lisa says, She'll do it with just about anybody 
And Stephanie well,                                    
She's given half her life                              
To people she hates now                            

Forget the huddled masses
It don't matter what they think
Can you hear that sound, it's a shape shift melody
A pain that's pure and multiplying, alive in the hereafter 
Their voices blend, Lou's holy Trinity 

She lives to party
Wants to score some action 
Not afraid of dying, it's the living that scares her straight
They call them queers, queens and addicts
Try to break their little hearts
Break it baby, we're still living it today  

Chorus


BRIDGE  It's so cold in Alaska                  
                We're so far from home             
                Now she's walking                      
                away from herself                       
                Look at her go    
                        
Chorus

The Münchaunsen Man- Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

Like Many people, Robert has a Factitious Disorder. One day he thinks he can be a cook, an architect the other a lawyer, a pilot or even a surgeon each time putting the life of others in danger. Robert learns quickly but fundamentally, he is ignorant in many ways. When he pretended that he landed the lunar module Falcon on the moon with Luis Armstrong one should have understand that he was totally phony but clearly indicating that he may have been a jazzman. However, his charisma and his good spiel may bring him to the presidency of his country. Will someone stop him before it is too late?

Note: The lunar Module is the Eagle landed on the moon by Niel Armstrong with Buzz Aldrin.

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Musical notes: This song is vaguely inspired by Chick Corea’s album The Mad Hatter, a classic that you should listen some day.

The Münchaunsen Man

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and triangle
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. He also added some triangle hits you can listen for, that add a little bit more pizzaz to the whole thing. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

A Go Go by Medeski, Martin, Wood and Scofield (Eclectic Collective cover)

In the days of indecision,
In the haze of the truth,
When the path is dark and endless,
And the choice is up to you.

When the curtains start to open,
it’s time to do your part,
the world counting on you now
And you don’t know how to start

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

In the times that test your spirit,
When the world is far from kind,
when hope is dim and fleeting,
and strength is hard to find.

When the road divides before you,
and the night won’t let you see,
When the weight is heavy on your shoulders,
And you don’t know who to be.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

Seasons changing way to fast
These years - where have they gone?
I hope you hear me still
When you’re on your own.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.


I'm With You

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
