Great (if unexpected :) rendition, love it when the rock touch sneaks back in the guitar solo

It's an interesting version. And the guitar if perfect as always.

I didn't realize I needed this cover in my life. What an unexpected treat, Peter! And great story of dealing with Chuck's publishers.

Contains a snippet of narration of H. P. Lovecraft's 'The Colour Out of Space' by Ian Gordon for HorrorBabble.

The farewell is now announced,
nature mourns,
the summer is too much aged,
its clock is now ticking.

The becoming is past,
the parting sets in,
it shows itself in sublimity
as autumnal beautiful glow.

A silver-colored night robe
wraps mountain and valley,
the world - it shines in retirement,
the sun shines pale.

The dew pearls from stalk and leaf,
the sky shows its blue
and every drop reflects dully,
and brightens the gray of farewell.

A heavy course is carried out
in silent harmony,
It is life's farewell song
it will never go out.

Der Abschied ist nun angesagt,
es trauert die Natur,
der Sommer ist zu sehr betagt,
es läuft jetzt seine Uhr.

Das Werden ist Vergangenheit,
es setzt das Scheiden ein,
es zeigt sich in Erhabenheit
als herbstlich schöner Schein.

Ein silberfarbnes Nachtgewand
ummantelt Berg und Tal,
die Welt – sie glänzt im Ruhestand,
die Sonne leuchtet fahl.

Es perlt der Tau von Halm und Blatt,
der Himmel zeigt sein Blau
und jeder Tropfen spiegelt matt,
verschönt des Abschieds Grau.

Vollzogen wird ein schwerer Gang
in stiller Harmonie,
es ist des Lebens Abgesang,
erlöschen wird es nie.

I read an article the other day where the term " Single use soldier " was used, poorly trained and ill equipped soldiers who are sent to the front line as a distraction whilst the main offensive is being carried out somewhere else, there is only one outcome for these poor boys, what have we become ?
This song is for all the "Single use Soldiers" Maybe a few of them might hear it before its too late. 

Written and performed and produced by :Johnny Mc Farlane

Lyrics:

Here we are, lost in haze
In an endless concrete maze
Working for our enslavement
nature giving way to pavement

Turn our back on truth
Our convenience is now a prison
Sold lies of a better tomorrow
Consumed by greed, promises hollow

Money's your God now

Hungry ghosts wail and moan
Believed the lies they were shown
Mouths agape at parlor tricks
Pied pipers’ lead to the river Styx

Forgot everything that’s come before
Bathed in the manufactured glow
Consuming all of our attention
cradle to grave their sole intention

We never take the time to ask
Who profits from our pain and lack
We watch others fall through the cracks
Our morals no longer intact

Black mirrors sell a vision
Improve our fallen condition
$19.99 for the golden calf
It’s half-off, better act fast

Slip down the evolutionary ladder
Brains shrink with each misstep
Sell our souls to get our kicks
How many skeletons got rich quick

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Babylon built brick by brick
Bad decisions wall us in
Search for the escape hatch
buried beneath mounds of scratch

We’ve reached critical mass
No attention span left to ask
Why the foundation is so cracked
Tipping point has been surpassed

Life valued less than common cents
Even our bodies have been lent
Ones and zeroes decide our fate
Plastic identity, totally fake

Sign on the dotted line 
Everything goes, name your price
Puppets dangle from golden threads
Souls gone, hearts of lead

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was...

Never enough to feed the beast
Consumes all for its feast
Never stops, feeds and feeds 
Belly bloated on all that breathes

We won’t stop until we reach
The highest peak of idiocy
Almost there, not much time left
We wallow in our lack of depth

There’s still time, we could say no
To this degenerate side-show
Turn back this broken clock
The door will open if we knock

Unless...

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Song composed during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Joint composition with Bryan McDaniel. Guitar Bryan McDaniel.

There is nothing wrong with you because you are different. Everyone is different.

We do not have to be homogeneous; we do not have to be the same. There is distance and difference between even the closest of human beings. We do not have to walk the same path to share the same vision: that all view points are valuable; except for hate, which is not a viewpoint at all but a dark glass some people see through… losing all clarity and beauty.

We do not need to stand above someone. We can stand side by side and not be in each other’s shade…so that we all receive the same amount of sunlight. 

Two great things we can do in life: Have the courage to be yourself, your unique self and embrace what is different about you; and the second thing is to embrace what is different about everyone else …what is their unique contribution to the world?  (And maybe doing the second will only come from doing the first. Maybe you can’t accept everyone else’s differences unless you accept your own). 

Every power struggle, abuse, and essentially all inequity in the world is related. We need to solve the inequities in our own lives in order to impact the world’s inequities and essentially set a good example so that others will follow, not you; but your behaviour, by making changes on their own.

Differences are very important. We need them to understand things…without differences we cannot compare, understand, and get perspective. We wouldn’t even have a concept of time without differences! Differences create understanding if we embrace them and only difference can create change and growth…the concepts of change and growth are also not possible without differences! 

The ironic thing is that humans sometimes think that rejecting differences and striving to be the same will create unity. But the opposite is true: only through accepting all our differences and celebrating them can we truly unite and move forward.

As most musicians know you have to get licensing permission from the publisher of any song if you want to stream your cover version on Spotify, Apple Music etc. and if you want radio play. Also if you change any of the lyrics you also have to get permission. Imagine my surprise when Chuck Berry’s Publishers gave me the OK to change several of the words in this classic tune!
Needless to say “Johnny B. Goode” is considered one of the most recognizable songs in Popular music. It is credited as the first Rock ’n Roll song about Rock ’n Roll stardom. My version of this classic was deeply influenced by Peter Tosh. An interesting side note - when Chuck Berry originally wrote this song he changed “coloured boy” to “country boy” to ensure radio play.

Bio
In 2007 at age 63 Montrealer Peter Wheeler bought his first guitar. He then went to amazon.com and purchased a book called “How To Play The Guitar for Dummies”. Since then he hasn’t looked back. 

Sometimes serious - sometimes humorous Wheeler’s music seeks to re-capture the Classic Vibes  from the 70’s & 80’s. To best describe his music imagine Bob Dylan & The Doors meet The Clash & Leonard Cohen at the Hotel California & share a bottle of wine with Tarantino. Peter Wheeler is a poet - focusing all his energies into creating musical canvases to express his personal vision of the world surrounding him. 

For several years Peter was part of the local bar scene in the Greater Montreal area.  He performed as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Rock Roulette Band. His experiences giving live performances and continually improving his guitar playing has truly shown that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

In 2020 Peter teamed up with Johnny Vienneau, a multi- talented musician and Producer from Montreal and recorded his first album of cover songs called "Self Portrait".  https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/sets/self-portrait-1

Prior to embarking on his musical odyssey Peter's main passion was painting having had several major exhibitions and loyal patrons. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=a.46081025804&type=3    

Today Peter continues to pursue his passion for The Arts by doing portraits of friends, family and people he greatly admires. In 2021 he became a re-born again environmentalist and his songwriting is now focused on increasing awareness of the climatic challenge facing the planet.
