Great Cover!  You've certainly made it your own.  Thanks!

Cool vocals man... liking the solo guitar in the background, and your acoustic guitar in the forefront.

What a great choice for a cover Riff! Really like this interpretation. A lot of depth with that haunting guitar crying in the background. You retained the feel of the era but given it a very new surface. Nice. Durge

great track Riff, great singing, and music.

I like how you retained the retro sounds of the era for this old classic, but you definitely made it your own quite smoothly. Nicely done Riff!

I felt inspired to collaborate when Tom posted his piece, 'Un Ange Passait' recently - https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier/un-ange-passait.

Feels like a visitation,
Although not quite an apparition,
When an angel passed by.

We've all shared such strange sensations,
Often without complications,
When an angel passed by.

When an angel passed by... when an angel passed by

We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around
(Repeat Verses)

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta
(Repetir versos)

Pour a cup and wash me up
Take me to that place
Cleanse my soul and make me whole
Lord, Bathe me in your Grace
Dry your eyes and don’t despise
All the pain you hold inside
Life’s too short to break a Heart
Can’t believe it’s real
Say a prayer 
Let me know you care
And show me how you feel
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
Oooh, It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
No time to feel alone
We’re all where we belong 
So let’s be strong and carry on
Soon we’ll be headed home
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
It’s just my Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory 
Floating in the Wind

wasted away again
now i'm coming home my friend
this is not the way i envisioned it
it's all my fault

its not the time to mend and heal
its time to make repairs
all my loves and my relationships
and to all the things i broke

the air... still feels...
the same... round here...
and i'm all there is to blame
and its all my fault

the faces when i close my eyes
remind me of my shame.
and take me to a place i can't let go
and it's all my fault

just let me go home
i can do better
i can do better

all these tears can't wash away all that wretched pain
just let me do better
lord let me do better

there's that line in the dirt
made of soil and decay
let me do better
let me do better

theres that long dark road
where i been down before
let me do better
let me do better

Dark Roads

Dirty Lies Lyrics:

Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
Dirty lies
You're hiding something
You don't know I got wise
Words travel fast
In storms of dirty lies

You've seen another with
those big beautiful eyes
Through them I see your soul
Where all your secrets hide ...
your dirty lies
Dirty lies
I'm digging up
Your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
All those dirty lies

You turn your back
When I get close
You seem to want to get away
You'll talk for hours
On the phone
Then look at me with nothing to say

I vowed to always love you
Through lows and highs
You promised to be faithful
'til the day that you die

But you drove off the track
Took your eyes off the prize
Now you're stuck in the mud
Bogged down by dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
I'm digging up
dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
All your dirty lies

You said I was the only one
Never want another guy
But I heard from a little bird
What you say is drawing flies

Inside my heart is raging
The truth, quite the surprise
'Bout time that you come clean
About your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Been digging up
All your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Been digging up
All your dirty lies

Dirty Lies

The Game Deconstructed -with IPG1

An all Original instrumental Electro composition by Riff Beach. Music and Instruments by Riff Beach via RiffWerx and 3B Recording & Productions (RiffWerx Records) 2022.  :D))) Created with HSS Stratocaster and recorded using a Supro Delta King 10 Tube amp and Fender Champion 20 Lead tones.

Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background.
"Like A Rock"
Bog Seger 
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow-straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock
Standin' arrow-straight
Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock
Carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock
Hard against the wind
Like a rock
I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock!
