Love this song! Good job! Thanks for posting this. :-)

I agree with Mark...super cover of a great song Roger!

Great cover Roger!!!..passion all the way!..superb!!!:))

Really enjoyed this wonderful rendition, Roger...

Wonderful heart felt rendition you own this truth brother. SOTDD

Allen Bailey wrote this great song here, and I just developed some music for it. Sat down and played what I felt and this was created, literally, in a take or two. Magical how that happens sometimes. The music just flowed so quickly as if it were intended for these words. Can't really explain it. They just seemed to unfold. Wish that would happen more often!!! :D Huge thanks, Allen, and look forward to hear what you do for the words I sent on to you in need of music, as well. Cheers!

Life's A Rainbow - Collab ft. Riff (Hess) performing Allen G. Bailey's Lyrics

I had posted this song a few months back last year with just acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica. Russell Sinfield heard it in his own special way and wanted to add something to it. He took up the tempo a little and then got Gary Reeves to add percussion. He then did the bass himself and finally had Gavin Stephens to do the trumpet. I was quite blown away with the end result! I hope you don’t mind giving this song a listen again. These are three supremely talented artists and I can’t thank them enough!

When I’m Young Again – Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Met a man with a broken wheel
Had the ride of his life
He turned to me to make a deal
To do it one last time
Off we went into the night
Through the dark I drove
The sky with stars and satellites
The road with tar and stones
Then he spoke after a while
Said things have really changed
Guess I’ll be where I should have been
When I’m young again

I was wondering about my friend 
Just what had turned his tide
Did he think that this journey’s end
Would be one happy ride
Do you know I was happy once
In the silence he spoke
His tone of voice had me in a trance
Like a reed that broke
It’s always once upon a time
And on and on, on this road
Guess I’ll write my own fairy tale
When I’m young again

Twice I stopped for fuel and beer
Back on the road we went
It was all becoming clear
This was no accident
At last I spoke and asked him straight
Where he wanted to go
He smiled the smile we smile at fate
And said where I was before
Each passing year I think of him
And of that journey so strange
Guess I still want to be with you
When I’m young again

Borderland  - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a wire fence running east
Keeping Eden out of bounds
And he speaks unto the least
Like a Sermon on the Mount
And as the living often do
Find a million ways to die
I was born loving you
A truth I still deny

It’s my inheritance they say
A house with many rooms
But I be homeless night and day
Until I’m in the tomb
Behind that solid door
Something else lies in
And when you open up you know
It was the same old thing

Now you and I we learned
That freedom’s golden chains
Caused Paradise to burn
And we both took the blame
Still shaken from the fall
And I can’t get back up
They all are prison walls
Everything I touch

I’m crawling through the sands
To the setting sun
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome


Borderland

Annies Song

Glittering with cold 
The path she walks 
All the storm clouds gather 
When she talks 

Numbingly removed 
With scorn she mocks 
Her pride held high 
Even when she chokes 

Skeletons she finds 
Hollow country lanes 
She can not concentrate 
Fog consumes her brains 

Pretty puppet let me sleep 
I can not keep up this face 
While I bleed 

Memories who she once was 
Scattered pieces 
Shards of broken glass 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you'll run with us 
Help me, I need a friend here 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you can run from us 
She says help me, I need a friend here 

Eternal youth 
Can make you fly 
Airy spirits lost and found 
But wry and dry 

The constant cycle 
Of the butterfly 
Her silver hair 
Becomes the sky 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you'll run with us 
Help me, I need a friend here 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you can run from us 
She says help me, I need a friend here 

Beauty is so vain they say 
It betrays the soul they say 
She doesn't want to play the game 
She doesn't want to be this way 
So she's getting out of here 
Living over ocean air 

She says 
Good bye 
Good bye

I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER			
YEA, I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER			
LOOKED IN THE WATER			
YEA, I LOOKED IN THE WATER			
WHAT DID I SEE			
YEA, WHAT DID I SEE			
I SAW A SINNER MAN			
YEA, I SAW  A SINNER MAN			
LOOKING BACK AT ME			
LORD, HE WAS LOOKING BACK AT ME			
WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I SAW			
NO, I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I SAW			
THE DEVIL HAD A HOLD ON ME			
LORD, HE HAD A HOLD ON ME			
I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES			
LORD, I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES			
I PRAYED TO JESUS			
LORD, I PRAYED TO JESUS			
TO SAVE MY SOUL			
LORD, TO SAVE MY SOUL			
THEN I GOT BACK UP			
YEA, I GOT BACK UP			
I LOOKED IN THE WATER			
YEA, I LOOKED IN THE WATER			
I SAW A NEW MAN			
LORD, I SAW A NEW MAN			
SO I CALLED THAT PREACHER MAN			
YEA, I CALLED THAT PREACHER 			
I SAID COME DOWN TO THE RIVER			
PREACHER, COME DOWN TO THE RIVER			
BABTISE ME IN THAT WATER			
YEA, BAPTISE ME IN THAT RIVER			
THAT PREACHER CAME A RUNNIN			
LORD, HE CAME A RUNNIN			
WE JUMPED IN THAT WATER			
YEA, WE JUMPED IN THE RIVER			
HE BABTISED ME THAT WATER			
BABTISED ME IN THAT WATER 			
HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN TO THE RIVER			
AND LOOKED IN THE WATER			
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER
