Powderfinger - Neil Young cover vs2

New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?

If You're Listening

A new song about my home suburb, will be released as part of a double A side single soon on Metal Postcard Records.

Maylands, you're on your way, a sunlit day, hangs before us.
Maylands, the lion roars, the swallows soar, the milk gets poured so

Stand in line, it's breakfast time, as trains roll by the Midland line.

Maylands, you'll have your day, your lands of May, are getting nearer.
may long, the gun shop run, we will be armed, to the teeth

Stand in line, it's breakfast time, as trains roll by the Midland line.

Original homemade work in process uploaded and copyrighted 2014-07-06 00:39 GMT here on Sound Cloud.   This is one of my favorite demo songs (very simple folk ) I written and composed.    I believe it would be a really good vocal fit for Adele , Taylor Swift, and Miranda Lambert.   I have pitched this song to certain artists / labels / producers in chance they may take it under their wing.   It has the potential to be turned into a good song or perpetuated into a great song..  The building blocks of great songs need to start somewhere and originality is hard for some producers and singers to establish.  There are few concepts and rare true originality in the music world that can be mega mainstreamed.   Sometimes it comes in the simplest forms.  You look at the structure / concept and mechanics of this song and perk up the vocals and drag it out some and then you get the start of your song and then revisited it in second part of song and you see a resemblance or copy right infringement since I publically uploaded this song in 2013.  Just need a piano with a simple pulse for some people!   Bob Dylan said there are no rules anymore in the music business and those who know music well know about sound alikes and theft of music concepts / structure and mechanics of a song and this happens at the top of the food chain it appears or by fluke of nature and mere coincidences? Let the music people decide!
LYRICS..
It was May that day
I was lost in the hidden valley of decay
   and  you came my way
your heart brought a spirit to stay
    but betray gave way
And I fell back to the valley of decay
And I fell back to the valley of decay
   And now u say 
U pray that together we just might stay
   but go away  
there aint no room for you anyway
there aint no room for you anyway
And today in May I wait for another who came to stay
And keep me from the valley of decay
No more hidden valley's of decay
No more hidden valley's of decay

  At last the squalls of April comes.
The sailing ships are gone
The Shalamar majestic in the sun
As the harbor fades we raise the sails
And all hands set to work 
With each swell of the ocean we move on

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia
 
The clouds hang low the sky`s are dark
The night will follow soon.
The changing of the seasons come and go.
A friendly wind..a guiding star
The rhythm of the sea 
Sailing soft upon the ebb and flow .

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

The blacksmith and the carpenter
Are working at their trade
The steerers making sure the ropes uncoil
The sailors and the greenhands new
Repair the nets and line
The cooper makes the barrels for the oil

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

October comes our work is done
We set our sails for home
We`ll see land before its winter time
The rigging set, the irons cleaned
The smell of paint and stain
It wont be long before the home bell chimes

The Davis Strait is where were bound.
Blacklead Island and the Sound.
From Baffin Bay back home to Nova Scotia

Home to Nova Scotia
