This is an arrangement of Seven Nation Army that I wrote.
It was heavily inspired by interpretations of the song by Alice Russell and local soul band from Melbourne, Australia, The Soul Safari.

I performed everything on the track except the drums and keys, and I recorded and mixed everything myself.

Special thanks to Alex Gooding (of the Charlie Lim Band) and Benny "Hoos" Huisman (of The Skylines) for lending me your drumming and keyboarding talents for this one!

Seven Nation Army

Undertow (demo)

Atreyu cover

Marching alone like a good soldier does
I’m setting sail with anchors holding me down
Pack up my bags, stow them away
Bidding farewell to all that is safe

Will I come up for air, come up for air?

After a while the coroner’s calling me
Lolling me, waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone

Withering away her shrinking violet eyes
So full of life these lights have dried me out
Into the sea I needed a drink
I never thought this would consume me whole

Will I come up for air, come up for air?

After a while the coroner’s calling me
Lolling me, waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone
Sinking my heart turns to stone

Save me, take me home over and over again
Save me, take me home, wishing that this all would end
Save me, take me home over and over again
Save me, take me home, wishing that this all would end

After a while the coroner’s calling me
Lolling me, waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone

After a while the coroner’s calling me
Lolling me, waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone
Sinking my heart turns to stone

Save me, take me home
(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)
Save me, take me home
(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)

Save me, take me home over and over again
Save me, take me home
(Wishing that this, wishing that all this would end)
