Hey James man, this is a wonderful rendition of this song. You sing it very emotively in your very powerful baritone. Great performance on the guitar, too. Excellent work, my friend!

I remember playing this in a group at a house concert years ago -you must have changed it considerably! I like the organic stripped down approach though

Really digging how you treated the vocals

Wow! Great cover! Deeply moving performance, James. Excellent vocals and guitar work. Love this track 😎👌

This is the very first song that impressed me as a teenager in my college folk club. Two ordinary-looking male engineering students stood up, harmonized and made this song come alive and ring out. Several decades later, I have done my own version

In England in 2023, English folk music is largely scorned (in England only; there is more respect in other UK nations) and is the butt of many popular myths and jokes. Some of us persevere in this unpromising field, withstanding any mockery... (so far).

In English public houses and bars, before radio & TV entertainment kept everybody indoors from 1952 onward, everybody then alive had a party-piece (often from childhood) that could be performed in public for friends and family or in a public house.  And that there, my friends, were (in those days) the last remnants of that there English what-dya-may-callit folk music. Or thereabouts. Some of us survive.

Uptempo dystopian synth-pop. My lyrics, music/vocals M. Lagersson. Copyright 2023 Jay Rich and Micke Lagersson. Lyrics below:

                 Holdout Humans 

V1:

Turn back time just fifty years
See what the doom-mongers feared
When AI was taking off
They knew there would be a cost

V2:

Now we're forced to colonize
Other worlds to fit our size
We've grown exponentially
And it's led to travesty

Lift:

There's less need for agriculture
Or for proper homes
Planet Earth has now become
A huge rewilding zone
Areas for energy-efficient software minds
Both futuristic and return to olden times

Ch1:

Holdout humans, we're the true ones:
All that's left of sapiens
The rest morphed into hybrid androids
Holdout humans, we're the true ones
Our race almost destroyed
We now face an existential void

Bridge:

The general myopia
Has fed this dystopia
Could we not see this would lead
To a strange, alien breed
From this thirst for progress, novelty
And quest for immortality
We're overpopulated
By the spares and clones that we've created
From this nightmare there is no escape

Ch2:

Holdout humans, we remain fixed
With the others we don't mix:
We're all outlaws, throwbacks
Sidelined renegades
Limited in territory
Outcast by the enemy
To this shadow life held hostage
That mankind has made

Outro:

It's now gone so far we can't be saved
And that's how we'll stay until the grave

Lyrics:

I always had to wear the mask on
Pretended to be someone, someone who wasn't me
I was afraid to show myself
Didn't let anyone get to close
Didn't know how to be

But you, saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

I had built myself a wall, of heavy rocks
where no one could get trough
I tried so hard to hide
That i almost forgot that i had you

Oh you saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

When I am with you i feel so free
I can be the real me

Oh you see me for who I am
I don't have to pretend
You see the real me
It feels like i have been found
And i can let the mask fall to the ground....

EXIT

In this fictional story, Madlyn, "the little girl dressed in blue" from the track, Climb Up the Ladder is missed by her dad. We've gotten a number of condolence messages. I guess we did a good job on this track!
