Not much to say by way of introductory remarks. This song is definitely not in the typical gamelive spirit of darkness, sarcasm and cynicism. Positivity and optimism may be detected. View at your own risk.







WATCHING THE CLOUDS DRIFT AWAY

Look at the beautiful sunrise
He cries though no one is there
Standing over the treetops
High on the green earth somewhere
Sometimes he talks to the mountains
Tells them what he has to say
Sometimes he smiles for no reason
Watching the clouds drift away

Ive been searching the forest
Exploring deep in the caves
Counting the stars as it darkens
Riding the crests of the waves
And Ive been doing some dreaming
Thoughts drifting so far away
I never dreamed of the beauty
Here before me today


And the wind blows on my back, like a gentle unseen hand
From the branches hidden eyes are watching as I go
And the rain falls from the sky, and the valley comes alive
With music, with a heartbeat ALIVE



Look at the beautiful sunrise
He cries though no one is there
Standing over the treetops
High on this green earth somewhere
Sometimes he talks to the mountains
And he tells them what he has to say
Sometimes he smiles for no reason
Watching the clouds drift away

Sometimes he smiles for no reason
Watching the clouds drift away
 
Great job Muddy. I am glad I happened to see this thread. I love the harmonica and piano backdrop, great lyrics too.

Are you a Dylan or Neil Young fan? I would love a Band cover at some point, I just finished a book on the Bands early days with ronnie hawkins in toronto.

Toronto seems to have always had a great music scene, Rush, Jeff healey to Joni Mitchell in the coffeehouses. Do you ever play live in Canada?

Great job!
 
Immediately thought of John Denver. Just the imagery more than anything.

Makes me wanna pick up the guitar.
 
Muddy that was awesome! You are pretty good at that and brightened my day!
 
Muddy

This upbeat happy shit has to stop. We need our dark cynical lives.......

Other than that nice tune.
 
As usual GREAT JOB Mudder's.
Does this mean you won't be doing trippin. slippin' dippin' yo?
 
Very very nice muddy

I like the combo with the harmonica

Probably my favorite of the ones you've posted

Positive points for the orange shorts too :up:
 
Yeah I figured you'd like them shorts.



Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

I'll be damned. I don't listen to John Denver or even particularly think about John Denver but now that you mention it, there is no doubt that is true.

What am I doing being John Denverish all of a sudden?

Who knows?

Thank you.

I am a Neil Young and Dylan fan no doubt. Also the Band. I'm sure I could cover The Weight and a few other Band tunes - although it would be nice to have someone singing harmony. The finished version of this song of mine here will have two part vocal harmony basically throughout.

I don't play live anywhere, no.
 
Muddy I would like us to play live back to back acoustic sets one day

I would open, of course

Matty could do some instrumental guitar stuff as well

Muddy, have you been listening to the Eagles lately?

Excellent song. I just think you are the cats meow.
 
This made me want to smoke a joint and go hiking.

Nice, Muddy :up:
