I have decided that I am going to cover this song. Flint has agreed that he will Learn how to play the piano parts and basically create a whole new backingtrack. I’m not sure how I will make it through it without crying but Flint says that’s what makes a good song, the emotions that come from singing it. Having thought about what he said, I agree but I have never been one to show my emotions to the public. I got really teary eyed whilst singing The Rose and it showed in the recording but that was due to the things floating around in my head at the time. I had sang it just days after Jim past away and it was he who it was recorded for. He had always told me I should do something with my singing and I never did till after he died. I wish I had recorded before but I never did. Jim always told me I had the voice of an angel when I sang, I don’t think I’m that grate but others like it so this is why I continue to sing. I love seeing others happy. Not only that but I must admit that singing for me is very therapudic. There are those who get annoyed when they hear a recording of me singing and it makes me think that I shouldn’t sing. It just reinforces what I feel about myself, that I am not that good and maybe I should not do so for anyone, just in private. Then there are those who ask me for more so I don’t exactly know what I should do at times. So, I keep singing in the hopes that someone is enjoying it and that I am making people happy.
Now that i have kind of gone off course, I’m posting the lyrics to this song in dedication to Jim. Yes, I know he’s been gone for almost ten years but I still miss him very very much. This song was originally done by The Offspring I do believe and I have to say I do so love Noctura’s version much better. Thank you to my good friend Gina for introducing me to this band.
Gone Away
By: Noctura
maybe in another life
i could find you there
pulled away before your time
I can’t deal it’s so unfair
and it feels
and it feels like
heaven’s so far away
and it feels
and it feels like
the world has grown cold
now that you’ve gone away
leaving flowers on your grave
to show that i still care
but black roses and hail marys
can’t bring back what’s taken from me
i reach to the sky
and call out your name
and if i could trade
I would
and it feels
and it feels like
heaven’s so far away
and it feels
and it feels like
the world has grown cold
now that you’ve gone away
i’ll save your soul
and it feels
and it feels like
heaven’s so far away
and it feels
and it feels like
the world has grown cold
now that you’ve gone away
Thanks for reading and i’ll see you next entry.
