Hi all. Here is my latest effort.
Its a little sombre but you may like it.

All comments welcome. Rob

Six Feet In The Grave


They'll build me a prison with bars on the windows.
To keep me from loving you.

As I hang from the gallows the last breath inside me
will linger away on the breeze.

Deep down in a canyon with no warming sunshine.
With no one to tend to my needs.

If my life was longer I'd not be so sombre.
Please send me the key to be free.

Bridge

As I lay in the cold dirt there's no need for comfort.
No memories to ponder each day.

In time you'll forget me a long lost tragedy
As I lay six feet beneath clay

Deep down in a canyon with no warming sunshine.
With no one to tend to my needs.

If my life was longer I'd not be so sombre.
Please send me the key to be free.

As I lay six feet beneath clay x 3

That is one sad folk-country-western song. Love the 3/4 and the band. Your vocal is just great. Much enjoyed.

Hi Rob, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. The arrangement is wonderful to the ears and very soothing to hear. Good use of EFX on the guitar. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Great work!


Cheers,
Joe

A classic "gallows" song.

Well sung. Good BAND. Good mix.

Nicely done...
The printed lyrics threw me off a few times but was only a minor problem...
I enjoyed new song.

Rob,

I like the way you sing this - deep & dark like the lyrics. If there`a "gallows song" genre yours goes to the top!
Very good.

What a tune! Love the old school vibes on this, and your vocals and the lyricism behind them are heavy and heartfelt. Easy to sway to, and nicely catchy as well.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile

Really well assembled backing and a perfect chord progression for the terrific narrative.
Your voice sounds great.
Could've been a reflective Nick Cave.

Hi Rob,

A good song, and I like the doubles in the chorusses. I am still learning on that issue.
The subject is indeed a bit sombre, but what could you expect with a title like this...
But it also applies to a situation I'm in now. So I'm convinced you must have sensed that ;-).

Nice weekend,
Hans

A real beauty Robb. Marty Robbins would've been proud to sing this one as it's his style of song in my opinion. Great lyrics and lovely vocals too
