I've had a crappy cold

I've been croaky all week and I'm just about over it so I wanted to pick something gentle to sing. You may have noticed the last couple of entries have been layered videos - I've been experimenting some more and thought this song would be perfect to test it out with 4 layers.

For me this was one of those songs you just cant turn off - I must have listened to it 20 times in a row. Hopefully it does the same for you!

Lyrics

Swing low, swing low
For to carry me home
In fire the skies of red
My breath's gone cold
A kiss from the coal
A blanket of snow overhead

Slow, holy roller
It's just rock and roll
Hold your tears
Where they've hung all these years
Down from the heavens above

Old snake eyes
You had better disguise
All that appears of thee
Pray for love
From the heavens above

Laid in the ashes below
Laid in the ashes below
Laid in the ashes below
Laid in the ashes below

Thanks for listening!

    This was a cold performance from a man with a cold in a cold world. Nice job, here is my review this week. https://steemit.com/openmic/@verbal-d/steemit-s-official-open-mic-judge-verbal-d-s-top-5-entries-for-week-52-original-blog

    Really beautiful tune man!

    Unexpected, however much appreciated.
    This song has such a warm texture and the harmonies we're really attractive. Kept me listening.

    Lyrics were very cool too, Very symbolic and in line with the instrumental vibe.

    Really great to hear this and see it from 4 angles ;)

    Thanks @steembirds, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love openmic here because it's not all about playing 'the hits' I just wish I'd written it myself!
