Originally by Sheffield fellow Richard Hawley; as heard on his 'Lady's Bridge' album. Great song by him, sorry I´m taking it not 'too serious'. :) His version is miles ahead better.

木匠兄妹 - Well, here we have another Bacharach classic. Richard Chamberlain recorded the original version back in 1963. Even Dionne Warwick did her best in 1964, but it took six years more until The Carpenters hit the big time: Four weeks at Nr. 1 ! R.I.P. Karen...")

My cover of a once well known song by The Searchers, another great Mersey-beat band from Liverpool. It went on top of the singles charts in Britain during May 1964 to stay there for two weeks.")

Hi. I gave it a try on my acoustic. Dont expect too much, Im using rather easy chords which works out ok but is not very exact to the original.")

A version of the opening track from my favorite McCartney/Wings record. Explore the sky; while... Venus and Mars are alright tonight!
I dedicate this version to my former teacher of Astronomy Dieter Hertlein, who woke my passion for planets, stars and natural science in general. Greetings to Pankow, East Berlin.")
![Where The Four Winds Blow [Cliff Richard - acoustic cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vZndZWgrgG8/mqdefault.jpg "Where The Four Winds Blow [Cliff Richard - acoustic cover]
クリフ・リチャード
A song from his EP Why don´t they understand, mostly known for his smash-ballad The 12th of Never
Believe it or not, Cliff was first a 50s RocknRoller; then one of the greatest crooners in the 60s. During the 70s and 80s he lost his way but had still some bright moments. Nowadays his records are simply horrible. He should go back to his roots and get himself a proper producer!!!
P.S. Many thanks to the Roots-show on Radioeins (Berlin) and Wolfgang Doebeling for playing still his [better] records!
Here are the Lyrics, my kindly regards to Switzerland ;)
Where does a tear go, after it is fallen,
Where do the sweet dreams go?
Where does a love go after it is over?
They go where the four winds blow.
And where do the words go, after they´ve been spoken,
Words like I love you so?
Where does a vow go, after its been broken?
They go where the four winds blow.
I was the one who cried the tear,
You were the one who broke the vow.
And you were the one to disappear...
Where do I go now?
Where will I wonder now that we are parted,
Where does a lost soul go?
Weary and lonely; so broken hearted,
Ill go where the four winds blow.
I was the one who cried the tear,
And you were the one who broke the vow.
Yes, you were the one to disappear...
Where do I go now ?
Where will I wonder now that we are parted,
Where does a lost soul go?
Weary and lonely so broken hearted,
Ill go where the four winds blow.
Ill go where the four winds blow.
Ill go -
Where the four winds blow.

Since I was too clumsy finding the correct guitar chords for Roustabout I just took an raw freeware-instrumental version; added some tonewoods plus shakers and did all the singing. I layed over the vinyl effect out of sheer fun, guess it sounds more interesting... Long live the King :)")
![Gently [Elvis Presley - acoustic cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vsTvdeaEk0U/mqdefault.jpg "Gently [Elvis Presley - acoustic cover]
Gently recorded Elvis in March 1961, even some of his lesser known songs are so brilliant. For lyrics scroll down. RocknRoll !!!
Gently
Gently your eyes met mine,
Tender, trusting, true.
Gently your hand took mine,
Thrilled me through and through.
Gently, oh so gently,
Gentle as the dawn.
Gently, oh so gently,
Our true love was born.
Gently your lips kissed mine,
As we strolled along.
Gently your heart touched mine,
Young and warm and strong.
Gently, oh so gently,
Gentle as the dawn.
Gently, oh so gently,
Our true love was born.
Gently the hour is near,
When true loves have to part.
Gently well meet again,
One more kiss, sweetheart.
Gently, oh so gently,
Gentle as the dawn.
Gently, oh so gently,
Our true love was born.
Our true love was born.
Our true love was born.")
![Medgar Evers Lullaby [Judy Collins - acoustic cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w1ealqh8oz8/mqdefault.jpg "Medgar Evers Lullaby [Judy Collins - acoustic cover]
This song has always been my favorite from The Judy Collins Concert, even long before I understood the English lyrics and the stirring background. In memory of NAACP activist Medgar Evers, cowardly assassinated 1963 in Mississippi for no reason except being black.
Bye, bye, my baby, Ill rock you to sleep,
Sing you a sad song, it might make you weep.
Your daddy is dead, and hell never come back,
And the reason they killed him because he was black.
Ill tell you a story that you ought to know,
It happened in our town a short while ago.
Your daddy was walking alone for some air,
And a man in the bushes was waiting right there.
That man shot your daddy and laughed while he died.
Your daddy lay dying with tears in his eyes.
He cried for the things that a man leaves undone,
And he cried for the dreams that he had for his son.
What will you do, son, when you are a man?
Will you learn to live lonely and hate all you can?
Will you try to be happy and try not to see
That all men are slaves till their brothers are free?
Bye, bye, my baby, Ill rock you to sleep,
Sing you a sad song, it might make you weep.
Your daddy is dead, and hell never come back,
And the reason they killed him because he was black.")

An acoustic version of Just Like The Rain. Very amateurish by me indeed, I know, I know... But what a great song by Richard Hawley.")
