Cheers, KrisWaiting For My Real Life To Begin (Colin Hay Cover) by Kris ShredKris Shred2012-08-25 | Hi folks! And another cover song! :-) Today I listened to this great song and thought 'Man, that's oh so me' ;-) I listened out the chords and quickly practiced it two times. This video shows the 3rd time me playing it. Therefore it's not perfect (singing/intonation-wise), but I really was surprised I did it without making any serious mistakes, guitar-wise/chords. :)
This time I decided to -not- add any further instruments, as I usually do. In the aftermath I think a bass guitar track maybe would've been nice. What d'you think?
In the end (the last 20 seconds! :S ) my cam went off (again :S ), so I added some video material from the beginning. Anyway ~ I hope you like it :)
Cheers, Kris

Helplessly Hoping.. CSN (1969)
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby, awaiting a word. Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs, wishing he could fly, only to trip at the sound of good-bye...
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries, did he hear a goodbye or even... hello...
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together, they are four... each other
Stand by the stairway, you'll see something certain to tell, confusion has its cost. Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lo-st and choking... on hello
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together, they are four... each otherBeautiful One (Agua de Annique Cover) by Kris ShredKris Shred2012-01-13 | You can download my cover songs at my website: http://www.krisshred.square7.ch

The wind entwines our hair Our words get swept through the air I wish I never left
Your face shines in my eyes Our last look before our goodbye I wish I never left
Beautiful one You shine like the sun I wish I never left Before I have said You are the one, you are the one
Your sun will come and go But its beauty will keep its glow I wish your rays would shine over me Keep filling me with your beauty I wish I never left (2x)I Thought By Now (VAST Cover) by Kris ShredKris Shred2010-12-05 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5RtIdpNnn8&fmt=18

Carol's made a brilliant acoustic cover of this song, in my opinion. It inspired me to play the bass guitar along with her (video).
So, in the end, I took Carol's version and added some instruments: * bass guitar * bongo * cymbal * tambourine * and shaker eggs (not in the video)

Hey folks! It's been a long time. I've been very busy jobbing and all that stuff... Anyway - finally here's a new video! The song's called 'Maggie', the original tune was written by Colin Hay (check him out, if you like)
My computer crashed several times when I tried to run the mixdown of all the videos into one multi-video, so at 5 am my nerves were on edge ;)
___________________________ When I first set eyes on you First you beat me up, then you kissed me too We'd throw stones into the sea There were no others then, just you and me Across the bridge and down the lane I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same
Oh Maggie, what have you done I should have seen it coming, to your side I'd run Oh Maggie, come to me tonight I will wait up for you, make sure you're alright I miss you
You taught me how to sink or swim When I was scared that day, you just pushed me in And when nobody was around You let me kiss you then, there the love I found I said I'd never let you go You just smiled at me - how was I to know?
Oh, Maggie, what am I to do? How I can live with only memories of you? Oh, Maggie, tell me the truth When your ship was sinking, did you think it through? I miss you
You were the fountain of my youth And when I fumbled, you showed me what to do And when we were both seventeen You left me standing there, but you were never mean
And when I saw you out with him He looked much older, and you looked very thin I hadn't heard from you in years Then your mama called, she couldn't speak for tears She said, you left me a note Inside my pocket burns, with these words you wrote
Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me I am forever yours, now that I am free We'll be together, throw stones into the sea There'll be no others there, just you and me I miss you - Maggie's gone
I think you came the other night You stroked my brow, your eyes were full of light May have only been a dream But I would walk with you, to places I never have been Maggie's gone - (Maggie's gone) .Leaving On A Jetplane (Cover) by AnnaConda1984 & KrisShredKris Shred2009-07-23 | Hi guys,
here AnnaConda1984 and I present you a collaboration recorded in June 2009.
_______________________
Leaving On A Jet Plane
(John Denver / Peter Paul & Mary)
1) All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
2) But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
C) So kiss me and smile for me;
tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
- 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go....
3) There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
4) Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
(Chorus)
5) Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
6) Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
here we present you our brand new cover song. We recorded and created the song in 2 days.

I don't know you but I want you All the more for that Words fall through me n' always fool me And I can't react
Games that never amount to more than they're meant Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You'll make it now (You've made it now)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself It's time that you won
-CHORUS-
(instrumental): Am G F G Am G F 1, 2, 3, 4....
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly, sing your me-lo -dy I'll sing it loud
Title: Funnyman Original by KT Tunstall Covered by Lisa on Djembe drum & Kris Shred Style: Upbeat Version
____________________________
Locked inside your head Do you realize the things you said, never made sense?
We can sit here and laugh But we don't know the half of it, in your defense
We've been talking a while And it seems to me each time you smile, lights are coming on But they don't burn too strong And they won't stay for long, ..and then they're gone again
Funnyman, got a plan to be something wonderful Funnyman, listening to the world turnin' on itself Turn it in.. to a brand new universe Funnyman could never be anything else.
Do you remember that night When I had to play your angel, saving your soul? Even though you were holding on tight A part of you was taken by the demons below
Oh when there's no one to lose, u said you feel like a bruise, on a beautiful body And all the damage you do, ..is so honest and true, I don't want to feel sorry for you
Funnyman, got a plan to be something wonderful Funnyman, listening to the world turning on itself Turn it in.. to a brand new universe Funnyman could never be anything else

IN YOUR LIFE
Maybe you feel lost again - you told me And you weren't able to love - right now And you seem broken to me - unhappy with what you do And unsure of what you want - to happen for you In Your Life (2x)
But so you know it's alright - cause this is life it's alright I don't know what happened to you - and it may be that you can't tell, for finding words Ain't as easy as you'd wish [one would wish]
Sometimes when one starts Thinking about one's life (2x)
All the stars are shining for you - lightening up your way Even if you're blind they'll guide - you through the night The darkness fades away - and don't you worry, babe Yeah you'll see that one day - the sun shines again In Your Life (4x)

______________ Waiting on the telephone, I can't leave the room Maybe you'll call me, when I'm through the door All these hopeless hours, staring at the wall I can't move my body, I can't speak
The sky is dark and noisy, voices in my head They tell me that I'm free again No more chains, I'm free again
Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore
I look into the mirror, a stranger's watching me Trembling lips, a cold shining in his eyes The cage of my broken body, only one way to escape A screaming nightmare, I dream in red
The sky is dark and noisy, voices in my head They tell me that I'm free again No more chains, I'm free again
Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore
I see your laughing face in the crowd, now it's time to sleep I see fear and loathing in your eyes - why don't you touch me, babe? This is the end Come! and feel the cold knife in my hand
Laughing face in the crowd, now it's time to sleep I see fear and loathing in your eyes - why don't you touch me, babe? This is the end - come and feel the cold knife in my hand
The sky is dark and noisy, voices in my head They tell me that I'm free again No more chains - I'm free again
Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore Hey, hey, hey - I don't love you anymore
.Making of SAVE ME by Tom Sage and Kris ShredKris Shred2009-02-15 | This is the Making Of
of our videoclip to our song
'Save Me'
by Tom Sage and Kris Shred
Here's a song by a friend of mine and me. Tom lives in the north of Germany (Bremen) and he visited me (living in the south, Heidelberg) for 3 days. Our intention was to boost our creative musical outlet. We had a good time and I'm glad our activities resulted in very good teamwork :)
ABOUT THE SONG
Initially, Tom wrote the song (lyrics and composition). He had a different version, previously.
Now, we re-structured the composition. Kris composed the new bridge part as well as the slightly altered chorus, and added the harmony vocals.
We recorded the audio in one evening and the visuals the day after (3rd and 4th January 2oo9)
Please comment, rate or subscribe if you like what you see/hear. Cheers! :-)

I Don't Have Anything - VAST (Jon Crosby)
I stood on mountain tops That overlooked the world I can't find anything Except a void inside I went to places where I could forget your name I can't find anything Except a void inside
I don't have anything Because I don't have you I don't have anything
What can I buy to make The sky turn blue again Where can I go to feel Like I'm alive again Show me the places where I can forget your name I can't find anything Except a void inside
I don't have anything Because I don't have you I don't have anything
I've been stripped of everything Except some flesh that bleeds And I've been robbed of everything Except a soul, except a soul that needs
You, sweet you
I don't have anything Because I don't have you I don't have anything
.Rain (Patty Griffin Cover) by Kim and KrisKris Shred2008-03-31 | Kim (from Taiwan) studies in Münster/Germany at the moment. She visited me a second time in Heidelberg (southern Germany) and we recorded this one here. Again we didn't have much time to practice the song. I hope you like it anyway ;o)
[1] It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart Beating close to mine Pounding up against the stone and steel Walls that I won't climb
[2] Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep You think that you're gonna drown Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep With - all this rain - fallin' down
[CHORUS] Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds But I'm holdin' o-n underneath this shroud Rai-rayeay-ain
[3] It's hard to know when to give up the fight Some things you wa-nt will just never be right It's never rained like it has tonight be-fore
[4] Now I don't wanna beg you babeee for.. Somethin' maybe you could never give I'm not lookin for the rest of your life I just, want ano-ther chance to live
[CHORUS] Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds But I'm holdin o-n underneath this shroud Rai-rayeay-ain
instrumental: Dsus4 D (4x) Bm A G D (2x)
[CHORUS] Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds But I'm holdin o-n underneath this shroud Rai-rayeay-ain
[CHORUS] Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds But I'm still alive underneath this shroud Rai-rayeay-ain Oh rai-rayeay-ain Oh r a y e a y a i n

If you like what you see and HEAR, feel free to comment/ rate/ subscribe ^^
You say that you love me - I have nothing to fear That you are always with me - even when you're not near You say I lift you up - and make you soar You say that I'm the one - that you've been waiting for
You built me up - and then your tore me down You made me high - swept me clear off the ground
CHORUS: I'm broken, I'm broken - - Can I ever be whole You ripped out, my heart - - threw away my soul
False promises false hopes - lies and pipe dreams You made me see everything's - not as it seems I trusted and I loved you - with all that I ever had You burned me and deceived me - left nothing at all
I cried tears of pain - I nearly went mad Together I flew - apart I crawled
CHORUS: I'm broken, I'm broken - - Can I ever be whole You ripped out, my heart - - threw away my soul
I'm broken, not beaten - - I know I will love again I'm broken, not beaten - - I know this love is not the end

.Runyararo (Leesha Harvey [YT] Cover) by Kris ShredKris Shred2007-11-06 | I recorded this video in the middle of the night, that is why I looked quite tired ;)
And I really do not have much practice playing piano, so I was vexed so much the more.. :P
.My Heart (Ks Choice Cover) by Kim013523 & Kris ShredKris Shred2007-10-29 | Kim (from Taiwan) studies in Münster/Germany at the moment. She visited me in Heidelberg (southern Germany) and we had only 1 evening to do some music. This is what we recorded.

Not so long ago we both felt love became a word No more than that with sex that felt like wings without a bird
The only thing that we both love Is in the cradle that we rock Six hands, six feet, but just one beat The ticking of the clock
I always heard I could get hurt I knew that from the start Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck But please don't break my heart Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck But please don't break my heart
Solid wood will rot, if you don't keep it from the rain We were surprised when we found out That love feels just like pain
I always heard I could get hurt I knew that from the start Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck But please don't break my heart Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck But please don't break my heartKRIS SHRED - To Sarah (Original 2007)Kris Shred2007-10-16 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I46P12 ____________ Created this song today (2007-10-16) from 06:51 till 08:07 pm. Afterwards I played it 2 or 3 times, then recorded this video.
A guy called Frederico asked me some days ago to write a song for his beloved one. Then I said if he'd write me some lyrics I'd add music to it. So here we are ;)
Note: Don't forget, the song is totally fresh and still has to be developed further on..
Enjoy! Cheers, Kris
"To Sarah"
i'm tired of the battle for you but what can i do if i still love you so much...
A silent tear i cry every night because of the fear i have to lose you forever more..
Looking to you, Sarah, I see trough your eyes and find beauty... And think, what i will do if you, tell me that you don't love me.... at all (2x)
Of all the women in this world i've choosen you, Sarah, because i really love you... (3x)
From the moment i've seen you i could tell that you're the girl i want... Your beautiful smile makes anyone happy anywhere you're passing by...
But i look in the way that i want to love you for the rest of my life ..
So stop with stupid things and sentiments that don't exist and make the final judgment to make my heart easy like a sunshine day or make my heart sad and black - like a rainy night And this song ends in minor ;)
This is a demo version. I'm planning to record it in with added piano and further instruments somewhen..
All my vidz on YouTube have been recorded with my photo digi-cam. It records only about 6 minutes. Thus the seagulls video at the end ;-)

Lyrics:
[V1] Now I am gone - ... See what we had - it's over and done Looking back at us - no pain no more Looking back at us - it's over and done
[CHORUS1] Ohhhh, ahhhhh Iiii aaam gone - silently gone I am gone - seeeee I am gone - with all that we had
[V2] Seeing no one else - who could replace you I'm standing here alone - seeing no one else I'm standing here alone - seeing no one else I'm standing on my own - finding just myself
[C PART1] We were the sun Blazing through the world In our dreams, so wild and free
[CHORUS2] Ohhhh, ahhhhh You are gone - suddenly gone You are gone - seeeee You are gone - with all that we had
[C PART2] We've come undone Crashing is the dawn And all our dreams are breaking Apart
[CHORUS3] Ohhhh, ahhhhh We are done - silently gone We have gone - seee Our love has withered - in the sun
.KRIS SHRED - You Took You Away (Original 2007)Kris Shred2007-09-18 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I46P12 ______________ Here my new original song 'Took You Away' a.k.a. 'Never Wanted To Say Goodbye' Ver.2
This time I added complete tracks of - bass (played on my synthesizer) - drums (played on my synthesizer and post-programmed) - piano (played on my synthesizer) - 2 guitars (one left, one right) - and finally -as always, LIVE for YT- the vocals and 3rd rhythm guitar (what you see in the video) __________
YOU TOOK YOU AWAY - lyrics
[1a] I never wanted to say goodbye - but you gave me no choice Always held my feelings inside - Can you hear my voice?
[1b] Lived in a circle of confusion - Always asked myself why So many unanswered questions - To the pain hidden inside
[CHORUS] With all this talk of tomorrow I always thought, - always thought that you would stay Never needed anyone like you like you - Like you... TILL YOU TOOK YOU AWAY Till you took you away
[2a] Left alone with the memories - Taking the place of you inside I feel but I can't speak - Never wanted to say goodbye
[2b] Now I am going on my own - Because I can't give in I must figure it out alone - ...and learn to live again
[CHORUS] With all this talk of tomorrow I always thought, - always thought that you would stay Never needed anyone like you like you - Like you... TILL YOU TOOK YOU AWAY Till you took you away Till you took you away Till you took you away
[BRIDGE] No more talk of tomorrow - I must live today I have released all my sorrow - I will find my way I will find my way I will fi_____nd
[E] I never wanted To say Goodbye - Goodbye (repeat several times)
.Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot Cover) by Kris ShredKris Shred2007-09-08 | I've loved the music of Peter Paul and Mary ever since I heard them. So here's my rendition. The song was originally written by Gordon Lightfoot. I made a percussion MIDI track to accompany the song and also added a bassline (played with my guitar).
Enjoy! ______________________
In the Early Morning Rain
In the early mornin' rain, with a dollar in my hand, And an achin' in my heart, and my pocket's full of sand. I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so, In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go.
Out on runway number nine, big 7 o 7 set to go. But I'm out here on the grass, where the pavement never grows. Well the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast. There she goes my friend, she's rollin' down at last.
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high. She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she flies. Where the mornin' rain don't fall, and the sun always shines. She'll be flyin' o'er my home, in about three hours time.
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me. Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be. Can't jump a jet plane, like I can a freight train. So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain. So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain.
.You Are My Sunshine (Cover) by Blanca and KrisKris Shred2007-08-27 | Not perfect, but we had fun ;-)
It was 4 AM in the middle of the night and we already had sung a lot before ^^ :-)
Blanca is a friend of mine I got to know recently. Unfortunately she's going to live in Madrid/Spain for 1 year. In a few days she'll leave Germany. ______________________
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE (My ONLY Sunshine)
Written by former Louisiana State Governor Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell. ___________________
You Are My Sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear, As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried.
You Are My Sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you And make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me To love another You'll regret it all some day;
You Are My Sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear You really loved me And no one else could come between But now you've left me And love another You have shattered all my dreams;
You Are My Sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
Empty hands on the corner - Hollow faces at my door Crying eyes on my shoulder - Always begging me for more
Plastered smile in the pulpit - Cheerful voice in the crowd Broken heart in the quiet - A whisper crying out loud
It's not clear - what the hell I'm doing here I thought that I knew once, now I'm not sure I can only guess, why I'm walking through this wilderness And if I'll have the patience to endure
Are they taking me for granted - Are my words misunderstood Can they see through my tired eyes - Sometimes I wish they could
It's not clear - what the hell I'm doing here I thought that I knew once, now I'm not sure I can only guess, why I'm walking through this wilderness And if I'll have the patience to endure
Are you trying to tell me something - ..Or did I hear you wrong ..Is all of this for nothing - Have I been mistaken all along
It's not clear - what on EARTH I'm doing here I thought that I knew once, now I'm not sure I can only guess, why I'm walking through this wilderness And if I'll have the patience to endure
Actually I didn't want to post a song this time, cuz I already participated in the previous contest. However my friend 'Frankliso'(YT) kindly encouraged me to do so ^^ I wrote the music 2 hours ago.
Usually I record at least 1 version of a new song, sleep 1 night over it and the next day complete and polish the structure. However in this case, right after I had finished the song structure I recorded this video as version1 of NWTSG.
My new original song (2007-07-31). This time in German language. For the English translation please scroll down :) ___________________ Just wrote it some hours ago. This video is take two.
"Alle meine Noten bringen mich nicht aus den Nöten, und ich schreibe Noten überhaupt nur aus Nöten." (Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827)
Em Am D Em Der Tag wirft seinen schweren Schatten Die Welt versinkt in düstrem Traum Ich denk an alles, was wir hatten Ich schaudere, doch merk ich's kaum
Em Am D Em Wir ham zwar vieles Schönes gesehn Jedoch weiß ich, dass ich nie glücklich war Diese Zeiten, die mussten vergehn Trotz Wehmut ist mir das nun klar
G D Bm C Was ich gesucht, hab ich nicht gefunden Drum mach ich mich auf, zu neuem Glück Nicht mehr wie damals an Dich gebunden Und geh' auch niemals zu Dir zurück
Em Am D Em Der vor'ge Tag erschuf dunkelste Nacht Die Sonne, einst ein falscher Freund Aus düstrem Traume die Welt erwacht Ein Blick hinaus und Licht erscheint
Em Am D Em Hab mich verändert, bin neu inspiriert Bestreite einen unbekannten Weg Bin nicht wie andre vom Fallen pikiert Verlasse den wohlgeschaffnen Steg
G D Bm C Was ich gesucht, hab ich nicht gefunden Drum mach ich mich auf, zu neuem Glück Nicht mehr wie damals an Dich gebunden Und geh' auch niemals zu Dir zurück
Em Am D Em Ich stehe auf, befreit von der Last Und blicke mich um, ganz ohne Hast Das Leben, es strahlt, in schillerndem Glanz Ich ziehe los, zu neuem Tanz!
G D Bm C Was ich gesucht, hab ich nicht gefunden Drum mach ich mich auf, zu neuem Glück Nicht mehr wie damals an Dich gebunden Und geh' auch niemals zu Dir zurück
G D Bm C Was ich gesucht, hab ich nicht gefunden Drum mach ich mich auf, zu neuem Glück Nicht mehr wie damals an Dich gebunden Und geh' auch niemals zu Dir zurück
--------------
English translation:
New Ways
The day throws its heavy shade The world sinks in a dark dream I think of everything that we had I tremble, but hardly I notice it
We have experienced nice times However I know that I was never really happy The times, they had to pass by Despite wistfulness, now it's obvious to me
*Chorus* What I was heading for, I haven't found So I set off, to find a new chance Not like in those days, when I was bound to you And I'm never going back to you
The previous day created the darkest night The sun, once a false friend Out of dull dreams the world awakes One look beyond and there is light
I have changed, I am newly inspired I am taking on an unknown path Not like others (who are) disturbed by[afraid of] falling I leave the well-created bridge behind
(Chorus)
I stand up, relieved of the burden And look around, completely without haste Life is shining, in shimmering brilliance I head out, for a new dance!
In this recording I added a bassline, a darbuka drum and a 2nd voice in the chorus.
No drum computers or synthesizers were used, all 100% handmade music.
ABOUT THE SONG:
First I wrote the music about 1 week ago, then I added some lyrics by a friend of mine (not on YouTube). The chorus lyrics ('All I need is a home..') already existed by that time (I wrote them).
A few days later I felt the verse lyrics didn't fit to the melody - so I got me some lyrics by Aleisha Russell
http://www.youtube.com/aleishar and put them to the verse parts. Now it all fit well together. A new song was 'born' :)
Please rate and comment! ☼
And thanks for listening :)

LYRICS:
Someday I'll forget, the color of your eyes
Someday I'll regret, all of the lies
The sound of your voice, yeah, will be unfamiliar
And all our joys, we had, will be..., will be forgotten
Just listen...
All I need is a home - so I don't feel alone
I needed someone to surround me
It wasn't you, no it wasn't you
It wasn't you
(whistle solo)
Even your name, will go unrecalled
Someday I'll forget, that I loved you at all
The feelings I once had, will be gone like the wind
Maybe I'll shed a tear, but never know why
You know...
All I need is a home - so I don't feel alone
I needed someone to surround me
It wasn't you, no it wasn't you
It wasn't you.
Sorry 'bout the sound, don't know what happened, must be a problem with an audio codec on my computer. Anyways, enjoy! :)
And check out sisjewells originals ^^
I was alone in that crowded room I didn't know a single soul I was a new face in a strange place I wanted the floor to swallow me whole
Then I saw you there, standing in the spotlight, shining like the star you are, and you looked at me
Chorus: You took my hand and you placed me at your side Lifted me up and you've never left me behind I owe you so much, I'm forever in your debt Your kindness and love I will never forget
I took a chance on that fateful day I didn't know how you'd react But I opened up, shared more than enough I hoped you would leave my pride intact
And you took my words, never used them against me, even shared some of your own, and you gave so freely
Chorus:
You have filled a void, found a cozy place, in the comforts of my heart, and you've snuggled in

I wrote PITE in spring 2006. Together with 'Beating Of My Heart' this song is my favorite of my own songs so far. I wrote it to put my last relationship behind, and it really gave me mental strength, so to say. I could see the light again (the sun;) Love to sing and play it, therefore .. :-)

.Feuergarten, Jam @ Villa Nachttanz Heidelberg 2007Kris Shred2007-06-21 | I was in 'Villa Night-Dance' in Heidelberg yesterday and recorded this video.
Villa NachtTanz is a location where young people meet and make music together .. and party :)
I also played a bit rhythm guitar (dark video parts). But especially the two girls with their transverse flutes were great. I love that instrument :)
The video material in the end was almost black cuz the sun went sleeping ;) I tried to improve the contrast and lightness as well as I could.
G C G Am Em C Bm7
I hear the drizzle of the rain_ - like a memory it falls
G Bm G C Am Em D G
Soft and warm continuing_ - tapping on my roof and walls
G C G Am Em C Bm7
And from the shelter of my mind_ - through the window of my eyes
G Bm G C Am Em D C G
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets_ - to England where my heart lies
G C G Am Em C Bm7
My mind's distracted and diffused_ - my thoughts are many miles away
G Bm G C Am Em D G
They lie with you when you're asleep_ - and kiss you when you start your day
G C G Am Em C Bm7
And a song I was writing is left undone_ - I don't know why I spent the time
G Bm G C Am Em D G
Writing songs I can't believe_ - with words that tear and strain to rhyme
G C C G Am Em C Bm7
And so you see I've come to doubt_ - all that I once held as true
G Bm G C Am Em D G
I stand alone without beliefs_ - the only truth I know is you
G C G Am Em C Bm7
And as I watch the drops of rain - weave their weary paths and die
G Bm G C Am Em D G
I know that I am like the rain_ - there but for the grace of you go I

Chords: Am Em G -- Dm7 Em
[1] Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away
[2] Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gonna stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away
[3] And I know, I know, I know, I know ...
Hey I oughta leave the young thing alone! But ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away
