bemuzic busking in Bury! - Black Crow

This was my first time busking in Bury St Edmunds, and the first time I'd played this new song.
I recorded a djembe loop at home beforehand to save carrying the djembe!!
Lyrics:

Black Crow

There's a black crow in the branches
looking down at me.
They say that it's a bad sign.
Don't know what it means,

and the sun goes behind,
behind a cloud.

Chalk lines on the pavement
wake me from my dreams.
Soon they'll be forgotten.
Washed away by rain,

and the sun and the rain,
weave colours in the sky.

A clock is ticking loudly,
filling up my head.
No one ever winds it,
but it isn't going to stop,

and the earth moves around,
around the sun.

There's a black crow in the branches
looking down at me.
They say that it's a bad sign.
Don't know what it means,

and the sun comes out,
from behind a cloud.

Maybe don'tgo busking in Bury, try "Buryinng in busk". Don't make much sense, ah know. But looks "clever", that will do m!. Anyhoooo, ah'm clappin ya HERE, nice one, fair lass of Richmond Hill (but think that may be in Richmond, so not very a propos!)

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on March 15, 2012 at 8:55pm: Very brave move using the loop in a live situation Be - which is exactly what i am planning to do next week! only way to fit in a solo over one of my songs, a little nervous about it but the only way it seems...(-:

like your song ..! Djembe suits it perfectly

Comment by eK on March 15, 2012 at 6:26pm: Your music and performances were always good. But now the recording quality is also at the point where it does you proper justice. And Don is right. It grows on you with repeated listening. Great job! Thx for posting that.

Comment by Don McCann on March 15, 2012 at 6:09pm: Did you write this song?? The more I listen to it the more I like it.You really are quite good at this. Rather gifted I'd say.

Comment by Don McCann on March 15, 2012 at 5:26pm: Great job, sounds really good. Keep up the good work.
