I have long been an admirer of the feeling and emotion Rightly puts into his unconventional songs and I'm always moved by the depths of his lyrics. It was,therefore,with some trepidation mixed with excitement,that and with his permission,I recorded a version of his song,'All the Best People Have Gone Home'.
I thought to approach the song retaining the raw,stripped back aspect and attempting to make it as angsty and emotive as I could.
I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I did working on it.
As usual I include the original song,then my cover.

all the best
people have gone home
when I go
I'll not return, I know
well I guess, I'm the next, the here-after-show
all the best people have gone home
a change of
scenery doesn't hurt
it's all about
perspective makes things work (work it out)
like a jealous wind, where am I to begin?
a change of scenery wouldn't hurt
I've made mistakes, one made me think twice
should I die today will tomorrow be alright?
all the best people have gone home
there's no need
to enter like a thief
show me your
hunger, show me your greed
take some more, take anything you want from me
there's no need for you to enter like a thief
I've made mistakes, one made me think twice
if I die today will tomorrow be alright?
It's a quiet place, in death as in life
would it be okay, if I turn off the lights?
all the best people have gone home
