Ha  - Good one Peatle

I hope it wasn't my last post where I wrote - " another sad song" that triggered your thinking smile

You always have such keen insights !

On a side note - I'm glad its winter there and not here!  It was sunny and 84 here today - beautiful day in the great northeast

Just another sad song   smile



Rain of Mercy By Jim Kenyon


Verse1


.




[G]If I close my eyes, I can [C]still [D]hear her[G] voice


and her laughter that [C]always [D] makes me [G]smile


but if I close my eyes I [C]might[D] miss the [G] sunrise


and the hope that she’ll be [D] back in a [C] little [G]while


.




Chorus


Yeah I’m [C] hoping for a [D]rain of [G] mercy


to [C]wash these cruel [D]memories [G]away


I [C]tremble just [D]thinking of to[G]morrow


as I[D] pray for one more [C] yester[G]day.




Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy


to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know


you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows


with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go




.


Verse 2






.



[G] If I close my eyes, I[C] still [D]feel her [G] touch


and her soft kiss that [C] always [D]felt so [G] good


but if I close my eyes I [C] might [D] miss that [G] sunrise


oh , I'd love to have her [D]back if , [C] only I [G]could




.






Chorus


Yeah I’m [C] hoping for a [D]rain of [G] mercy


to [C]wash these cruel [D]memories [G]away


I [C]tremble just [D]thinking of to[G]morrow


as I[D] pray for one more [C] yester[G]day.




Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy


to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know


you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows


with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go




Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy


to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know


you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows


with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go


no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go


no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go

AHHHHH CG  _ Van The MAN !!!!!!!

One of my longtime favorites.  All of these are GREAT songs.  Two that need to be added to the  to the list - Natalia and Moondance (which in my opinion is one of the greatest performances in romantic music.

She has a very close resemblance to   Janis Joplin !

Excellent vocals - lots of passion.  Her voice in Wild and Free ( which ironically,  was my favorite on the list)  was so much different than all the others.

A very good way to start off the weekend.

Thanks CG  !
Have a great weekend!

Roger,

I have an ipad - I never knew that - what's it called so I can download it ?
also - I googled Almancil, Algarve, Portugal where you live - what a beautiful place to live !
You are fortunate to live in such an apparent paradise.
How did you come to reside there ?

Good luck on your search for the android

Jim

Thank you all - I am waiting for the announcement that has been kept secret tht when you reach 68 birthdays start to reverse the aging process.    Maybe it's a side-effect of covid 19 !

Wow   This is sadnews - but an entire education for me.  I always thought John McVey (+ wife)  and Mick Fleetwood were the founders of the band and Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined them.  I guess I missed the whole first part !!

Peatle - that is phenomenally cool that you had those personal experiences!
I read Peter's bio this am - quite interesting.  Lots of peaks and valleys.

Thanks Phill for the info, albeit, sad sad

Beamer

Sounds nice!  I thought it sounded like a face paced Western soundtrack where the Good Guys and Bad guys were about to face off over something. It definitely has that " on the edge of suspense feeling"   for me.    I am looking forward to what you come up with for lyrics - although it actually needs none in MHO.  Well done and cool guitar !

Jim

P.S. 

The dogs still crack me up !  smile

Good stuff CG

"Too old to die young" and "Country comes to town" were the best ones for me.
I liked the resonator guitar and of course the muscle car in the video. smile

There's some good stuff coming out of the bayou - and you seem to be able to find them !! smile

Thanks CG for your efforts.

I don't know how you do it - another fantastic find. I really loved these songs.
Talk about bringing music from where you live - she is so into every song.

I really loved the Gypsy song... set up on the back porch -  the electric multi-plug hanging, the box guitar with the license plate - etc....  :)It was fun to just look at the place while listening to her perform.
She really is n excellent talent.  I'm still trying to figure out how sghe got from Belgium to the Bayou and Mississippi ??? smile

Her smile is contagious - and her guitar playing is exceptional.

Thanks again for a great start to the weekend.  Superb find!

Fantastic storyline - very well written.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful observation
