The Death Of Rock N Roll (remake) (Patreon)
Content
Hey folks,
This is a remake (& slight re-write) of an old song from my pre-Miracle Of Sound days. It's all about my wish for great rock music to regain the same universal appeal it used to have.
I hope ye like it :) I don't usually charge for remakes but I was thinking of making a proper live action video for this one which could be quite costly. Would that be an acceptable reason to charge for this one when it's done, in your view?
The Death Of Rock N Roll
Come on down to the city at night
And see how the people cry
Wish away the time
To the rhythm and rhyme
Of a lifeless lullaby
And everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
Swimmin’ to the lands
Of the shimmerin’ sands
And we drowned just off the shore
All these voices sound the same
All that changes is the name
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll
Cast your broken shackles away
And sing like you mean it
Sing like your feeling something
Passing the hours
In the glittering towers
As the valves begin to shred
Toppling down
On top of this town
They scatter on a sea of red
And everybody needs a detour
To get off the same old road
Take a look around
Turn your radio down
It’s there in the lines of code
All these voices blend to one
Add the minus, come to none
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll
Cast your broken shackles away
And sing like you mean it
Sing like your feeling something
Everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again
Everybody wants for more
All these voices sound the same
All that changes is the name
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll
Cast your broken shackles away
And sing like you mean it
Sing like your feeling something
Everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again
Everybody wants for more
