Je Suis Charlie (Dobrodaddy & Reg)

[thetworegs]

I wrote these lyrics in response to the tragedy that happened in Paris this week and i put them up in a response to a song by Geo's (Dobrodaddy) track in memory of slain innocence and Geo responded with voice and guitar, i added a backing vocal to the Chorus...Thank you Geo

Je suis Charlie
i draw whats on my mind
i'll say just what i please
the word gives us freedom
that is why we bleed
if your offended, do you really understand
are you looking at it properly
or are you another with a murder planned

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

you act with your violence
to silence the word
to strangle our right to freedom to be heard
that is just absurd
your success is your failure
as your acts deplore the world
your nothing but the murderer and your message will not be heard

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

massacre and mayhem
you have brought it to us all
to try turn us against our brothers
this is not religion at all
power is your struggle
why can't you use the word
like the teenager with the rifle
your message will not be heard

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

I draw whats on my mind
i'll say just what i please
the word gives us freedom
that is why we bleed
if your offended, do you really understand
are you looking at it properly
or are you another with a murder planned

je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie
je suis Charlie

Music & Lyrics Dobrodaddy & Reg)

[steelguitar]

Très belles paroles.
Jolie mélodie et superbes guitares.

Je suis Charlie, moi aussi.
Et je suis triste.

[steelguitar]

The two vocals are fitting perfectly together in the chorus.
I feel the pain in the lyrics, in the melody and in the guitar playing.
Wonderful song.

Great coffeehouse folky protest song here...good job by Trev on the lyrical content and well sung by Geo with that earthy vocal. The harmonies sounded fine as did the neat little dobro solo. I liked the live feel of it and the simple, honest truth of it all. Good job guys..nice collab!

Rock On!

[Vanncad]

Very well written and performed guys.


It's a shame that songs like this need to be written...

[Flash Harry]

Ditto....

I was in France when this happened, the Je Suis Charlie signs appeared everywhere, my wife was in the Louvre in Paris when the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices took place. She heard the sirens and knew something serious had occurred.

Nutters with guns are just that, nutters with guns.

The response in France has been impressive.

[Oldrottenhead]

bravo guys,
a great song well performed and written.
i am all out of words for incidents like this,
i've written too many songs for nutters with guns.

[Redler]
