Big Sky: New Version by alfstone and ORH dedicated to Facemask.

i had originally thought of redoing this with Alfredo for the replay fest. but before Alfredo and i had begun. Robert sadly passed away. I sent Alfredo all the separate wavs from the original with the original vocal as a guide my intention to re sing the vocal part. Alfredo sent me to files one with and one without vocals. when i heard the with vocal mix i thought i couldn't replicate that. so i am posting that version. at some point i may attempt to re sing this one, but for now i don't feel i could better it.

Thanks for doing this Alfredo. here is a link to the original version https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7729.0

so now in dedication to Robert. Rest In Peace our fellow songcrafter.

hey look at that big sky
it's as far as we can see
and will you step up to the plate
and face what's coming your way
with your head held high
with your head held high

hey look at that big sky
don't it make you feel small
just remember everyone you've touched
and loved
will have a memory of you
when you stepped up to the plate
and faced what came your way
with your head held high
with your head held high
you made a difference
you left your mark
with your head held high

hey look at that big sky
it's as far as we can see
but i will always remember
i will always remember

Lovely tribute. I can hear the emotion in your voice as you sing. Robert was so lucky to have had so many wonderful friends here!

Lovely work chaps. Love the gentle backing and guitar work that complements the gentle vocal very nicely.

Beautiful and touching. Feels like in heaven.

It's dark at the moment, but in the morning as I look at that Big Sky, I will be hearing your voice float way up high upon this beautiful music.
Just wonderful.
