Hi all!

We couldn't resist to make a tribute of the great song by orh. I've always loved the atmosphere and feel of it! I arranged the intro by starting with chorus (other way than James). We tried achieve a bit psychedelic atmosphere

Written by James Higgins (2010)
Vocals by Päivi (Ella)
Guitars and keys by Kari (Redler)
Recorded and mastered on Boss Micro BR
Trimmed on Audacity

no point in pretending
it wont go away
like a monkey on your shoulder
its here to stay

you know you cant just run away
an actor moves to centre stage
the words are written on the page
and you dont know which part to play

whats the point in burning effigies
if they wont go up on the fire
lets pour more petrol on your bleeding wounds
and build a bigger funeral pyre

you know you cant just run away
an actor moves to centre stage
the words are written on the page
and you dont know which part to play
a man at the back
shouts
anarchy
the house erupts
the lion roars
they are queueing up to eat the canapes
and someones shouting out for more

Holy Sergeant Howie!

Really quite stunning! I love your voice, Ella - so expressive - and Kari's guitars and keys are excellent & haunting. Definitely a strong psychedelic vibe in this version. I loved it!

Great tribute, to a great Songcrafter.
