Friends,
I've written an Eagles tribute song in the style of Lying Eyes, titled "Once Upon a Show."
I've posted a youtube video of me performing it - just me and my guitar. It's at youtube.com/ajmora.
(There's also a cover of Hotel California on my youtube channel.)
I've begun producing a full arrangement with drums, bass, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and backing vocals. I think it will take me a few weeks to get it done. When it's done, I'll update you here.
When it's ready, I'll add it to my CD, titled "From London to LA."
In the meantime, here are the lyrics, which I hope you like:
Once Upon a Show
Copyright 2009, Albert Mora
Aaah, Aaah
Once upon a show
A long time ago
When I knew a promise would last
Forever
Little could I know
How the winds would blow
I just knew that we would be
Together
Then the walls came tumbling down
To the ground
To the ground
And the rains came pouring in
Aw it’s a sin
That a loser never wins
Aaah
Never wins
Aaah
Sometimes late at night
I stare at the moon
And I wonder what lucky star
You’re under
Did you find someone
Who takes care of you?
And is your love just smoke
Or is it thunder?
Or do the walls come crumbling down?
To the ground
To the ground
And do the rains came rolling in?
Ain’t it a sin?
That a loser never wins
Aaah
Never wins
Aaah
Me and my guitar
Still play them old bars
Gone a million miles but ain’t got
Very far
Play them romance songs
Lovers singing along
Then the lights go out and I face
Another dawn
And the walls come crashing down
To the ground
To the ground
And the rains come roaring in
Lord it’s a sin
That a loser never wins
Aaah
Never wins
Aaah
Maybe you were wise
Beyond your years
Maybe by leaving you saved
A million tears
Or maybe I’m a fool
For letting you go -
(Slow down)
Once - up - on - a - show
(Pick up speed again for ending)
Aah
Let you go
Aah
Let you go
Aah
Repeat and fade
