THE END OF THE INNOCENCE

First of all thanks to blackratsnakes for allowing me to make this collaboration.
.I was willing to cover this song a long time ago, and then I took a look on Youtube covers and I found him playing this on the piano without singing it.I was AMAZED !! Then I thought it would be a good idea to sing it over his cover and acompaining his piano with my guitar too. It took me lots of takes till I made something worthwhile to be listened to. I don´t know if the final result deserves to post it. ( I mean I don´t know if blackratsnakes deserves my cover, I hope so...)
It´s been the very first time I sing with a piano behind me and it´s been more difficult than what I tought it could be.
The tunning is half a tone up from the original ,that´s why capo´s on first fret, so singing it has not been easy.in high tones.
The lyrics are taken from the LIVINGSTON TAYLOR version of this song ( cd tittled INK )and it changes a little bit from the original..
Thanks for watching and listening to it.Please feel free to comment if you want to.
Thanks blackratsnakes once again. You are really GREAT!!

Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky ?
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happy ever after" fails
Poisoned by these fairy tales
Lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly

I know a place where we can go
Still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Grass waves in the wind
Lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence

Beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plow shares into swords
For this old man we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
Poisoned by fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie

I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Grass waves in the wind
Lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence

Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
Somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye

Lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence

[foofoobear66]

Damn, why don't you show your face???? Nice job!!!!

[RCROSSH]

@foofoobear66

Because at first, when I started here in Youtube I didn´t show my face..

[alberzeta]

@RCROSSH jajajaja a lo mejor tienes razon no te digo que no y me va bien este tema, pero nome estoy rajando eh? jajajajjaa ;)

Y sigo pensando que tu interpretacion vocal es muy buena para ser Henley, no te pareces a el cantando y puede que no sea una calca pero no es ninguna caca jajajaja, le das un aire distinto mas dulce, a mi me gusta.

[RCROSSH]

@alberzeta

Pero bueno......el SUPER se está rajando !! NO ME LO CREO !

Esta canción te aseguro que te va al pelo !!

[alberzeta]

@RCROSSH No me hago el despistado (aunque se le pueda dar una segunda oportunidad,en eso estoy de acuerdo contigo aunque solo sea por probar a ver que tal) pero esta version me parece dificilmente superable. Lo juro.

[RCROSSH]

@ALBERCROSSH

Bueno,en la variedad está el gusto.....hay quien considera que un cover debe ser una calca del original......entonces no es un cover, una interpretación, es eso, una calca......de todas formas entiendo que haya quien no le guste.A mí la voz no me gusta demasiado.....Creo que esta canción necesita una segunda oprtunidad......ya sabes a lo que me refiero, no??? y no te hagas el despistado,jejejej

Gracias SUPEEEER!
