Bernard Fanning - 'Watch Over Me'

Recorded at the MAX Sessions 2005

Lyrics:
When trouble fills my world
You bring me peace
You calm me down
You're my relief
When walls come crashing down around my feet
You light my way
You're my release

So say you'll watch over me
When I'm in too deep
Tell me you'll always be
There to pull me free

When the sun is beating down upon my brow
You are my shade
You cool me down
Every time i tried to turn away
You brought me 'round
Your humble way
To say you'll watch over me
When I'm in too deep
Tell me you'll always be
There to pull me free
There to rescue me

For every time you sheltered me from harm
You showed me truth
Kept me warm
Every time you left me on the street
I found my way
I found my feet

So say you'll watch over me
When I'm in too deep
Tell me you'll always be
There to pull me free
There to rescue me
There to pull me free
There to rescue me

Such a simple, profound song. I have only recently got hold of Tea and Sympathy and loved the whole album. Then this gem at the end! This live version is poignant and shows a gifted and complex man sharing his human vulnerability.

I read someone saying that Bernard Fanning is over-rated and talentless, and Dan Sultan is incredible. The few times I've seen Dan Sultan play guitar, he seemed pretty average for a guy that has been playing one since he was four. Bernard is a far more accomplished musician and a more unique vocalist.
