My take on Warren Zevon's "Hasten Down the Wind"
With roughly 550 solo-gigs under my belt and enough originals to choke a horse... I spent about 10 years in the Baltimore circuit. Great times!
I've been playing Acoustic Classic Rock for the past 25-30 years. Under the direction of Studio Wizard Dave Roy I got the CD "So Jennerous" out in early 2003 and hope to have the next project "Second Coming..." in the can someday.
Story behind the song
One of the first songs recorded at Huelva Studios in Spain. Lead Guitar work & Executive Production by Mark Sayers. (Percussion by "Dr. Rhythm"!! ;) )
Lyrics
Say "Goodbye!"
I'm leaving you now,
Thought I don't, really want to.
We could try,
forever, and not get it right?
Say "Goodbye!"
I'm letting you go,
Cause I think that it's better... if we,
Say "Goodbye!",
'fore darkness has cast out Love's light!
I'm not sure my heart's got the strength to leave,
When being with you for so long,
Is all "in love" that I believe!
We say the words, but often don't know why?
Because our hearts embrace a truth which is a lie.....
Just, "Goodbye!"
(Lead 1)
Take a ride,
On a memory back to the love, we created.
Then return,
And see where it's taken us now?
We go on,
In the hopeless romance, of a love that has faded.
Sands of time,
Have eroded the bind of our vow.
I'm not sure my heart's got the strength to leave,
When being with you for so long,
Is all in love that I believe!
We say the words, but often don't know why?
Because our hearts embrace a truth which is a lie
Just, "Goodbye!"
(Re4peat 2nd Verse/Chorus)
(Lead 2)
Say "Goodbye!"
I'm leaving you now,
Thought I don't, really want to...
Just "Goodbye!"
