Now in final demo of this take to Kaley Willow's music and performed by Jason Brian Adams. Thanks Kaley and Jason. My take of this lyric is on my solo Soundclick site as Reason. Few differant words and melody on that. Graham

A wide variety of music styles, governed by what we are trying for in any given collaboration. Or how an artist applies their feel to any song
This is my page for all collaborations, and for songs recorded or demoed and/or done live by other people. Be they collabs or all my own work. Basically a lyricist, it is some surprise to me that I now also write music to other's lyrics. A nice surprise. Makes me think I have actually learnt something.

Lyrics
The Reason © Lyrics: APRA Graham Henderson Revised 2007, 2003 © Melody, Kaley Willow Revised 2007, 2006 ASCAP The man gazed across timelessness Painted by the moon. Searching for any sign A storm would come though soon. He looked at desert grasses Grazed down to their base. By the cattle that were brought here When conquerors claimed the place. His eyes ran to the river And walked its dry bed. Now but a reminder Of how the country bled. He sent a curse across the plain Good fortune had forgotten. He cursed the tread of cloven hoof Conquerors and their cotton. Chorus They are the reason The river ceased to flow. They are the reason The grasses fail to grow. They are the reason This land he used to own Is no longer worth owning And's no longer his home. Instrumental From his camp he watched daybreak And tragedy unfold. As sun bared the scars and sores. Some new and some quite old. He tried to place when and why The land had failed to thrive. For he recalled a distant time When the desert was alive. Chorus changed Are they the reason. The river ceased to flow. Are they the reason. The grasses fail to grow. Are they the reason This land he used to own Is no longer worth owning And 's no longer his home. Tag Then somewhere, above his rage Another voice came through And reminded him, once He’d tried to conquer too.
