Liner Notes

#collaboration #folky #guywithguitar
Another wonderful set of lyrics from SrCoops which I couldn't resist putting to music. The only thing I added was a repeat of the last verse. Really like the sentiment in these words. Respect to SrCoops!

Lyrics

Lyrics by SrCoops, music by me

They came from 
countries
far and wide
Putting their customs

all aside



Their bravery was

deep as the sea 

Sometimes from tyrants 

they did flee



They came leaving 

all behind 

and did the work

that was a grind 


They put their shoulder 

to the load 

and seeds of freedom

they all sowed 



So honor those 

who built this land

They all deserve

a great big hand

Nice adaption! Love the feel and vocals. The whistle is a great touch.

Lovely song that should be played during the ceremony to cover the Statue of Liberty in a black shroud for the next 4 (+?) years. Great lyrics, music, and vocal all around!

I really like the stripped down sound. Lovely guitar line with heartfelt vocals on top. Well done!
