about

This is my The Cranberry Merchants cover.
The Cranberry Merchants is Dianne and Steve Moore,
they are Atlanta area composers & musicians, in a rock & pop genre.

I started recording this cover a couple of years ago.
I sent a clip to Dianne (Moore, the other half of The Cranberry Merchants) and she liked it, but then something else came up and i forgot it. Now a while ago when Dianne was helping me with the English of my solo tracks for the upcoming album, Dianne reminded me, it would be cool if i made the cover. Well, that was the push i needed and finally I finished it and Dianne and Steve seem to like it, so I am happy I made it.

I hope that every one who listens to my version listens to the original 100 times, it’s a great track!

lyrics

In The Blood

Well they found a way to paint the landscape
In their lame, but soulful gestures
While the thinking man struggles to plan
Just the token word requested

And I wanna see the world
But do I want to listen?
In the ways of the world
They’ve got a place for me

Endless string of litanies distill the household
Instill in us a sanity that never grows old
When we talk to heaven we’ve got a word like “pray”
When God talks back to us we’re crazy anyway

And I wanna see the world
But do I want to listen?
In the ways of the world
They’ve got a place for me

Is it something in our blood?
Do we think we know enough?

But we don’t know why we exist or die
Even in the sharpest minds
How are we so smart, how we got this far
When we think we are the one who’s more right
By our hand we’re to understand
That the wiser man is heard
And we can quietly accept the fate we’re served

Well they phased away complacency days
Just to scatter generations
Demography ads and yesterday’s fads
Are the moral separations

And I wanna see the world
But do I want to listen?
In the ways of the world
They’ve got a place for me

You think you’ve single-handedly got the earth to face
But a little desolation can go a long, long way
Even when we’re sleeping we feel the passage of time
While you write your standards tonight
I’ll be living mine

And I wanna see the world
But do I want to listen?
In the ways of the world
They’ve got a place for me
