Do Something - Season Three - Week TuTu!

OK, have not listened to most of what has been posted this week (sorry, will get on it), but here is my offering under the wire! This is a take off on "Take Me Home Country Roads" by John Denver. Until yesterday, I had no plans for this and had never played it. Then @la szum started talking about his new HD and a variation on this old song came to mind. So this is that song modified to the perspective of a motorcycle rider. Some of the lyrics are not changed, but most of them are. Forgive my lame performance (live with no after effects other than some mixing), am just learning it but wanted to get it up here for this weeks challenge! Artwork, lyrics and link below ;~)) Congrats to all those who participated this week, I am finally off the slacker list!!!!!!

Country Roads Are My Home (Variation of John Denvers' "Take Me Home Country Roads") - Copyright July 28, 2023 - ANO Publishing, LLC - All Righst Reserved

[Verse 1]
Clearly Heaven, twistin' highways, climbin' mountains, rollin' by the rivers
There is peace here, in the sky and trees, floatin' top the mountains,
Thunderin' through the breeze.

[Chorus]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home

[Verse 2]
All my memories gather round her, biker's lady, smokin' cross paved waters
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, power taste of throttle,
Teardrop tank I ride.

[Chorus]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home

[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
The radio reminds me of those highways far away.
And cruisin' down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been here yesterday, and today.

[Outro]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home
Let me roam, down country roads; Let me roam, down country roads
 

Dude.. that's friggin' hilarious and awesome. :rofl
Well done.(y)

Great work Moondog, enjoyed that. (y)
 
Whelp.. spent hours yesterday trying to come up with verse and chorus melodies...

Then I gave up and fiddled with a synth part on the verses and added a flangey thing behind the guitars on the chorus parts.

Then, finally a little inspirado struck for a chorus line.. not sure on the exact words yet, but it's a good place holder imo. Next week I'll try the for the verses again.

I dig that groove!
