Drink

[Errol]

Started this one a long time ago. Began as a low key country ballad then Nick turned it into a Spaghetti Western which was far more fun and Bill finished it off with some rich vocals.

All instrumentation - Nick
Vocals - Bill
Words & Music - Chesook (Errol)


I know I need
To sit and think
But more than that
I need a drink

Inside my heart
There is a hole
That's only filled
By alcohol

She finally left me
To my  lonely end
Now the bottle that is with me
Is my truest friend

I need to purge
My life away
So let me drink
Again today

For none of my hopes       
Have come to pass
So again I fill
My empty glass

She finally left me
To a lonely end
Now the bottle that's with me
Is my truest friend, my only friend.

I love this song - singing it was all pleasure! 

And I still can't believe that someone actually wrote one in a range I could reach LOL!   

Ok with you if I post this at my cwsongs site?

Great song guys, love the crystal clear clarity of this. Every word can be heard and understood, usually I need the lyrics posted to sing along.

You'd think after all those drinks Bill's words would be slurred! 

Thanks John!

This is a sad little ditty.

Bill - your voice is very well suited to this and a fine performance, Sir.

Nick's done a marvellous job with the arrangement which gives Errol's lyric a perfect background.

Well done, gentlemen.

Billy.

Good fun,glad I am Tee-total though.

[Errol]

Thanks guys for listening. I'm happy it this turned out. Nick and Bill were outstanding.

I forgot about this!

Errols songs always made me think "what If?"  We came up with some very fun stuff.

Thanks Errol for letting me experiment!

Nice job Bill. I could see you at the bar telling your sad story!

Yes, Nick this one, like a few others, was a lot of fun. Your 'what if' gave this tune a whole new dimension. Great to finally get it done.
Thank you!

There was a time when "country music" was called "country & western music". This here song reminds me a the latter.
Back in the day, when the, "Sons of the Pioneers" and, "Eddie Arnold" were big-time,  "chart toppers".

Sure nice ta hear that sound in a good ol' drinkin' song! Gotta good un here fellers. A real fine job, well done...Johnny
