I guess it all goes back to the days of Sub D and the Irish Rover in Spain, because I've always loved a good cover. There's something very enjoyable about taking something that is good and established and adding your personality and flair to it. It also requires a different brand of creativity. Not so much less or more, but just different. Just ask Marilyn Manson or Gwen Stefani. Anywho, so I've done a couple in my day, and this is one that I really enjoyed making.
Hope you like it.
I'll Fly Away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls flown
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away
Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

Oh Jes!!
ReplyDeleteDad and I are near tears as we relish in the beauty of your expressions of our Lord and Savior. Thank you for sharing it. I'll Fly Away was one of the first songs Dad and I sang together when we started in ministry. It still has such a special place in our hearts, and it pulls all the strings to hear you sing it so melodiously!! Thanks to Keight for sending us the link, and spreading the word! Love, Mom
ps...Love the cover--it's amazing!
