It must be almost as long since I did a song for KVR as it has been since I did on here.
I'm trying ... honest!
As the theme this month is a March (for March) I have made a new arrangement of a song I did quite recently in a rather different form.
This was written (lyrics) by a Canadian lady known as Casia and has another Canadian guy doing a synth bagpipes section as well as my daughter, Lilah, contributing the penny-whistle. I programmed the marching drums in JamStix.
Hills Of Aberdeen (Casia)
One dark knight
To my light of day
One drop of whiskey
And knighthood is goin’ ta pay
I can’na resist
A maiden in the night
I have a silver tongue
And a sword ready to fight
The full moon is rising
On the Hills of Aberdeen
I’m ready to take a stand
Ready with a steady hand
Oh, one dark knight
Makes a difference to my day
On the Hills of Aberdeen
Our love is here to stay
I hear them coming
Nothing can stop them now
But maybe a crimson moon
And some luck somehow
Give me one last kiss
Let the blood rush through my veins
I’ve lived a thousand lies
I won’t live in vain
The full moon is rising
On the Hills of Aberdeen
I’m ready to take a stand
Ready with a steady hand
Oh, one dark knight
Makes a difference to my day
On the Hills of Aberdeen
Our love is here to stay
Am I a headless horseman
I have a soul you know
The pipers come to haunt me
It seems everywhere I go
In the end it’s you and I
Fighting for our lives
The glory of the future
I can see it your eyes
On this night of nights
In one moment of truth
I raise my sword up to the sky
In Aberdeen tonight
On this night of nights
In one moment of truth
I raise my sword up to the sky
