But I didn’t really love the lyrics for the rest of the song. I also liked, ‘If I jumped in the river I wold probably drown’ and the way that rhymed with ‘down’. I absolutely loved the melody and the lines, ‘No matter how I struggle and strive / I’ll never get ouf this world alive.’ The words themselves felt like pleasing poetry, just as the melody did. ‘Cause nothin’s ever gonna be alright no-how I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails These shabby shoes I’m wearin’ all the timeĪnd brother, if I stepped on worn-out dime If I jumped in the river I would probably drown
#Words to the song world for two full
My fishin’ pole’s broke, the creek is full of sandĪnd I was livin’ high until the fatal dayĪ lawyer proved I wasn’t born, I was only hatchedĮverything’s against me and it’s got me down Now, you’re lookin’ at a man that’s gettin’ kinda mad Here are the lyrics to the original song: It’s proof that good songs don’t need to be complicated.Īlthough I couldn’t properly hear the original song as it had too much happening at once, when I entered the score into GarageBand I could hear it properly, and I liked it. As well as being very popular, this song is surprisingly simple. In my quest to learn about country music, I googled the most popular country songs of all time, and one of the songs I found was I’ll never get out of this world alive by Hank Williams. Making small changes to lyrics of an existing song In this lesson I’ll walk you through a process for adjusting lyrics to a song to make them feel more personal to your circumstances, so you can relate to it better.
But you can also completely rewrite the lyrics to your circumstances, using the initial song as inspiration. You might just tweak a few words – it is common for a singer to change the gender of characters in a love song, for example, to make that character the gender that the singer is attracted to.
When personalising song lyrics, it’s up to you how much you change them. So when there is imagery in a song that feels at odds with my own experience, I like to change it to something I can relate to better. For example, I don’t drink and when I listen to songs about people getting drunk this is not something I can relate to and it creates imagery in my head which I don’t particularly enjoy. But sometimes I find some lyrics jarring. The lyrics of the song don’t need to perfectly match our own circumstances in order to create the feeling of connection. One of the reasons songs are so popular is because we often relate to parts of the lyrics – they trigger us to remember feelings or specific moments in our lives. The album features seminal recordings from the artist’s coffeehouse era (Gerde’s Folk City, 1962), his mythic 1963 breakout concerts at New York’s Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, a duet with Joan Baez from the historic March on Washington (August 28, 1963), definitive performances from his European and world tours of 19, incandescent moments from the 19 Newport Folk Festivals and more.One of the benefit of creating your own cover version of a song is that you have an opportunity to personalise the lyrics. Most of the performances on the album have been previously available only on the extremely limited edition “50th Anniversary / Copyright Extension” albums (three highly-collectible compilations–released in 2012, 20–of rare early Dylan recordings).Īcross two discs-worth of music, Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections chronicles Dylan’s transformation from groundbreaking acoustic “folk” artist to iconic force of pop culture. Bob Dylan’s Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections is now available digitally or as a 2-CD set.
