Your Sweet Voice
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright
If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
And all my earthly cares might fade away
If you hold me in your warm hand that way
It's as close as I get to love
As close as I get to love
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Again
[solo]
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright
Oops, wrong song.
If it wasn't for RP I would have never learned of Manx
Eternally grateful .
Same.
Eternally grateful .
Subito!
I guess you agree with me?
This guy deserves an 8 or above
Subito!
Ok. I'm not going crazy.
At first the tune wasn't doing much for me (busy at the computer) but i heard these lyrics..."there's no sinner without a future, there's no saint without a past"...that caught my attention.
So i rate it, then look at the lyrics...??
Well so is Diana Krall...
Don't miss him when he comes to your local, he's great in concert.
Hence the Manx in his name. Nice tidbit of info.
A bit of linguistic trivia. The native language of the Isle of Man is Manx Gaelic, which is part of the same branch as Irish (Gaelge) and Scots (Gàidhlig) Gaelic. The renaissance of Gàidhlig has rekindled interest in Manx Gaelic.
Which doesn't explain how the cat lost his tail.

"Manx was born in 1955 in Douglas on the Isle of Man, and moved with his family to Ontario, Canada when he was six years old."

He now apparently resides on SaltSpring Island, on the beautiful Southwest Coast of Canada.
Actually, he's Canadian, but let's not let that interfere with your diatribe....
^ Actually he's Manx (from the Isle of Man)

Saltspring Island.
This image association is permanently in my brain now. Thanks a lot!

Neither Bowie or Young are from the states & neither is Mr. Manx.
I happen to love all three.

Than I downloaded all his albums, at least 5 of them!
And listened to each and any song in detail!
It turned out that his songwriting is rather limited!
Many songs have the very same structure and feel!
This one here is one of the few differences!
Still - I like him a lot!
HIS GROOVE IS HOT , WHY WORRY ABOUT STUFF THAT DON'T MATTER EXCEPT TO FOLKS WHO OVER ANALIZE EVERYTHING.....
you no like? dont listen, go away....good music wasted on you......
Nice pussy :o)

I love the sitar (is that what it is?) glissando in the background. Sends shivers up my spine :). 8 from the Nottingham jury.
... meets Tony Joe White!
But still pretty OK* to me!

If you don't - ahh well hey ho.
Cherio! This reminded me of a Texan named Ray Wylie Hubbard. He doesn't have the good mandolin but you might relate.

This shoild be considered a pre-requisite before going to the theater to watch 'Crazy Heart' ...

Every comment by Excelsio sounds exactly the same, and says exactly the same thing: 'everything sucks, including me'.
He's gone. Let him/it go...

It's called, um, the blues. It's a genre you probably haven't heard of where fixed chord structures are used as a sort of canvas to be painted with one's own colors. This guy's colors are pretty damn well composed.
For those of you who haven't noticed, Excelsior hasn't been around for a few weeks. Please stop re-posting his comments. Thank You.
Well, some people like something called "diversity." Which is something that Harry Manx has absolutely none of.
So let's get this straight Mr. life affirmative. Are you saying that Mr. Manx is not your cup of tea, or are you actually claiming musical authority on the subject of his tunes? Could it be you're just having a bad day and feel like dumping a little.? Maybe you have some actual experience in the music industry to qualify this onslaught of negativity. I don't wish to deny you your indulgence, (welcome to it bro) nothing like a good rant, but remember, it all comes back to ya. Yer probably a slide player! Love Shaktiboy

Your Sweet Name
Trumpets lie broken in the dust
Pierced by the heart of all that we trust
Compassion’s a sword, a rose or a kiss
A cold road to travel with those that we miss
One man laughing at the others faint will
While yearning for home alone on a hill
With the kind of faith that often grows cold
Stone be stone be silent we're told
The heart of your world is circled by ruin
Words mean nothing, your heart weeps monsoons
Waking dreams, are dreams as dreams go
All is well when Your sweet name flows
Your sweet name flows
Without a clue wish I could say
Hope's dragged up from empty wells each day
Mirrored eyes reveal how much you've grown
But the child in your eyes still suffers alone
There's no sinner without a future
No saint without a past
So little time to be here
One wish ... make it last
