Bridge Over Troubled Water

from Covers by Prince Pheonix

about

A cover of the famous song by Simon & Garfunkel, this version was in response to my first year at sixth form college where we had to accurately reproduce a song that was currently in the public domain, armed with my hands I set to work meticulously setting up mics to record every instrument I had available to me and with the help of a very close friend from my year group, I came up with this.

For the coursework I had to cut it down to under three minuets, but this is the full length version as the song deserves to be sung completely.

A fun fact about this song, I actually played drums live for this as I wanted to see how good I was, but I'll leave the final judgement to you lot.

Enjoy!

lyrics

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
