This was originally a finger-picking song which didn't hit that spot and dedicated to Elvis, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, David Bowie, and the musician mates lost in the last 2 years Gary, Stroudie, Alan, Albert and Dick the dogs ( long story hahaha)

SO vocals loaded into BIAB and then the song changed for the better because of the contest.

Angels can sing Rock and Roll

At least there's something we now know
there's no reason for him to go
but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

there's still a lot that we got left
all the memories just won't fade
gones the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

aah just a king
ooh just a king
I'll never know
if it's gonna come true like they say
might as well do as they say
it doesn't matter

all as one we feel the same
each feels different as a name
but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

ooh just a king
ooh just a king
I'll never know
if it's gonna come true like they say
might as well do as they say
it doesn't matter
anymore

Hi Alyn,

No-one, absolutely no-one creates and presents music like you. Without exception, at the end of your songs, I always find myself sitting back in my chair and reflecting on your lyrics. You make me think and I really like that. Too many fine people have definitely left Earth way too soon.

Thank you for yet another journey in music and thought.

All the best,
Noel

You're breaking my heart here, boy. Such a sad song!

The chorus is so ethereal...

Thanks for showing off that style. Well done...

fj

I agree with Floyd. This is a great melancholy song.

Beautiful vocals and arrangement.

Alyn,

Wow! Loved it - so beautiful. A new favorite for me...

Bob

Beautiful song Alyn. Loved the vocal, lyric and vocal

I was waiting for an explosive change somewhere on the first third of the song,
(Because I really love that in your songs!) but that didn't come.......
what did come was a very cool transition, Very effective chord change like we've come to know so well in your music.

Rob

What a cool song Alyn! Great job.

I started this song when Elvis died in 1977 and finished the lyrics last year when my ole guitar sparring partner Albert died, But as an acoustic guitar song it was "just like any other folk song" THEN this style really brought the song to life.

Thanks for listening and yes too many good folks have passed recently

Alyn

Thanks floyd,
thanks to your use of the ethereal it now makes the chorus almost seem like angels singing.

and yes the _serenad style REALLY works for this song.

Alyn

Thanks David, as I said in the reply to floyd this style REALLY works in this song.
I sat back and went WOW when I first heard it in BIAB. It was almost perfect as it was, straight from the box.

Alyn

Hello, Alyn

Melancholic and beautiful song with unique chord progressions!
Somehow I feel a trace of John Lennon in your vocals.
Very enjoyable listen.

Best Regards.

Serenade Songwriter Folktronica--Now, that's a name for a style! This is really cool Alyn!! I do hear the "serenade" element in the music. Very nice tribute! I particularly love the dreamy feel of the choruses. This is vintage GIBSON!! Take care. Greg

Alyn
Very nice. Poignant lyrics, good backing and performance.
Impressive song.

a fine performance and a pleasant listen well done with thought provoking lyrics and indeed " different " with a difference

Thanks Bob,

so glad you enjoyed
just have to say that you are on a roll at the moment, producing some great songs

Alyn

cheers Scott,
So glad you dropped by and commented

Alyn

As I wrote in my reply in the contest forum, I do go quiet sometimes , usually when the medication kicks in

thanks for stopping by and commenting

Alyn

Thanks for listening and commenting.
I hope all is well in your neck of the woods

Alyn

Good to hear from you, so glad you enjoyed it.
Lennon was a great influence on me when I was growing up and in my early recording days I read how his voice was recorded and tried to emulate him!

all the best
Alyn

The name attracted me to the style, Folktronica was a name too good to miss!
Always good to hear from you, Greg. I hope all is well where you are.

all the best

Alyn

Alyn,

I always look forward to hearing your new songs, wondering what you are going to come up with next. This is really a beautiful song. Well done.

Steve

Great write, perfect style for this one. love the chorus part.

Kenny

Noel expressed our feelings very eloquently. This one rips the paint right off of your heart.

Nice.
