Red Chord – by The Frames – cover by Tom Meny

And I’m pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
It helps me out
When you’re away

When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the arms of my war

And I’m pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I’m pulling on the red chord
So you’re not so far away

And I was at the uni..
The university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of

And I’m pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I’m pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord

Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord

Sweet Pea – Amos Lee – cover by Tom Meny

Sweet pea
Apple of my eye
Don’t know when and I don’t know why
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home

Sweet pea
What’s all this about
Don’t get your way all you do is fuss and pout
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home

I like the Rock of Gibraltar
I always seem to falter
And the words just get in the way
Oh I know I’m gonna crumble
I’m trying to stay humble
But I never think before I say

Sweet pea
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes I’m out of control
You’re the only reason I keep on coming
You’re the only reason I keep on coming yeah
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home

Glen Hansard heard and liked my cover of “High Hope”

I covered a Glen Hansard (Swell Season) song, posted the link on Twitter, and Glen Hansard heard it… liked it, and responded.  I guess he liked it enough to tweet about it twice.  Glen Hansard is an Academy Award winner, is the lead singer of the popular Irish band The Frames, and currently the lead singer of The Swell Season. Glen Hansard is the star of the motion picture ONCE. Very big day for me.
