Hi everybody, great to make another live video on my smartphone for week #3 of the songwriters challenge. The new song I wrote is still evolving but the idea is there. Also hello to my followers and new followers, and another thank you to @meno and @luzcypher
Stolen Soul
He used to play guitar ... he would make it cry ... and say "excuse me while I kiss the sky"
at the Woodstock concert ... the whole world saw ... Jimi Hendrix and his whammy bar
He started making lots of records playin' rock & roll
and the devil gotta reap another stolen soul
The stolen souls of rock and roll are in the hall of fame
but the one who reaps, is the one who keeps, and it's the devils game
Another legend of rock was born singing "Riders on the storm"
and so he breaks on through to the other side of dimension's doors and Jim Morrison dies
And the L.A. women loved his rock and roll
while the devil gotta keep another stolen soul
The stolen souls of rock and roll are in the hall of fame
but the one who reaps, is the one who keeps, and it's the devils game
The King entered in ... and the lights went on ... Elvis Presley packed the concert hall
He took a couple of pills before the show because the one that he took made him feel slow
That was his the very last concert playing rock and roll
and the devil gotta reap another stolen soul
The stolen souls of rock and roll are in the hall of fame
but the one who reaps, is the one who keeps, and it's the devils game
So the list is long ... and the souls are gone, but the spirit of their music keeps living on
They might have a star ... on the walk of fame, and lost trying to play the devils game
If you make it to the top playing rock and roll
you might just give the devil your stolen soul
The stolen souls of rock and roll are in the hall of fame
but the one who reaps, is the one who keeps, and it's the devils game
