Pie Jesu

Wat ‘n unieke verwerking!

Chris het ‘n vokale strekking van 4 oktawe.  Die wat bietjie weet van musiek sal verstaan, die wat nie weet nie – dit is nie iets wat jy agter elke bos uitskop nie. Dit is waarlik ‘n unieke talent om te hê.  Hy het ook geen formele musikale opleiding nie en kan glad nie bladmusiek lees of skryf nie.  Nie te sleg vir iemand wat buite die raamwerk van kommersiële Afrikaanse borrelgom beweeg nie.  Hy ryg die KANNA’s , die SAMA’s en nugter weet wat nog in en is nie skaam om saam met ‘groot’ name te staan en te erken dat hy eintlik nie weet hoekom hy daar is nie, want hy kan nie eens lees wat hulle skryf nie  = )

Unplugged

Hierdie deuntjie vind sy pad tot by my vandag en ek is laf daarvoor.  Daar is meer as een weergawe, maar unplugged was nog altyd meer eerlik vir my as kommersieël.

“Music is to the soul what words are to the mind.”

You know I’m not one to break promises,
I don’t want to hurt you but I need to breathe.
At the end of it all, you’re still my best friend,
But there’s something inside that I need to release.
Which way is right, which way is wrong,
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we’re heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There’s nothing I can really say.
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I’ll be on my way.

You’ve given me more than I can return,
Yet there’s oh so much that you deserve.
There’s nothing to say, nothing to do.
I’ve nothing to give,
I must live without you.
You know we’re heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There’s nothing I can really say.
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I’ll be on my way.

So I’ll be on my way.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There’s nothing that I can really say.
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I’ll be on my way.

So I’ll be on my way.
So I’ll be on my way.
