Bring Me Down

from Bless The Wind by Ivan Drever

supported by
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    One of the great pleasures of this job is the chance to get to know, and work with different people. The album was recorded at Les MacPherson's Near Field studio, in Evanton, North of Inverness in March 2011. Les is one of these people I'd never met before, and we had a great time making the album. Paul Eastham, who kindly did all the keyboard parts for me is another. A great musician and, despite living at opposite ends of the country, thanks to modern technology, managed to get everything done quickly and easily. Andy Murray, my old sparring partner from Wolfstone played some great guitar and bass parts, Les did percussion, and my wife Linda added some vocals and voice overs.

    I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the people above, to Les and his wife Margaret for their great hospitality, to my sister Isabel for not questioning our frequent visits and long stays. A huge thank you also to John Boocock and his wife Julia for all their help and kindness, without which the album may never have seen the light of day.

    We hope you enjoy it, Bless The Wind!

about

First of a couple of tracks with a country feel. My mother and her brothers were all huge Jim Reeves fans, so I've been immersed in the music from an early age.

lyrics

First of a couple of tracks with a country feel. My mother and her brothers were all huge Jim Reeves fans, so I've been immersed in the music from an early age.

I had dreams, ideas above my station
I had words, I though that we could share
I had time when they said that I was wasted
But these dreams, these dreams
they're bound to to bring me down

We had nights I thought would never end, dear
You had a charm, I could only dream about
I had sores, blisters on my feet then
But these plans, these plans
they're bound to to bring me down

But like a knife plunged straight into my heart
Like a poor man asked to wear a crown
Like a blue note played upon a sad song
These dreams, these dreams
they're bound to to bring me down

Like a hope, I'd cling to you forever
Like a smile that only seemed to frown
But long the day, seemed only full of yearning
And these dreams, these dreams
they're bound to to bring me down
