If I Could

from Bless The Wind by Ivan Drever

/
  • 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

The title is pretty self-explanatory, I guess there are many things in life we'd all like to do

lyrics

If I could look through my father's eyes
If I could see where he has been
And if I could take me away from here
And see all the things he has seen
If I could walk in his shoes
All of these legends he'd never tell
Through all of these times we could choose

If I could value your friendship here
If I could plough through the rain
All of these clouds would then disappear
If I could see you again
Ask me and I'd be there for you
Sure as the night turns to day
If I could wander this path with you
Through all of its different ways

If I could tell you a different tale
If I could look in your eyes
All of these memories we can hold
Through all of the truth and the lies
If you could drop me a line to say
Everything's going so fine
All of these hard times so far away
Hiding behind these good times

If I could saddle my horse again
If I could ride through the storm
Weather the hardship I saw in your eyes
Steer you away from the frown
If I could harness the rays of the sun
Warm up the chill in your day
If I could help you through stormy seas
In all of these turbulent ways
