Hey Steemers!
Back as usual. This time I'm back with a cover by Neil Young called, "Needle and the Damage Done". A masterpiece...if I may say so! A beautifully crafted song by incorporating the D-chord shape into multiple chords and bass melodies. It is simple, yet complex in tones. A song about the damage that heroin did to the music community.
I did this song as a warm up to open mic over a year ago, but decided to make it an actual open mic submission this week! Hope everyone enjoys. Lyrics provided. Cheers! Have a great week
Lyrics
I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.
