Mansion on the Hill
August 26, 2008 10:50 AM
Cortex has given me a taste of MuFi collaboration, and I like it. This is a simply acoustic country gospel ballad about sin and possible redemption. Anyone is welcome to download it and contribute.
In my ears, it needs some organ and some close harmony, but whatever anybody wants to do to it, if they want to do anything, is welcome.
Here are the lyrics:
There's a glorious mansion on the hill, on the hill
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
There's a promise that I made once
I keep it still, I keep it still
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
There's some sinning that I done once
I sinned my fill, I sinned my fill
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
There's a good I must find in me
I will fulfill I will fulfill
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
I swore to give up roving
And so I will, and so I will
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
I'll turn from rowdy ways
Right up until, right up until
I reach that glorious mansion on the hill
In my ears, it needs some organ and some close harmony, but whatever anybody wants to do to it, if they want to do anything, is welcome.

I sinned my fill, I sinned my fill
There's a glorious mansion on the hill

And so I will, and so I will
There's a glorious mansion on the hill
I'll turn from rowdy ways
Right up until, right up until
I reach that glorious mansion on the hill

Aw, this is lovely. A lot of promise there for people to lay stuff onto, I'd say.

This is really pretty, for some reason I hear it as a punk song, it'll be fun adding some of that nasty to it later tonight.

Well, I'm a little, um, pitchy here and there, I guess, but here's a harmonized version.
