Another Bandcamp exclusive...!

Continuing with the series of cover songs I've released as singles since March 2020, here is my take on Harry Nilsson's Gotta Get Up from his stupendous 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson

Back a while back pre-masks, two dear English friends, Clair Le Couteur and Carli Jefferson, aka broken folk duo Lunatraktors, flew to meet me in the American West for a few golden days of rodeo, saguaro, and studio.

The three of us, joined by two Tucson musical legends, Frenchman Naïm Amor on guitar and Dane Thøger Lund on bass, headed to Matt Rendon's 8-track recording studio and tried our hands, feet, and throats at a cover of one of Harry Nilsson's most joyous song.

'Gotta Get Up' has long been a favorite of mine to perform live, and Lunatraktors a band I really treasure. Check out their latest release, the stunning 'The Missing Star', an essential take on post-Brexit neo-colonial England : lunatraktors.bandcamp.com/album/the-missing-star

I leave you to it. Enjoy, share, download, and stay tuned for the next single releases.

LYRICS

Gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late, got a big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got a big day, sorry can't stay
I gotta run run, yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone
Gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten
We never thought it would end then
We never thought it would end
We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll
We never thought we'd get older
We never thought we'd grow cold, but now...

[Chorus]

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who'd been to war
She never even knew a sailor before
She never even knew his name
He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days
And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves
And those were happier days, but now...

[Chorus]
