The Hereafter Lyric Game

glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home

Autumn in New York  --  Frank Sinatra 

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song

Autumn Leaves - Nat King Cole

Curtains part revealing a country scene
Clothed in green and brown
Evidence of autumn
And recent rain
On a winding lane, a byway

Evidence Of Autumn - Genesis.

We got a new one today


Waitin' round the bend
My Huckleberry friend    

Waitin' round the bend
My Huckleberry friend  

Moon River - Andy Williams

Yes, very sad news 

You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue Moon - Frank Sinatra


keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue   

keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue   

     


"Blue Moon Of Kentucky"  by  Bill Monroe 

Many of the artists we discuss on this thread were very young at the time of their passing, and we mourn not only the person, but the music that died with them before it could be created.  I don't know why, but I have always felt that this guy wasted more potential greatness than almost anyone else when he died:

Time can pass and time can heal
But it don't ever pass the way I feel
You went away a long time ago
And why you left I never knew

Time can pass and time can heal
But it don't ever pass the way I feel
You went away a long time ago
And why you left I never knew

Still Feeling Blue - Kasey Chambers


Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.

Ramble On  --  Led Zeppelin 

This next song was a tribute to Otis Redding who was scheduled to be the opening act for this band.

Poor Otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor Otis dead and gone

Runnin' Blue - The Doors

Nice!

Saving nickels, saving dimes, working until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times

Looking forward to happier times

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt



Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you ?
What's your name, can I drive you home ?
Sweet woman, are you all alone ?

Packerz, on the Hereafter Lyric Game, all the artists we are posting are deceased.  "Still Feeling Blue" was originally recorded by Gram Parsons and "BLue Bayou" was originally recorded by Roy Orbison, both of whom fit the category.

"Rat Bat Blue"  by Deep Purple 

I had me a mother that could pray, boys
She prayed for me both night and day, boys
And I tore down every down every prayer that she could say, boys
And I ain’t comin’ back here anymore

Blue Ridge Mountains - Townes Van Zandt


Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long my love

I know rock    hit the Post button before I realized that Ronstadt is still living.  But a case could be made that her career is dead

LOL!  


Kasey Chambers is also still very much alive, although I've seen photos where she looked like  "the walking dead!"
