Blue Haze Hill
I walked on down the valley, to see what I could find,
The only thing I left with was this fragile state of mind,
When this I do, When this I say,
I push my dearest love away,
While everything for which I stood,
You're long since gone, I'm here to stay,
While crawling down one alley, I heard the organ grind,
A thousand lonely souls, no hopes no goals, I asked them for time,
They pointed through the door, Across the lonesome floor,
Beyond the window sill,
I took a seat, My quest complete,
There stood before me Blue Haze Hill,
Well it never seemed so easy,
But I never tried so hard,
I've never been so god damn close,
And ended up so far,
Stumbling further down the alley, Before me stood a sign,
And so it read, that all are dead, Who dared to cross this line,
Like a blinded fool, Payed no heed to this rule,
I shook away the chill,
Nowhere to call my home, No one to call my own,
I ran away from Blue Haze Hill,
Then I walked back down the valley, For I knew you wouldn't mind,
Under the trees so tall, I found a waterfall, And birds that sing in rhyme,
Opening my eyes, I got a sad surprise,
I see it even still,
No birds shall sing, No bells may ring,
No, Not unless for Blue Haze Hill.0 Comments 658 days

Song Reviews
Artist:The Eskies
Location :Ireland
Song Title
lue Haze Hill
Genre: 3am Blues
What I thought:
You'll hear The Eagles in this immediately. I also heard Dylan in there too.
It's an easy sound, that reminds me of smoky bars (remember them?) and people enjoying themselves. These guys sound like they're enjoying themselves and it comes across in the end product.
Production-wise, it's a little rough, but that's OK. The timing could be tightened up, but that might actually have a negative effect in certain ways and remove some of the fun.
Reminds me of:
Eagles, Dylan, Magic Numbers
Score:
7/10
In a sentence: Smoky bars or beach barbeques, this gets a play.
