A new cover by Charlie Simpson

Song by Jackson Brown

Lyrics:

Running down around the towns along the shore

When I was sixteen and on my own

No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for

I was just trying to hear my song

Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar

We'd all get in the van and play

Life became the Paradox, the Bear, the Rouge et Noir

And the stretch of road running to L.A.

Pages turning

Pages we were years from learning

Straight into the night our hearts were flung

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from

All the world was shining from those hills

The stars above and the lights below

Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills

I lost track of the score long ago

Pages turning

Pages we were years from learning

Straight into the night our hearts were flung

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from

Childhood comes for me at night

Voices of my friends

Your face bathing me in light

Hope that never ends

Pages turning

Pages torn and pages burning

Faded pages, open in the sun

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from.

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from.

Covers are meant to be different than the original, in my opinion. It should be. Who wants to listen to the same thing. If you admire something so much you should be able to add your own twist to it. Plus, he's from another generation. It should be different. He is introducing it to a new audience and new generation. It's beautiful no matter how you look at it.

A truly horrendous cover. If I was Jackson Browne, I'd sue. Classics like this should not be allowed to be covered. To think some people think that the guy from busted was responsible for such great lyrics....Jackson Browne is one of greatest lyricists of all time, this moron was from Busted.

It was by Jackson Browne, and if you hear the original you will see how poor a cover this actually is. Charlie Simpson is very talented but he should have left this song alone!!!
