about

This is lo-fi cover of All Along the Watchtower recorded on an obsolete 90s minidisk 8 track . A version of the Bob Dylan song (although probs more inspired by the Jimi Hendrix version).. Recorded to accompany 'The Wind Began to Howl' - a story game by Kyle Thompson (which i also illustrated) based on the lyrics to this song! Link to game here ===> wiegraf.itch.io/the-wind-began-to-howl

Contains traces of: Guitar, Banjo, Melodica and a perhaps over liberal application of reverb.

lyrics

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None of them along the line
know what any of this is worth.

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talk falsely now
The hour's getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Lachlan spruiks himself as a purveyor of 'dad rock', but it just sounds like regular rock to me. Then again, I am a Dad and was born in 1980 - maybe it is dad rock... :D x o Lu Quade
