Während sich ERIK GRÖNWALL auf seine kommende Soloplatte konzentriert, findet der ehemalige Skid Row, H.e.a.t und zuletzt MSG Toursänger immer noch Zeit für seine Renditions bekannter Songs aus allen möglichen musikalischen Bereichen. Gestern Abend ist seine neueste Neuinterpretation online gegangen: Alannah Miles bzw. ihr Klassiker `Black Velvet`, der jetzt in seiner dunkleren Version einen anderen Vibe versprüht. Musikalischer Partner ist dabei, wie eigentlich immer, Jona Tee von H.e.a.t.
ERIK schreibt:
“We took this classic in a different direction… darker, moodier, heavier. This is our take on Black Velvet.“

Lyrics:
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high
Mama’s dancin‘ with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin‘ like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis, the music’s like a heatwave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl
„Love Me Tender“ leaves ‚em cryin‘ in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?
Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
If you please
If you please
