ERIK GRÖNWALL veröffentlicht seine metallisierte Version des FRANK SINATRA Evergreens `My Way`, der er den Zusatz “ My Funeral Song“ („mein Begräbnis Song“) verpasst hat.  Bei dem, zur dramatischen Power Ballade umgewandelten Song, beweist der vormalige MSG, Skid Row und Heat Fronter wieder einmal seine beeindruckenden Gesangskünste. „Ganz großes Kino“, sozusagen.

ERIK schreibt über `My Way`:

“This song has always meant a lot to me. Singing it my way, in my own style, is something I’ve wanted to share for a long time. This is the song I want at my funeral.“

Lyrics:

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I’ll say it clear

I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full

I traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

 

Regrets, I’ve had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

 

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all, and I stood tall

And did it my way

 

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried

I’ve had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

Oh, no, oh, no, not me

I did it my way

 

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

 

I did it my way…
