Oh Lord, please listen to my song
It's to you that I'm raising my voice today
You are everywhere, you are everything
But please, don't be a burden to me

It's to you that I shout out with this song, lord
I've heard there's nothing you can't make come true
So I beg to you, give me just one more chance
Please, just this last time

It would be just a wave of your hand
It would be a just one simple thought
And my life will begin again
So I pray for this Devine gesture

I raise this song to you, oh Lord
Can't you hear the begging in my voice?
Please, let me start anew
Give me my life once again

I won't waste a moment this time
Because I know the bitterness of days lost
So I beg you, let me start again
Give me just this last chance

But if you can't give it to me
Then at least allow me to experience this love again
The one that already died in me and her
Please, allow me to live through it again

It's to you that I shout, oh Lord
To you I raise my voice
You can be bread, birds, you can be the sun
So don't be a burden to me

with the late, great Tadeusz Nalepa on lead guitar

For the Swedish master bassist and cellist Lars Danielsson, the grandmaster of euphony, the power of music lies in the melody. It is the seed, the energy center from which everything unfolds.

That's a great song, Safar! Cool beat, slide guitar, spooky vocals - what more does it need?

Thanks for the recommendation of a band I don't know, but will be checking out.

Here's something with similar ingredients that you might like:-

Totally fell in love with Billy Harper's music yesterday.
Can't believe I never heard about him before but a search showed that he's apparently never been mentioned here either.
He's got tons of great stuff but Black Saint seems to be his most well known and it's an amazing entry point. An absolutely perfect and beautiful album, also rather accessible. Recommended for everyone interested in jazz.
Couldn't find a youtube link but it's on spotify.

A couple weeks ago he was helped off the stage after about two tunes into his quintet set while playing at the Cutting Room in NY. Rumors said it was a stroke, but it wasn’t, and he is out of the hospital now and doing better.
The OG Capra-Black!!!

Also (you probably figured this out), Black Saint was the first album on the
"Black Saint" label (and the first album on "Soul Note" was a Billy Harper
album too). If you want to hear any of those, just drop me a PM.

Discogs listing.
