    Brilliant that David went to double time strumming from his second solo on to the end, making for the closing verse feeling like you were flying away. Just awesome.

    Some bright morning when this life is over
    I'll fly away
    To that home on God's celestial shore
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away, in the morning
    When I die, Hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away
    When the shadows of this life have gone
    I'll fly away
    Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away, fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away, in the morning
    When I die, Hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away
    Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
    I'll fly away
    No more cold iron shackles on my feet
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away, in the morning
    When I die, Hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away, in the morning
    When I die, Hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away
    Just a few more weary days and then
    I'll fly away
    To a land where joys will never end
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away, fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away, in the morning
    When I die, Hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away
    I'll fly away

      @spacelumps 8 років тому +6

      +m2dad2 Some people don't appreciate music that has religious imagery that they don't subscribe to, is what I would assume. This tune is a hymn/gospel song, however it has been adopted into the repertoire of traditional American old-time and country music, and there is much more here to be appreciated than the religious message itself.... those who write off music like this are truly missing out on a wonderful and beautiful part of American culture.
