Chris Jones - Long After You’re Gone

Album: Smoke And Noise, Lyrics: I heart you’re goin’ on a joumey And your route is laid out plain Goin’ where the sun shines every day No more heartache, no more pain Don’t you pack those bags too full my friend Make sure you’re travellin’ light But take enough of my love with you To keep you warm at night And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone I hope that journey takes you everywhere That you ever wanted to go Hope the bad bits go past real quick And the good times toll real slow And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone Now the heavens are weeping And I will not be sleeping tonight Pray to that unseen star That no matter where you are You’re gonna be alright ‘Cause we’re all on some kind of joumey Tomorrow I could be leaving too But where I end up going I’ll take a little piece of you You could be singin’ this song Long after I’m gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone Someone will be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone Long after you’re gone Jones was born in Reno, Nevada. At the age of five, he began playing the guitar. A few years later, he decided to become a professional musician and when he was 11 years old, he got admitted to a program at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, Maryland. There he discovered the idol of his younger years, Johann Sebastian Bach, to whom he dedicated his Sonata in D. For this sonata, Jones was awarded the conservatory’s Young Composer of the Year award. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the blues and started listening to Robert Johnson, James Taylor and Little Feat. In 1976, Jones joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Adenine’s, Germany. During this time, the foundation for his musical career in Europe was laid. Over the following decades, he played guitar on albums of artists such as Sara K., Allan Taylor and Reinhard Mey. He toured and recorded solo and with the blues harmonica musician Steve Baker.
