Hello molod,

I listened and this is what I heard. I couldn't make out all the words. Hopefully some else will fill in the gaps and correct any mistakes. Thanks Arkady



John Brown's Body - Music is My Only Friend


Come help me ease my mind
I need a friend like you tonight
Someone to give me strength,
for sorrow is a heavy weight.
I want to play on my tambourine.
and sing a song or melody
I’ll make it sweet and low
so I can hold you close to me.

ohhhhhhh
Music like an only friend
ohhhhhhh

I come between two families
with not one pay the steel man then
Just like when I was young
No one said to sing but I just sung
I want to play on my piano
sounds of comfort and joy
just like the birds in the tree
they seem to sing a little song I know

ohhhhhhh
Music like an only friend
ohhhhhhh
My music like an only friend
Sorrow is the bread I eat
My music like an only friend
Some days delights are many
This line is difficult to make out it may not be correct.

ohhhhhhh
Music like an only friend
ohhhhhhh
My music like an only friend
sorrow is the bread I eat
ohhhhhhh
My music like an only friend
some days delights,some pretty
This line is difficult to make out it may not be correct.

ohhhhhhh X8

imho:

@Sorrow is of great (??????) -> Sorrow is the bread I eat
@Some days the lights are pretty/many -> Some days are nice, some pretty

Are you sure of this, or is this what it sounds like to you? The last words in the two lines sound different to me.

Hi Arkady,

I am a native speaker but this accent I'm not used to hearing. I made some changes after listening over and over and over again. This is how it sounds to me. Please listen with these words and see what you think.

btw,

@for sorrow is a heavy weight -> (be)cause sorrow is eve-ry-whe-re.
@and sing a song all day about me -> and sing a song or me-lo-dy
@so I can hold you close to me -> so let me know that you (are) close to me

Arkady,

listening with these words it doesn't sound like this to me. I added your other corrections, thanks.

This is great!
Thx Macbard!
And Arkady for corrects!

hi, Macbard!!!

@but not one pay the steel man then -> with not one bigger string of mom's bed

...but it does not make any sense to me.

i think the end of the hook remains the same:
some brings delight, some relief

Hi Arkady,

I made a couple of changes but I don't think we can go any farther with this unless someone shows up with the lyrics that come with the CD.
