FORK IN THE ROAD
IMAGE REQUEST BY @EDPRIVAT
It was a great song to work on , I went for an acoustic/Soul arrangement, as sound of the guitar with the Fuzz Box is so legendary, that I couldn't even try to compete with a simple distortion.
LISTEN TO SPIRIT IN THE SKY BY ED PRIVAT ON DSOUND
The tempo is 130 bpm, and the main of the work as usual was on the backing vocals.
Instruments: Acoustic Guitar and Vocals, effects
Virtual Instruments: Pick Bass, New York Hop Drums, 70's Electric Piano
LISTEN TO SPIRIT IN THE SKY BY ED PRIVAT ON DSOUND
I actually borrowed the bridge from a version "Spirit In The Sky" by Dorothy Morrison, she is a gospel singer that got famous with the song "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins singers.
I changed the last verse to " I have been a sinner and I sinned", instead of "Never been a sinner I never sinned"
I leave you with the full lyrics!
Cheers!

Spirit In The Sky
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
LISTEN TO SPIRIT IN THE SKY BY ED PRIVAT ON DSOUND
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
LISTEN TO SPIRIT IN THE SKY BY ED PRIVAT ON DSOUND
Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

Dang @edprivat, I’m not sure where to start. Thanks for all your help and support, you’ve helped me more than you know. A bajillion thanks! Dude! You smacked it outta the park with this one: “going.. going.. Gone!” What a great rendition of one of my all-time favorite songs and the timing... Friday before Easter weekend, how perfect is that? Ed Privat did that song, thanks for the idea, Norman.

Hahaha I am so happy that you like it, it was hard to decide if I should keep it close to the original or go in a different direction. I decided to do something halfway, somehow keeping the spirit of the original with a new sort of sound, especially the drums and bass are actually Hip Hop!
Anyway thanks for making me a better musician and singer, that's the whole point of the song requests, people have a story with a song, and me trying to recapture it !
