about

This week I recorded a version of the Tom Waits song No One Knows I’m Gone.
I fell in love with the song after first hearing it on his album Alice (The whole record is amazing actually)
As with a lot of Tom's work, it’s incredibly beautiful, haunting and mysterious all at once.
It's proved to be a little bit too sad to play at live shows, people just kept crying into their drinks. So I figured it could find a home here instead.
I’ve played around with the structure a little and stripped the song back to it's bare ingredients. Just look how bloody hard I’m concentrating over there!

Love,
John

lyrics

No One Knows I'm Gone.

Hell above and heaven below
All the trees are gone
The rain makes such a lovely sound
For those who are six feet under ground
The leaves will bury every year
And no one knows I'm gone

Live me golden tell me dark
Hide from graveyard John
The moon is full here every night
And I can bathe here in his light
The leaves will bury every year
And no one knows I'm gone
No one knows I'm gone.
