Rain and Tears - Aphrodite's Child - Instrumental cover by Dave Monk

Here is my instrumental version of "Rain and Tears" by Aphrodite's Child.
I am playing it on my 50's Series Fender Stratocaster through my Korg AX3000G.
You can hear the "Canon" all the way through.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones; preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

The Song
"Rain and Tears" is a song by the Greek band Aphrodite's Child. The song was included on the band's 1968 debut studio album End of the World, and was released as a single in July 1968 on Mercury. It became a major hit across Europe, reaching number one in France, number two in several other countries, and entering the top 30 in the United Kingdom and West Germany.
The song was written by Evangelos Papathanassiou and Boris Bergman on the motives of Pachelbel's Canon.
Lyrics
Rain and tears, are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game
When you cry
In winter time
You can pretend
It's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
Tears coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears, are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game
Give me an answer of love
(O----ooohhh)
I need an answer of love
(O----ooohhh)
Rain and tears in the sun
But in your heart
You feel the rainbow waves
Rain and tears
Both I shun
For in my heart there 'll never be a sun
Rain and tears, are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game
Game...

Hello Dave, as I listen to this beautiful tune there's a steady drizzle outside to compliment it. A slow sentimental song played so touchingly by you and sounding more like a hymn with the heavy organ in the backing track. A wonderful version of Rain And Tears. Wish you good and with a promise to be back on Thursday. Bye!!
