The Cliff Song: Harmonica Version




"The Cliff Song" is the fifth track from the album "Love Is Not An Open Door." Listen and download HERE.

I gave you a different version of this song back in September. This one has the only recorded Lee Istrail harmonica solo. The tale is about a friend who turns foe and tries to settle his argument with a gun. "The Cliff Song" is a flight of fancy which I wrote in high school. While I have never actually been chased by a gun-toting villain, this song captures my apprehension back in high school that my innocence would sometimes be dangerous. As Bob Dylan sang, "I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn."
