Soulshine

Uma das bandas que eu mais gosto é o Gov´t Mule. Muita gente não conhece, mas eu indico pra todos os amigos. A base de formação é do Allman Brothers e o vocalista - Warren Haynes - apesar da aparência de Hell Angel, canta muito, além de ser um guitarrista de mão cheia.

Pra quem quiser ter o primeiro contato com o som dos caras, eu sugiro que ouçam Beautifully Broken e a versão deles pra Soulshine. De brinde, vai aí a letra desta última, principalmente porque ela vale a reflexão.

When you can´t find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain´t shinin bright
And you fill like you´ve lost you´re way
When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away
Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soul shine
It´s better than sunshine
It´s better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Hey now people don´t mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day

I grew up thinkin´ that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel a cold wind
Blowin´ through my achin´ bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn"

You got to let your soulshine
It´s better than sunshine
It´s better than moonshne
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah now people don´t mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
And when your world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control
