Mercy

Mercy is dedicated to my daughter Roos. At the age of 10 she performed 'Mercy' on a school theatre show, in front of many kids and their parents. Without a lot of talent for singing, she had the guts to go on that stage and go for it! I was a very proud dad!

 

Since I like the song too, I decided to honor Roos and cover Mercy for the Past Forward EP. 

Derek Taylor is an old guiter hero of mine, and his 18-year old daughter Cheza is an extremely talented guitarist. I decided to ask Cheza for the guest solos. She did an amazing job!

​

While recording Mercy, I decided to go for a 'true bass player' on this release, since I wanted a more prominent and groovy role for the bass. I did not trust my own bass skills enough to do that job ;-)

​

Chris Clancy delivered some amazing vocals, using his wide vocal range from soft to extreme.

Mercy

 

I love you

But I gotta stay true

My morals got me on my knees

I'm begging, please, stop playing games

I don't know what this is

Cause you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do

But you do it well

I'm under your spell

 

You got me begging you for mercy 

Why don't you release me? 

You got me begging you for mercy 

Why don't you release me? 

I said release me

Yeah

 

Now you think that I

Will be something on the side

But you got to understand

That I need someone

Who can take my hand, yes I do

I don't know what this is

Cause you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do

But you do it well

I'm under your spell

 

You got me begging you for mercy 

Why don't you release me? 

You got me begging you for mercy 

Why don't you release me? 

I said release me

 

I'm begging you for mercy

Yes, why won't you release me?

I'm begging you for mercy

Yes, why won't you release me?

I'm begging you for mercy

Yes, why won't you release me?

I'm begging you for mercy

You got me begging

You got me begging

 

I’m begging you for mercy

Yes why won’t you release me

I’m begging you for mercy

You got me begging

You got me begging

 

Mercy mercy mercy

Mercy mercy mercy

Mercy mercy mercy

Mercy mercy mercy

You got me begging

You got me begging now

 

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won’t you release me

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won’t you release me

I said release me

I said release me

Release me
