More from foxamoore
From birth I've known little but pain
each footfall I've put down on this earth
takes me further from ghosts that i've slain
and what's it been worth?
Over mountains and rivers my trail
this beaten path i have beaten alone
circles round to the past without fail
ever darker and more overgrown
The mountains can't come between memories
the rivers can't wash away my hurt
and fightin' through this thicket that's inside of me
has left me broken
down in the dirt...
But one day our paths chained
and in you I could see the same pain
the same will to forge on in your gaze
but the same beaten path
was in your wake.
Now I can't say that the past doesn't hurt
but in some ways i'm starting to mend
it ain't that loving you has changed me no
I'm just finally going around the bend
We'll claw at the world together
we'll reap a clear path when we're pressed
I know our journey one day will end
But now you'll be there when I rest...
But one day our paths chained
and in you I could see the same pain
the same will to forge on in your gaze
but the same beaten path
In your wake... In your wake.
Lyrics by Rukis
So a couple of months ago 
rukis approached me about doing a song for her upcoming novel The Beaten Path. (You'll be able to pick up a copy at AC and also at Furplanet).
It was to be a Country themed song... Since I'd just come back from a month in the USA, it seemed perfect timing to compose a song like this. :] (And at last a good excuse to use my Harmonica.)
>>> You can see the full cover of the novel that goes with the music here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13614595/ <<<
Enjoy!

so gonn gets to be the voice of Ransom. Fitting, you have found a good one here. His voice matches what I'd think Ransom would be, honestly. That almost smoky voice, full of memory and past. And Fox performed the harmonica just as I'd imagine Ransom as having played it. All so spot on, and perfection.

Excellent composition! The instrumentation is fantastic - the harmonica and steel guitar add that country feel to it. Was kind of expecting an instrumental interlude, but this song still stands out well!
Vocals aren't too bad, either. Pitch is dead-on, but the diction could use a little adjustment - I'm guessing English isn't 's first language? It's okay, it's still damn good!

That explains it then :). Yeah phonologically there isn't a lot of overlap between Indo-European and Semitic languages, so speaking both without an accent is a tremendous feat! Having said that, your English is actually quite good (only a trace accent) - I could understand all the words without following along with the written lyrics. I'd bet your singing in English is probably a lot better than my singing in Hebrew (especially since I only know a few words lol).
Well done!
Well done!
Good work here guys! I still like Gonn's first version of this song.

It's gorgeous... it reminds me of the music from Mt Desolation (a country styled band including two members of Keane) a lot which is a good thing. Very nice mixing on this, so kudos to the sound man on this one. I like how intimate the instruments are, it's very warm and nostalgic just like the slower Country stuff is.
Very beautiful vocals, they're vulnerable enough for the Country genre and really add to the rest of the music.

It was beyond refreshing that this song had no mention of tractors being considered sexy or laying down by the river or drinkin' beers. I also really appreciated the slightly older country feel without the strong rock influences I usually hear on the radio these days. Cheers to both of yall for creating something beautiful and unique.
Thank you... My heart likes to lock my emotions away, but there are some instances where a key to that lock is found. This song was such a key. Listening to it within the context of the novel it originated (Ch 18, Pt 2) just... let the floodgates open. To everyone involved in this... Thank you.
