LARKIN STEP - WRITTEN BY LING86
LOCKERBIE 20th ANNIVERSARY MEMORIAL
The Original Artist and composer of this fantastic song is a YouTube based artist named Ling. Ty found the song and fell in love with it. He learned to play it, and then added some fingerwork that made it even more beautiful (as if that were possible?!?) So he walked around playing it all the time. Finally, I asked him if he wanted to cover it, which of course he did. Not to reinvent the wheel, as it has been widely covered, but he's my kid, so I indulged him. Ling, we really tried to make it something you would enjoy. We hope you like it. XO
Both Ty and I fell in love with this song. For him it was the haunting guitar melody, me too actually... but more than that, "Larkin Step" clearly brought me back to a time, in 1988, when plane engines DID actually fall from the sky! On December 21st, Pan American Airlines Flight 103 fell out of the sky, some say from a bomb on board the plane. All tolled, 270 souls aboard the plane and on the ground perished. Lockerbie was the moment of my realization that even if we are sitting on our sofas watching our TVs, it might still be our last moment. So we'd better live more fully. 2008 is the 20th Anniversary of Lockerbie. We mean our version to be both a tribute to Ling's wonderful song, and a Memorial of those Lost at Lockerbie.
Philip Arthur Larkin, [9 August 1922 -- 2 December 1985] was an English poet, novelist and jazz critic. He was offered the Poet Laureateship but declined the post. Larkin is commonly regarded as one of the greatest English poets of the latter half of the twentieth century. In 2003 Larkin was chosen as the "nation's best-loved poet" in a survey by the Poetry Book Society and in 2008 The Times named Larkin as the greatest post-war writer.Larkin's early work shows the influence of Yeats, but his later poetic identity was influenced mainly by Thomas Hardy. He is well known for his use of colloquial language and antique word choice in his poetry, Death and fatalism were recurring themes and subjects of his poetry; Larkin specialised in making poetic the trivial, in finding significance in items of everyday commoness. Ling86's song is so perfectly a "Larkin Step".
PS: We had to change the key to G, as I haven't Ling's lovely soprano voice.
LYRICS: Larkin Step written by Ling86
God he turned and walked away,
Couldn't think of what to say,
when plane engines fall through your roof;
And I broke my knee while
walking down the street that I live on,
While no one was passing by.
Life moves along, and it trickles down
the cheeks of every beautiful boy;
Time comes along, and it breaks
every bone in your spine.
And into the flight of night,
Insomnia strikes, and hopes alight,
Set ourselves up to fall;
So we stargaze and we write down
all the things that we'll do;
Fall into the river,
our pockets full of stone,
Full of stone.

"Larkin Step", by Ling86

God he turned and walked away,
Couldn't think of what to say,
When plane engines fall through your roof;
And I broke my knee while walking down the street that I live in,
While noone was passing by.
Life moves along, and it trickles down the cheeks of every beautiful boy;
Time comes along, and it breaks every bone in your spine.
And into the flight of night,
Insomnia strikes, and hopes alight,
Set ourselves up to fall;
So we stargaze and we write down all the things that we'll do;
Fall into the river, our pockets full of stone,
Full of stone.

Ling86's channel is down..
decided to upload it here first!
Hello Youtuberz!
Ling and Kali are both in this one at the last chorus, Enjoy :-)
My humble tribute to a great song.
Like many others, fell in love with ling's hit. Inspiration took the best of me and had alot of fun making this "maquette" in a few days. THANKS LING! sorry in advance for not asking your permission to do this...
Hope you enjoy, this song is just fine in its "ling86 acoustic original freetime" but was curious on where i would go...
I stopped myself from going further without any1's input, good music is done by a team. One person can get a super song up, but it takes a unit to bring it home!
I'm gonna miss working on larkin step, others are calling...
PS: please excuse the ruffness of the video, i guess its only on youtube i can get away with it, YOU the people deserve better...
Hugz & Happy Holidaze to all
Kaz
Lyrics:
God he turned and walked away
I couldn't think of what to say
when plane engines fall through your roof
and I broke my knee while walking down the street that I live in
While no one was passing by
Chorus:
Life moves along and it trickles down the cheeks of every beautiful boy
Time comes along and it breaks every bone in your spine
Into the flight of night
Insomnia strikes and hopes alight
We set ourselves up to fall
So we stargaze and we write down all the things that we'll do
Fall into the river our pockets full of stones
Full of stones..
Chorus, etc.
