Here is my instrumental version of "Careless Whisper" by British singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as the second single from Wham!'s second studio album "Make It Big" from 1984, it was written by Wham! members George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, with Michael producing the song. Although the song was released as part of "Make it Big", the single release is credited to either Wham! featuring George Michael (in North America and several other countries) or solely to George Michael (in the United Kingdom and some European countries).
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Bridge Pickup) with the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch B0). Recording was done via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
The backing track was a karaoke one from the Karaoke Version website - www.karaoke-ve...
This arrangement was inspired by both the original version and the instrumental version by The Shadows on their 1987 album "Simply...Shadows"
I hope you enjoy my version of this 80's classic
LYRICS:
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?
