Gino Vannelli - "Put The Weight On My Shoulders" Drum Cover Video by Alan Badia

A Gino Vannelli masterpiece of music. A pure delight to the ears. This beautiful song, from one of my favorite Gino albums ~ Nightwalker. Featuring a slow, deliberate, and pin-point precise drum track with lots of space between hits. This is a lesson in drum tempo discipline, originally recorded in 1980-81 by one of the best drummers of our time - Mr. Vinnie Colaiuta. It's always a challenge to play it right on the drums. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did covering it.

LYRICS
Put the weight on my shoulders
Take the load off of your mind
Cause the headwinds that blow
Will fade away in time...

Rest yourself on my waters
Take the lifeline from me
Rise above what has passed
And let yourself be free
I only know what love must bear
Through laiden times I will be there
And when your down I'll break the fall
Loose the weight on my shoulders
It ain't no weight at all...

I only know what love must do
When fortune cries I'll follow you
And when your down I'll break your fall
Put the weight on my shoulders
It ain't no weight at all...

Put the weight on my shoulders
See you star how it shines
Cause they're so many dreams
Left to find...

Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
