From the very first note 'Walking On The Water' is a foot tapper with an infectious groove and a feel-good vibe. It's a wild mixture of country, blues, gospel and pop that features Ajay Mathur's long-time friend and musical companion Richard Koechli on guitars and percussion. Ajay regards the 2013 Swiss Blues Award winner as one of the finest slide guitarists on the scene today. 'Walking On The Water' is a cover version of Ajay Mathur's original from his 2015 "9 to 3" album and one of 13 spectacular remakes of Ajay's songs by roots, folk, jazz, classical and rock musicians from Tokyo to LA and Chicago to Buenos Aires on his upcoming album "Blow My Cover", which will be released digitally, on CD and as Vinyl LP on October 20, 2023.
lyrics
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Like a desert moving slowly to the sea
Like a mountain that never turns green
Like a painting that's been hanging upside down, I've been hanging to a dream, yeah
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Like a raindrop that falls upon the sand
Like a feeling that has no chance
Like a feather I've been trying to hang on to, I've been hanging on to your love, it's true
Like the fish is in the clear blue water, like a walk through the garden so green
For a vision of paradise, I have squandered my dreams, yeah
On a highway that's leading to no end
There is no message, there is no heaven-sent
No one's cheating 'cause there ain't no play-by-rules. I looked for wisdom in a world of fools
Like the fish is in the clear blue water. Like a walk through the garden so green
For a vision of paradise, I have squandered my dreams
Walk, walking on the water, walk, walking on the sea yeah
Like a desert moving slowly to the sea, like a mountain that never turns green
Like a painting that's been hanging upside down, oh yeah
Let me tell you now. Like a raindrop that falls upon the sand. Like a feeling that has no chance
Like a feather I been trying to hang on to
I've been hanging on to your, I've been hanging on to your, I've been hanging on to your love, it's true yeah
Walk on water, walk on the sea yeah, walk on the water with you
