A great song by Cream (1968) Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce & 'Ginger' Baker. I've stayed as close as I could to the original this time. This a great late 60s Power Trio Pop/Rock / Psychedelic era song. I just had to use my Yamaha Revstar RE620 on thi

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
Being of 'a certain age', this is one of those classic songs from my later teenage years. Not all of the songs on Cream albums were as awesome as this one. However, the singles that they did release were usually pretty memorable. The intro on their version begins in a kind of 'mock', 5/4 time ... but I've just gone for a straight 4/4 all the way through. I've just been a little 'creative' with the lyrics ... I got the last verse a bit mixed up ... I mistakenly sang the first two lines of first verse again by accident ... these things happen !
Lyrics
White Room by Jack Bruce & Pete Brown (c) 1968 In a white room with black curtains in the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place, where the sun never shines Wait in this place, where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into, such a sad time, at the station As I walked out, felt my own need, just beginning I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wound now forgotten In a white room with black curtains in the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings I'll wait in this place, where the sun never shines Wait in this place, where the shadows run from themselves

great cover here David, man it kicks off and just rocks big - lovin' it mate, vocals are great and really rock with the verses (bridge sections got that whole Mick J emotional rescue feel which is very cool - I would have had to echo the guts out of it for my vox as I wouldn't have got there...lol!) well done! good friend in high school was crazy about Cream, he was way cooler than the rest of us, lol!

Sounding really good David. An epic song to take on, and you've definitely done it justice! You've injected a little of your own style into this & it works perfectly! A fantastic trip down memory lane!

The Bridge sections were a bit of a challenge vocally ... so this is my very first venture into 'falsetto' ... ;-) I used the Wah-Wah pedal on my Line 6 Pod Go pedal for the ... well, for the Wah-Wah parts of course ;-)
