VOODOO RAMBLE (Boris Zamba) with Marcus Flynn - 4000 Years Old

Led by the award winning Croatian rock-blues guitarists Boris Zamba, ‘4000 Years Old’ is the third single to be released from the band’s forthcoming 5th album called ‘In The Heart of The City’ on CD Baby. Co-written by the band’s founder member, vocalist and guitarist Boris Zamba and lyricist broadcaster and author Pete Feenstra, the song is a veritable stomp which draws on the natural world (the olive tree) and the roots of love. Boris immediately tapped into the lyrical meaning and dug deep for musical feel with his emotive singing, warm guitar tone and crunch. As he explains: “The song was built on the feeling of joy, and the roots of love. And, in expressing that feeling the arrangement built a tension which I think needed a defining guitar solo to resolve the song. I tried various permutations until Pete suggested Marcus Flynn. LYRICS below v1 A green olive tree stands proud in my room, You can hear it call when it starts to bloom, Warm like a duvet, in a pot of dry soil, Moans like a lover, brought slow to the boil. chorus Where love comes from ain’t no mystery, It’s written in the page of history, A love by degrees, is a tale to be told, Wrote ‘em down in Greece, 4000 years old. v2 A gift from the gods, a symbol of peace, A harvest of stars, shine on silver leaves, From Athens to Rome, it leans with the breeze, Longs for the sun, and had to break free. chorus Where love comes from ain’t no mystery, It’s written in the page of history A love by degrees, is a tale to be told, Wrote 'em down in Greece, 4000 years old. repeat chorus © feenstra/zamba https://petetefeenstramusic.com/ https://marcusflynn.com/ https://https://www.voodooramble.com/index.ph...
