there's someone who cares
filled your cup to the brim, we will
you gently let down your head
lift the tears that made you blind
if one day its all gone
came alone and you go along
knowing that has made you strong.
you're a light to yourself
you're a shadow of the whip
so much covered in misery
yeah, well, we all know
well, that's not it.
That's not it.
Oh no.
Broke your heart, will have made you cry
No, so will I be cruel?, well
come a day when its alright
You won't have to feel like a fool.
you're a light to yourself
you're a shadow of the whip
so much covered in misery
yeah, well, we all know
well, that's not it.
That's not it.
Oh no.
Harry Manx (born 1955) is a Canadian musician who blends blues, folk music, and Hindustani classical music. His official website describes his music as being a "blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour." Manx plays the slide guitar, harmonica, six-string banjo, mohan veena and Ellis stomp box. He studied for five years in India with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed mohan veena, which has become Manx's signature instrument.
He has released twelve albums in twelve years, and has his own record label Dog My Cats Records.
He has received much recognition and many awards, including: seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Music Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist, and CBC Radio’s "Great Canadian Blues Award" in 2007.
Manx was a nominee in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for his cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".
Manx is a longtime collaborator with Canadian guitarist Kevin Breit and Australian keyboardist Clayton Doley.
