Many of you may have seen the update below on Facebook already, but I'm sharing it with you anyway. Also, I'd like to share something with NJC (non-Jim content), but related to Hero's producer Zak Lloyd, at the bottom of this message.

I recently had "The Vagabond" (my co-written English version of the song "Vandraren" by million-selling Swedish duo Nordman) recorded by L.A-based Hero producer Zak Lloyd:

A second version of "Vagabond" was also recorded in L.A.:

More info about the song can be found below.

THE VAGABOND
Music by Mats Wester and original Swedish lyrics ("Vandraren") by Py Bäckman
English lyrics by Jimmy Granstrom, Gabriel von Malmborg and Pat Cerasaro (English lyrics approved by Wester and Bäckman).

Mats Wester and Py Bäckman are million-selling Swedish songwriters. Mats is a composer/musician who has performed live with Joe Bonamassa, Eric Bazilian (The Hooters) and Sascha Krebs. He has also collaborated with and/or had his songs recorded by Bazilian and Blackmore's Night, the new band of Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple).

I met Mats in Spokane, WA in March 2014 during his World Tour with Bonamassa. Shortly after the meeting, I drafted "The Vagabond", an English version of his most famous Swedish song "Vandraren" (recorded by the duo Nordman featuring Mats and singer Håkan Hemlin). Mats liked the draft, and gave me the approval to continue to develop it (later Py also gave me her approval of my English version for her original Swedish lyrics).

Hope you enjoy this new version (lyrics below).

The vagabond searches deep inside
As the fires of hell are calling
God may save him from where devils hide
But his guardian angel's falling

Desolation echoes in his head
Since his body lost its spirit
Hollow voices from the unmourned dead
And he cannot bear to hear it

CHORUS
Pain runs deep
You must walk on
Letting go of what is gone
Pain runs deep
You must walk on

You belong to the road, you're a vagabond
He remembers feeling warm inside
When he felt loved and protected
Distant lights now feed a starving mind

With a hunger long neglected
Drifting deep into unending night
As his candle starts to flicker
Pale blue shadows 'neath a moon-lit sky
As the fog is growing thicker

CHORUS*2
