LYRICS
"Africa"
Written by David Paich & Jeff Porcaro

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

(chorus)]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

(chorus)
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

Oh damn! He did it! He covered the song I've always wished I could cover but been too scared to tackle! Holy moly. This deserves about a billion views. You CRUSHED it. Mad props!

Chris Excellent Job!
I love the timing of the two sticks on the toms and how you you put all the instruments together.
Another Brilliant Job Chris

What I really, really appreciate is the way you put a twist on the instrumentation part of these arrangements. So tasteful.

After being a long time Toto fan, it turns out we don't need a band full of guys, we just need Chris Commisso! Ha! Great job, Chris!

Wonderful job, Chris! This song is a personal favorite of mine and you knocked it out of the park! For a couple of requests, I'd love to hear your renditions of "Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler and "Right Back to Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale! You rock, man! Can't wait to see the next video!
