Watch Over You - Alter Bridge - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sandwiched in between the heavy post-grunge cut and thrust of "One by One" and "Break Me Down" on their 2007 album Blackbird, hard rockers Alter Bridge pause for a quieter moment on acoustic-dipped reflection "Watch Over You." "Leaves are on the ground / Fall has come / Blue skies turning grey / Like my love / I tried to carry you / And make you whole / But it was never enough / I must go," sings vocalist Myles Kennedy, who takes a candid look at addiction. It all comes to a head in the bridge: "And when I'm gone / Who will break your fall? / Who will you blame? / I can't go on / And let you lose it all / It's more than I can take / Who'll ease your pain? / Ease your pain." "Watch Over You" was released as the second single from Blackbird and flew to Number 19 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, also getting an acoustic-only makeover as part of the band's live sets, where Myles Kennedy performs the song by himself.
