Lesson transcript

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Music Lesson

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I, I will drive them home.
I'm on your side.

Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.

When you're down,
Now, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard,
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.

Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.

Like a Ceylon silver,
Good salon by your time has come to shine?
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine?
Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind.

Alfie Boe

Alfie Boe

Alfie Boe is a tenor from Fleetwood on the Lancashire coast. He has sung on many of the world's leading opera stages, led the cast of Les Misérables in the West End for nearly a year, and performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace. He has had four top-ten albums and platinum sales in the UK, with sold-out tours at venues including the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. In his course he shares the daily vocal exercises and warm-ups he uses before performing - from Jean Valjean to singing for the Queen - the craft that keeps a powerful voice in shape.
