Thanks guys

My goodness Rick it's so nice to hear from you.
I hope all is well on the homestead and that you're still playing music on the weekends.

I'm happy you can hear some progress in my work, I'm working hard at it.
baby steps my man...
Some days I feel the progress and some days I feel I'm living in a state of delusion.

[Nelson]

Thanks guys
Haven't heard this one in quite a while.

Here's the most recent version of the song

"Bare Feet In The Street"
Nelson

It's 3 in the morning and I can't sleep
There's nothing to see on this old TV.
just set here, staring at the screen.
It was another night out, wild as can be,
but ended up with the same old 3,
Loneliness, a stranger and me.

I told myself time and time again,
This is no life... can't you understand.
A promise made, then broken again.
Another stranger is in my bed.
I gotta go, I won't turn around,
I started walking but I'm running, now.
And the only sound or sights to see,
Are the other lost souls running bare feet in the streets.

You gave your heart, I gave my word.
I broke it again and you kicked me to the curb.
Now, dry your eyes because I don't deserve your tears.
It's the price I pay, for fooling around,
I had your love but look what I'm left with, now.
Loneliness strangers and me.

I told myself time and time again,
This is no life... can't you understand.
Promises made, then broken again,
another stranger, in my bed.
I gotta go, I won't turn around,
I started walking but I'm running, now.
And the only sound or sights to see,
Are the other lost souls running bare feet in the streets.

Good to hear from you again Nelson that's one beautiful distinctive voice you have I could pick you out of line up with it
That's some lovely tune another for my collection

[Ferryman_1957]

Very cool update to a superb song. The recording quality is really good, the vocals and all the instruments sound fantastic, very well balanced. Really nice work. I love the different parts and the changes throughout, it's great songwriting.

Great to hear you back here as well, welcome back!

Missed your voice Nelson ! Welcome back - the song was good then and now even better!

[StephenM]

Wow... I love them both...but it's like they are two different songs...totally....and what i think is the most amazing thing about this song is the incredible lyrics.... omgosh you nailed a subject that would be very hard to describe... wow...it's very cool....gotta hear this some more.
just wondering if you might have anything more stashed away.... ?? would love to hear....  btw.... I hope I am not getting myself in trouble here with the admins because I am not sure about this.... but since this song really is a new song.... it's almost nothing like the original musically....  I would love it if you posted it as a new song because then it will play in the latest song list.... ? 

[Nelson]

Thx guys
Looking forward to hearing the magic you've been creating.

Stephen I didn't think about that, Maybe I will post it as it own separate song.
After all it is quite different and over a decade old.
