The tune is called „Vagabond Song“ from my album "Down Empty Streets". It is about living on the street, as countless homeless all over the world do. I think most of us have this romantically transfigured view about this life, which has nothing to do with the harsh reality and the struggle these people go through each day. I often get lost in my „first world problems“ (e.g. how to get a good-sounding Steemit post) and tend to forget how good our life generally is…
As I am a huge Savatage fan, I also did counterpoint vocals at the end - similar as they did on many awesome songs. The cover was shot by my wife @patschwork. We did a road trip on the west coast of the US and were driving from Lone Pine to Mono Lake when this car showed up. It was a perfect moment and a perfect picture.
Vagabond Song
I got gipsy blood
The ole’ travelling bone
Got nothing to loose
Living on my own
Did you ever walk down a railroad track
Considering not to step aside when the train arrives
Nothing’s right and all is lost inside one night, one fight
Every street is the same by night
Every skyline got a thousand points of light
Every city got forbidden sights
To see, to feel, to touch
Hear…
Hear my cry
The vagabond song
The song of life
No forgiveness on the street
When none knows your name
And none is your friend
No fortune no fame
Did you ever walk down a railroad track
Considering not to step aside when the train arrives
Nothing’s right and all is lost inside one night, one fight
Every street is the same by night
Every skyline got a thousand points of light
Every city got forbidden sights
To see, to feel, to touch
Hear…
Hear my cry
The vagabond song
The song of life
