If I had a gun to my head and had to give a fav this one would probably have to be said. I’ve never heard such a stark opening verse. You can’t help but paint a pretty clear, stark picture. And it only gets worse. “But you turned to no one
But a bullet and a gun
And the bang blended in with the day
And I sit here, and I drink
It still hurts me to think
Of the sad songs that we used to play”. Heartbreaking and I fully related back in 95 when I first heard it
Great song, lovely performance, and I really appreciate the gear talk details. Marvelous! However--and maybe it's just that I'm tired at the moment--I found that the mirror image in the video caused my brain some distress. I ended up covering up half the screen.
Hi Jonathan- Glad you dug the song and the performance. And the gear talk! Sorry to hear the mirror image hurt your head. Happy to know that you found a solution by covering up the screen though.
Beautiful version! The line of, “I wish I had been there when you found yourself down” haunt me. I love the regret of hope. That line hits close to home for me. Thanks Pete.
Pete!!! So good to hear your voice after so long. You still got it man. I can feel the emotion of this song in your vocals. Love it. This song has always rocked me from the first time I heard it. Blessings brothers!!
Thanks Pete! The stripped down version brings a tear to my eye. So good. I have to admit, it’s hard to drown out the big lead guitar in my memory banks.
When the time is right, I hope we can see you lay it down on stage with the Sinners again.
Happy Independence Day to you too. I'm quite fond of the lead guitar on the record version too. I would love nothing more than to get the Sinners back on stage again.
Absolutely wonderful performance of a beautiful song. This is the song that I queue up when I just want to sit and be, with "Rooftop" now following it up.

Man, you sound better than ever. And that song is just monumental. I'm really touched by this performance. Incredible stuff!
Thanks, Netraam. Appreciate the kind words.
Amazing! Just what I needed today.
Thanks, Brad. Glad to hear that.
Love this song! I was thinking you should post this song for today. Would be cool to learn the details of what inspired it. Thanks Pete.
Hello Hawk 'n' Roll. I'll have to post the backstory another time.
Such a sad song so well written and played. Thank you for sharing it with us on Independence Day
Thanks, BroGreg. Happy to share.

This might be THE definitive version. Outstanding! The living room sessions is gonna be a stunning collection. Can’t wait for the release 😉
Thanks, Brian. They are adding up!
This song gives me gooseys and warm caramel knees when I hear it. Thank you for this Pete. Happy fourth. ❤️💋
Happy 4th to you, Lynn. And thanks for sharing this on the FB.

Thank you so much for the gear run-down too!
Thanks, Scott!
