You Were Sleeping (Re: R.I.P. Fileman)

[TheDoctorV2point0]

you are always bringing up looks. johnny cash is old and wrinkly, he was also a legend. bieber will last another couple years. nobody even knows who kanye west is anymore, britney spears is currently passed out drunk behind a worn down bar. hell, i cant even spell madona right.

[periurban]

@TheDoctorV2point0 Hey, I hear you, but the truth is that "beauty" sells! Even Johnny Cash was pretty once! (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all!) Maybe I just blame those other things because I never had the courage to sacrifice everything for singing. I never had that belief. When I was growing up you had to get a "proper" job, so that's what I did. I tinkered, but I never believed.

[RymenDaan]

Wow,Wonderfull

do you have already a cd from your own ,

you sing your songs with passion

[periurban]

No CD I'm afraid. Thank you for your kind comment.

[RymenDaan]

it's aa shame im from belgium and i like your songs and lots of people like your voice , you should start a proffessional career

Grtz Daan

[periurban]

Why is it a shame you are from Belgium? Don't you like it there? lol

Actually, of all the people who have heard my songs, very few are interested. I'm glad you like them, but you are part of a very select club. I won't be a professional musician. I'm fifty years old and have hardly sung in public. I'll leave all of that for the talented people who are also young and good looking. Nice to talk with you.

[filemen2]

Thanks again, P.

This remains one of the nicest things

anyone has done for me.

[periurban]

Well, it was my pleasure.

[joefileman]

That song has good groove.

[awilliams100]

Wonderful as always Peri. -Alan-

[misomercy]

strong

[periurban]

Dark.

[Annaconda1984]

great song (-:

[pi314too]

Dont know this fellow but this is a pretty song, Peri.

[periurban]

Thanks. Fileman is real gem, and deserves more from YT.

[SirEuchre]

Don't look now, but YouTube has started supporting stereo sound!

There's also a higher resolution supported. Sneaky updates!

[SirEuchre]

Slight revision: It seems Partners can get such support, my latest upload didn't retain the larger size or stereo.

Accounts are not created equal, of course.

Gotta love YouTube.

[periurban]

Wow.

[ChordToNowhere]

Amazing song. I can't believe what happened to fileman. No, really. I honestly can't believe it. YouTube is really taking things too far now. I'm -thisclose- to giving up on this site for good. Pathetic.

[periurban]

Don't give up. Keep the faith.

[mixedpixel]

tribute from the heart

[moonriver42]

Thank you for beautiful salve of a song. Easing our hearts over fileman. Kindness - that's you Peri.

[lemintrepid]

Excellent dude. Is blu tak essential for a good 12 string sound?

[periurban]

Yes. I'll explain it to you later!

[brignoni68]

Very cool and poignant song! Bizarre tale about fileman. Guess you never know who the cover police are watching! Am I next? Naaaahh!

[periurban]

Probably. Watch out!

[misomercy]

magnificent tribute. such a beautiful song.

i will miss the old filemen vids :(

[periurban]

It is a tragedy.

[Evilspartacus]

Quality

[underanindiansky]

you are very good at writing songs, mr peri urban :)

[rurikhan]

Artists and record companies that sue people that bought their content are hypocritical bastards that keep biting the very hand that feeds them, they will regret it one day, because the music listening community is resorting more and more to free artists like our friend Peri here, who makes quality music just the pleasure and not to gain money. Excellent song as always Peri, love your work, keep it up.

[periurban]

Hey, if anyone wants to give me money (purely in the interests of supporting my music, you see) that's OK with me!

[rurikhan]

I'll paypal you a beer one of these days ehehe :) cheers m8.

[periurban]

I'll drink it too!

[pi314too]

Peri, You deserve far more than a beer. For starters, I think you deserve to have a hit single with "Change One Thing". Then you can invite us all over and give us the free beer and spend the rest of your days writing music for all to enjoy. :)

[periurban]

You are toooooooo kind!

[pi314too]

I beg to differ with you. Yes, I think some go overboard to sue a fan who is not gaining any monetary value by covering a song. It really is a compliment to that artist. But to say you will resort to "free" artists is another story. If you want music to be free how can quality artists totally commit to a life of making music? How many songs that may have touched you deeply will remain unwritten because the artist is spending his time struggling to make ends meet? (continued below)

[pi314too]

(cont. response to rurikhan) Think of what you do for a living. What if everyone expected your services for free? And if your services weren't free they found others who would do it and those in your profession would no longer be compensated. Do you think you would be able to continue to do your work even if you loved it? How would you support yourself & your family?

[geckoiw]

As always Peri, a real pleasure to listen to you sing and play. After years of not having a twelve string, I'm inspired :-) Payday, so I'm off to buy one in a couple of hours!

[gimmeocean]

requiem for a channel gone before its time.

[renetto]

Nice...

[grandmabev]

I love your original music!! This one was especially good.

[TinkerbellKat]

soooo pretty! those chords... oh man. now i want to write a song with those chords lol.

[periurban]

You can! I don't own them........ lol

[TinkerbellKat]

i can't tell what the chords are though.

[moviegasm]

Peri's the best. :)

5 stars

[filemen2]

omg thanks peri!

wait, how did you know i was sleeping? lol

[lapair]

Lovely. Well done.

[rextangle]

5 stars. Speechless (for once!lol)

[periurban]

Wow, that's a first!

[rextangle]

Yeah! Give yourself a pat on the back, it doesn't happen very often! LOL

[hosshuckleberry]

Just Fantastic

[rickinfla]

Great as always

[kenrg]

Nice song - I'll have to take a look at what you're responding to...

[periurban]

Just another YouTube channel hit. Ka-pow! A copyright bozo took out one of my friends.
