homeless soldier (original)

[TheDarkestStar1]

God dam thats a good song.Bit dark though

[Maysey1]

Back for another listen on this one. Well written, I'll be back more often friend. Mark

[MamaTheD]

I pray this song breaks some hearts and opens some eyes. Luckily my husband came home to us. Homelessness often doesn't happen right away for your soldiers it can be 3 to 5 years for everything to crumble for them.

[coolanddark]

Thank you and say a thank you to your husband for his sevice to our once great nation!! God Bless!!

[Maysey1]

Found this gem tonight visiting a new sub's page. I wish this damn sharing thing was in order good friend as I would have never missed this. Well written kind soul, well written and loved the pickin', this is the kind of music that inspired me to play. Don't hesitate to share the new ones with me. Great to hear you this night. Mark

[nllleonard]

Missed this one! What a beautiful song, Dan!!! I think I need to have a whole playlist just dedicated to your kindhearted, compassionate songs, and then a separate one for the blackhat songs, but then I think of so many of your songs that don't fit in these catagories either! You are a deep and complex person Dan, with the sweetest heart! I really love all of your creations!

[coolanddark]

[jayrbee60]

Geez Dan, You are freaky! Such great talent. What really makes me mad is that I used to go to Seattle twice a year for business. I sure would have liked to shake your hand.

[coolanddark]

[pdblmb]

Thanks for this song Dan, from an Iraqi vet. I think it really gets to the heart of the issue. Great song.

[sinawava42]

Great job. I really like this song.

[coolanddark]

thank you very VERY much!!!

[GavDuggan1983]

Great song about a real harsh reality of war. Things are the same in Britain, politicians always hark on about how much they respect our servicemen but treat them like shit, abandoning them in hard times. This is harsh, stark and a chillin' listen, I'd loved it. 5 Stars.

[coolanddark]

yes!i have heard about the political correctness that is destroying Great Britain and now America.thank you!

[rochelle1263]

Wow That was a powerful piece of art keep up the good work.

[coolanddark]

thanks Rochelle!!nice too hear from you!i hope your new job is going good!;)

[Tilly220]

Sarah x

[coolanddark]

thank you very much Sarah!i appreciate it!!!

[hswatnik]

good song, the hat is a nice touch-

[coolanddark]

thank you!!!

there are those that love my

 hat and many who loath my hat.

it think it makes me sound more folkish

[hswatnik]

Hi, I suggest you want to try a few videos with a suit and tie on - I'd think it would do a lot for your career- ya can even wear the hat too!

[coolanddark]

lolol!now your playing with me!ok one of these days.lol

[ACU5TIC]

Great song,you could change the names to British ones and it would be the same story,peace.

[coolanddark]

yes!i imagine its that way in most countries.thank you very much.peace

[carlguage]

Great song..I like the Melody..and it addresses an Overlooked Situation....

[coolanddark]

thanks Carl!yes i was hoping this wasnt going to get political but its good to air it all out

[oldnrone]

Well if the Govs can find it in their hearts to send their boys out to war, they should atleast take care of them that make it back home, and the families to them that don't...

[coolanddark]

amen brother!cant just flip a switch and go right back into society like nothing ever happened.thanks my friend!

[FiremanOly]

Hello

Dan...

You carry on the priceless tradition in the same vein as Woody Guthrie here in your brilliant original social commentary through the folk song. Moving people into action by providing them with a platform for discussion and education...the raising of social consciousness and awareness by way of a folk song that speaks about the universal concerns of the day. Thank you for blessing us with this most thought provoking composition.

Peace,

Max

[coolanddark]
