Incredibly beautiful song for such a hard subject to sing about. 'Lot a tough questions in that song, I got no real answers but I like that part where you sing "... faith and love can pull us through.. And coming' from a "been there done that point of view" (hopefully not alone on that one but this is YouTube and you never know who's watchin;) I can only say : don't ever pawn that guitar!
Digging the tune Gil....this whole thing makes me sick....got a tune called ....Brother can you spare a dime that I wrote about it...been kinda hesitant lately....should put some tunes up sooner or maybe later though....
This is a great song 5*. Thank you FC for the link. Hey FC I think your song (Brother can you spare a dime) is perfect for the current economic crisis. That song with a background of the tent cities in Sacramento Ca. would be perfect.
Well written. :) Has a little "Neil Young" flavor to it that I like a lot. I say that as a compliment...not to compare you to anyone because you are fine on your own :) Good job. New Subscriber, Pattipi
what a great song gil, very poignent..i think you really capture the reality of these troubled times on a human level ...the fear, frustration and feelings hopelessness and inadaquecy....rating this song seems very frivilious but of course 5****
Moving, great song.. There was almost an happy ending (Have Faith Love Can Pull Us Through..), but then you put a lump in my throat with the last 3 lines..
Thank you though, I'm rather emotional these days.. giorgio
Very 'now' - Times will get worse before they get better too. The poor get poorer whilst the fatcats are getting ever fatter by the day with OUR money. Great writting,Gil.
this song is so true to many people gil people are suffering in the current climate i hope you are not a victim of this....love the song my friend all the stars for this
very good tune, I'm living this story, hours cut at work to 8 a week...

g6,
you put everything going on now in one song. this is a sad time. now i know what my mom meant talking about the depression on '29.
And it is all about one word, GREED.
But real love always gets us through, no matter what. this song is a 10*** for me.
Thanks for the send Veluby.
and g6, you are a great song writer and musician. this is a fav and a send to all friends.
