Ralph McTell - Streets Of London HD

People always say music and photos can tell stories. I say when these two are combined, it can tell a much better story. Sometimes it may even bring out humor and black comedy or expose the dark side of society. And this is my latest creation, "The Streets of London". Inspiration on this comes from the ongoing class struggle in my own country. I hope you enjoy this clip, and please feel free to leave your comments./piras

People sometimes have a very merciless view towards the homeless..They may have created thier own fate in most cases.but that doesn't make them less human, or bad people.I wish I could help every homeless person..but in truth I shy away from dirty, weather, beaten homeless people for the most part...& have done almost nothing to help them...one day I hope i turn a new leaf, I would feel so accomplished if I dedicated my life to helping the homeless.sometimes I fear i am not brave enough though.

@Salvus967 Don’t feel ashamed of yourself speaking the truth. At least, you have heart thinking about them especially in times of dreadful winter in Europe.

Am I mistaken, or is the picture of the wall painting at 0:39 with the two policemen and the naked guy hanging out the window, taken in Bristol and not London? Either there are two such paintings, or that picture is from Bristol..

@Salvus967 Sorry I don’t know where it is. I just got it from the internet as myself has never been to London (:

I've never been to London. But I can say that Everywhere in the world is the same, We are all face with problems. Whenever life is hopeless or the world forgot you, just look around yourself -friends always stay beside you. This song is very beautiful and Ralph Mc Tell has done very well. I love his powerful voice and his relaxed music. thank you so much for ur song

@parkershif It’s true that we cannot help all these people, but the least we can do is to give, to share and to do what we can for them, and more importantly to treat them as equal with respect to their human dignity. These people do not want pity from anyone. What they want is to be one of us in this society, and we should treat them as such. Rich or poor, we are all equal in the eyes of God.

Salvus967!! I agree with you my friend!! My Son is a druggie, all he does is lie and steal to feed his habit!! I love him as my Son, but i wish he ws gone, outta my life!!! However, as a Father, i cant do that, i love him too much, and to let him go to the streets, would be too much for me! I keep hoping for the miracle that will never come, but that`s not on the horizon! I only hope there IS a God, He see`s my Son, and he takes pity on him. Please help him, somebody!!!
