Pete Ham Lonely - Badfinger Tribute

Pete Ham Lonely. A tribute to, and inspired by.......
Pete Ham of Badfinger.
Photos - Caterina Murino.
Words & Music by Russ Tyler.

I know what you're feeling love
Don't know what to say
What it tells about our love
When you look away

So take my hand, take my heart
What else can I say but
Take my love, take my hope
Take it all away
Take the smile, take the kiss
Take away the touch
So if you wish, go ahead, baby take it all

I know what you're thinking love
My mind is all 'round you
If I've given all my love
What else can I do?

So take my hand...

No one said that it'd be easy
With the darkness comes the frost
Now I'm Pete Ham lonely
& I'm lost

So take my hand...

'PETE HAM LONELY', with strings - is now available on itunes.

[eartant]

This isn't a song by Pete Ham, it just has his name in the title, correct?

[russtyler]

True, that's very correct, yes.

[Gammaflat]

To be fair... Pete was "best in class". His "magic" mesmerized those who bothered to listen. Russ bothered to listen. Nice work.

[zedxxx9]

Nice. Would love to hear the definitive final version one day. Definitely in the Pete Ham vein. :-)

And yes... who is the woman?

[Xirobebito]

the woman I believe is Caterina Murino. She played the babe on the beach in Quuantum of Solace

[arrusa69]

i have no idea who's this lady but she's so beatiful!

@russtyler Thank you, Russ, a beautiful song honoring the Great Pete Ham

[nowisfine]

Such talent....I recall wearing out 45's of Badfinger with my cousins and have always had intense memories listening to their music....- perhaps it was a result of my keeping those fine fthoughts of what could be, pure and intact for myself by ignoring (selfishly) Pete Ham's and BFinger's downfall. Like Jeff Beck, they KNEW how to make less notes ..BE MORE ! ???...lol.....tight sounds sound easy, but that's the talent making it seem easy. ...an honest musician denied his art.

I was in a badfinger mood and found a gem.....beautiful song ,Russ

[tripleJ1955]

Who is that incredibly gorgeous, exotically beautiful dark haired woman?

Great song, btw.

[ZinkOrbie]

I'd like to hear this song fleshed out with a full band. It's really nice. The EQ here is just a bit harsh.

[ishiyama333]

Great ! This IS a tribute to Pete Ham !

I like not only the words and melody but your sweet voice which almost sounds as if John Lennon sung this song.

Nice work Russ...and the lady certainly adds frosting to the cake.
