Yes, that is David Bowie’s famous ‘Soul Love’ beat you can hear under this song. As mentioned before, I often loop a straight forward beat and write a song over the top. Usually I go back and re-record the drums once I am finished. However, not in this case.

‘Stranger’ is one of the oldest tracks I have posted from my vault. It is another one of my travel songs that dates back to about 2000 or 2001. To be honest I have barely listened to this one since I recorded as it didn't do anything for me at the time. Still doesn't.

The sound quality is OK, not great. Then again it was supposed to be a demo / guide track.

The lyrics are pretty typical of that period of time for me. Actually, the opening line was a play on that old Irish blessing which was a nice touch I think.

Anyway, I think this song is pleasant enough for what it is.

Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS...

Well the road may rise / the road may fall
When you live life as a stranger
I want to lay down baby at your door
But I feel a sense of danger / I feel a sense of danger

Well I drift on through your country side
But it doesn’t really matter
If I ever make it out of this city alive then I’m one hell of an actor
One hell of an actor

Chasing shadows all my life
See me work the pale moonlight
I’m a stranger / I’m stranger

You’ll never know just who I am
Far away in a foreign land
I’m stranger / I’m stranger

See the kingdoms through the night time - faces by day
But now it is nothing more than a memory
Got a picture to preserve you in my mind
But it don’t keep me company
It don’t keep me company...

I put the blues in my shoes and carry the news
When I live my life as a stranger
I let freedom slip through but now I know what to do
This time I'm going to cage her
I'm going to cage her

Chasing shadows all my life
See me work the pale moonlight
I’m a stranger / I’m stranger

You’ll never know just who I am
Far away in a foreign land
I’m stranger / I’m stranger

Come on...
