Footsteps 2

"Footsteps 2" is singer/songwriter Chris de Burgh's nineteenth original album. It was released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria on October 14, 2011, and in the UK and Ireland on October 17, 2011.

Footsteps 2 follows the concept that captured the public’s imagination with Footsteps. The album has a couple of new songs, as well as his interpretations of some classic tunes, which include Steve Winwood’s "While You See a Chance", Roy Orbison’s "Blue Bayou", Mike & The Mechanics "The Living Years", Abba’s "SOS", and East German band Karat's "Über sieben Brücken", as "Seven Bridges" with English lyrics by de Burgh.

As de Burgh said upon releasing Footsteps, “Listening to the great songwriters was the inspiration for me to try and become a good songwriter myself,” he says. “I’m talking about the likes of Lennon & McCartney and Bob Dylan; people as good as that just don’t seem to exist any more. I learned my trade, my craft, almost at the feet of the Great Masters. And that is my musical journey. Those songs are my footsteps.”

    Lost Dogs is a two-disc compilation album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on November 11, 2003 through Epic Records. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA in the United States.

    Overview

    Lost Dogs is a double-disc collection of B-sides and other released and unreleased rarities. Lost Dogs sold 89,500 copies in its first week of release and debuted at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 chart. Lost Dogs has been certified gold by the RIAA.

    A number of songs included on Lost Dogs differ from the originally released versions, including "Alone", "U", "Wash", and "Dirty Frank". The album includes the hidden track "4/20/02" at the end of disc two, a tribute to Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley. It was written by vocalist Eddie Vedder during the recording sessions for Riot Act on the day that he heard the news of Staley's death. The song features only Vedder singing and playing the guitar in a ukulele-inspired tuning. According to Vedder, the reason why it was not included on Riot Act was that the band already had too many songs. According to guitarist Mike McCready, the reason the song was only featured as a hidden track on Lost Dogs is because Vedder "wouldn't want it to be exploitative."

    Footsteps (Pop Evil song)

    "Footsteps" is the lead single by American rock band Pop Evil from Up, their fourth studio album.

    Music video

    The video was directed by Swedish director Johan Carlen and was released on August 12 2015.

    Chart performance

    Footsteps peaked at #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, their fourth leader on the list.

    Footsteps 2

    by: Chris De Burgh

    (written by Mac Davies)
    And the snow flies
    On a cold and grey Chicago morn
    A poor little baby child is born
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    And his mama cries
    'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
    It's another hungry mouth to feed
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    People, don't you understand?
    The child needs a helping hand
    Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
    Take a look at you and me
    Are we too blind to see
    Or will we simply turn our heads
    And look the other way?
    And the world turns
    And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
    Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    And his hunger burns
    So he starts to roam the streets at night
    He learns how to steal
    And he learns how to fight
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    Then one night in desperation
    The young man breaks away
    He buys a gun, he steals a car
    He tries to run, but he don't get far
    And his mama cries
    As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
    Face down in the street with a gun in his hand
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    And as her young man dies (in the ghetto)
    On a cold and grey Chicago morn'
    Another little baby child is born
    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
    And his mama cries...
    (In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto...)
