38

If you were lucky enough to hear Nick's new song 38 on this tour, I don't know what you think of it, but I personally can't get enough of it. It has become the one I am most eager to hear each show. The emotion and vocal heights he reaches on the chorus send shivers down my spine.

 

Yeah, i like it a lot. Maybe it could be his next single... Free download of course! :biggrin:

 

Heard this top tune at Runcorn, Nick considers his songs to be living breathing things so to give birth to yet another quality tune is testament to his writing talent. In addition a large part of this is the way he delivers a song, looking forward to a new album with similar gems!

 

Am going to check the lyrics to 38, as looking at what was posted in the Chester thread there were a few ? in some places.

 

Don't forget that this is currently work in progress by Nick and is bound to evolve as time moves on.

 

I think I may know that.:biggrin:

But I did get the third verse - I knew there were kings horses and kings men in there somewhere.

 

Latest: this is as best I recall from last night at Cambridge. Having a few mishaps (such as dropping phone into 3 pieces down behind seats in front of me along with notebook - don't ask!:biggrin meant memory, rather than a lot of notes.


I walked the streets
Like a man with no name
Into the bar before the show
but on another plain
As the faces turned my way
I narrowed my eyes
Like I'd met my maker
But I did not die
There'll be no gunflare
No widow's cry
But there's an undertaker
somewhere nearby

Wherever I go
Whatever my fate
I am one
of the thirty eight
of the thirty eight

I'm in the house of the Lord
but it seems colder within
Though it's filled with the voices
of the cherubim
And in the tiny houses
with the lights on inside
Where the little devils
play seek and hide
with the bigger picture
There's a world out there
so what can be your troubles?
What are your cares?

Wherever I go
Whatever my fate
I am one
of the thirty eight
of the thirty eight

Whatever I do
whatever awaits
I am one
of the thirty eight

We'll drink to the children
We'll drink to the poor
We'll drink all through Christmas
And we'll put the world to rights again
with all the king's horses
and all the king's men

Wherever I go
Whatever my fate
I am one
of the thirty eight
of the thirty eight

 

So who are the 38 of whom Nick is one?

 

The 38 Westerners in the Everest Rocks climbing party :biggrin:

 

There's 16 secs here from Chester. Hope Nick doesn't know!:biggrin: It's inevitable I suppose these days that everything ends up here on You Tube at some point. I know that at least 3 people have the whole song on vid :wink: including me, but this wasn't ours.

WHY oh WHY ? What a waste of time ... what is the point in putting 16 seconds of video on youtube ?! If anyone sees that who doesn't know about Nick's music ... it's just going to put em off for life !!

 

Good point, Mr Chris.

It was interesting though reading through the comments made to the various vids up there. Gives a feel of what people are thinking.
