Lyrics--Dead Man Walking
Words and music (C) 2003, 2012 by Warren Hein

I'm a man with hopeless eyes
A stranded waif you've hypnotized
I can't seem to find the answer
To why you won't come home
I walk downtown I see them stare
I search for you most everywhere
Places we walked hand in hand
Deserted without your love

I'm a dead man walking
A prisoner for your heart
Seeking some forgiveness
I don't know where to start
I don't know where

Convicted but without a trial
I had no chance to prove my alibi
You left without a single word
Houdini would be proud

I'm a dead man walking
A prisoner for your heart
Seeking some forgiveness
But I don't know where
No I don't know where
Clueless just where to start

I'm a live man I'm not dead
I'm a live man I'm not dead
I'm a live man I'm not dead
I'm a live man
I tell myself
I tell myself

Love this ! I was hooked straight from the intro . So many things coming in and out , keeps up the interest until the very end . "Houdini would be proud" is a great line !

Here's a lyrically strong song about a man who lost his "houdini" of a girlfriend...she just disappeared and he can't even ask her for forgiveness. "Evicted without trial". This lyric writer gets 5 stars for originality. Definitely a song that expresses emotions of the love-lorn/love lost creatively.

GOOD VOICE AND ARRANGEMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION , VERY INTERESTING, NICE TASTEFUL GUITAR SOLO AND MELODIC BASS PLAYING,

Hey Warren!! Another good one! Really cool concept and lyric! Arrangement is perfect for the mood of the song, and the singer is awesome.....sounds like he's a Brit? Guitar solo is very melodic and sweet! Do you record your songs? What kind of system?

great tune. love the vocal the style and tone is perfect. the song builds nicely. lyrics are great . like the elctric guitars. song is well produced. its nice to hear folk rock which isnt predictable. would definetley like to hear more from this artist love the contemporary vibe.

Yes, I really enjoyed the way this song builds. Certainly tips the cap to a classic UK sound. Is it too much to say inspired by the late, great Bowie? The vocal is unique and I enjoyed listening to it. I enjoyed the reverb automation on certain lines. The overall picture is extremely original but I hear influences. Excellent job with tempo and the feel of the instruments and originality of the arrangement. The electric guitar tone is absolutely gorgeous. The electric guitar dive bombs are great in the second half/end.

Great verse melody. The arpeggiated run is really cool and hooks the listener. I marked this song pop despite its obvious folk sensibilities because I think its that good. Great hook, definitely has market potential, and the vocalist has a unique and esoteric quality. Reminds me of The Editors at time. The way it builds from start to finish is really cool. I can't wait to download this song.

G'day. Beautiful love song you have created here and recorded it excellently with great vocals and instrumentation (is that you doing all the guitar work?) Good job, mate. Well done.

Great song, I really like the build-up. Was a nice addition when the harmonies came in.

Good sound on the recording, feels very nostalgic. Vocal has a very 60's folk delivery.

It's a good solid song...I'd shop it to radio stations.

Very clear vocals, organ sound unusual, vocals really clear, harmony loved it, you started light but really filled out really nice. Vocal remained really clear even with the harmony. I keep repeating myself because to be able to have a clear vocal with as much background music is an accomplishment not every singer does that. Well done.

I like how the instrumentation develops. Beautiful voice. Smart lyrics. The vocals are crystal clear. The recording and mix is excellent.
