Seasick Steve - Purple Shadows 

This stuff is 1000000xs better than anything pop stars are putting out now days.

Purple Shadow is my personal life song and is part of my tattooed sleeve. This song has helped me through the tough times after a separation. Thank you Steve, for bringing it into my life. ❤️

he has such a warm voice :) I love it!

How does he do it...yes indeed. Steve is unique. When I have a bad day, Steve his music and humor gets me out it

I started listening to John Hartford and this came on while I was cleaning house. I ran across the house tripping over my poor dog so that I could like this song. Soulful and beautiful.

To me, this version is so much more than the cd!! What a beautiful voice ... this man has a Soul.

Them purple shadows Fall across And they soften Everything they touch And they give me A place to hide And the moonlight All around Surely gonna wash These troubles down And cool the awful burningness Of love I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness Yeah, the burningness Oh, the burningness Yeah, the burningness We will cool down The awful burningness Of love I hear your echo On the run Them damn tears They start to come And they will dry me up And I'll simply Blow away But while I'm blowin' In the wind Surely gonna feel again Your soft skin And remember The awful burningness Of love I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness Yeah, the burningness Oh, the burningness Yeah, the burningness We will cool down The awful burningness Of love And the moonlight All around Surely gonna wash These troubles down And cool the awful burningness Of love I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness Yeah, the burningness Oh, the burningness Yeah, the burningness We will cool down The awful burningness Of love We will cool down The awful burningness Of love

Steve is a real poet. He's gotten me through some darker times.

top!!!!!!!!! respect man

I don't remember seeing such simple raw authenticity in a musician in too long a time -if ever. I can't believe i never saw this man before yesterday. Thanks youtube.

Just found SeasickSteve last night at bedtime and finally getting to listen to his songs today. So very in love. Wow..

fantastic....love it....can't wait fo more stuff from Steve.....

Seasick has more talent than most musicians. just about everyone you or I know play six string guitars. Steve adapted his style to single, double and three stringed instruments how many others do you know that can do that and make it sound fantastic

Never has a gentleman of a certain age been so dam cool. How does he do it?

just heared a beautiful song.thank you

C, e, F, G, a, Chords of this song if you wanna play this , so simple and still so great. wow, Im just so impressed what a natural style this guy has, so pure, it touchis the roots in the ground, fathers of our fathers, deep music, both wordwise and musicwise

brilliant. Can't wait for the Roundhouse gig next week.

This guy is perfect, much love and respect

Keep the songs coming Steve . Brilliant.

Anybody know if you can buy this version? The album version isn't as good as his acoustic

Thank you Mr Wold. You really put a smile on my face these days while i listen to,and watches your videos.I can not remember enyone whom have done the same thing as you have to me. You are a true artist,and i love your work.LOL to you. J

Fantastique.

He cannot be out of tune. He is bringing all in his own tune.

Answering myself, here's what i figured out : C Em F G Am G (twice) then F - 355433 - 577555 - F - G - C - G

Say, has anybody analysed the music yet? I'd really like to try this one out myself :)

You're awesome!!! From Russia with love!

Am I the only hearing Bolognese instead of Burningness? Just curious.

Living legend!

In a few moments I hear mister Johnny Cash :)

Unsere Stimmen sind sich sehr ähnlich. Ich kann kein Englisch, tut mir leid. Aber such mal bitte : Rufus Rose "der alte Mann"...mach weiter und Rock,n Roll for ever

Опа! Стив купил себе скучную гитару ))

Sr. Steve Mestre

C'est triste tout ça sans comprendre les paroles..

Good, glad someone bought Steve a real guitar. ;)

What is the story with purple shadows? I saw them today for the first time ever.

I can hear jerry reeds ghost singing this with Steve.

The one ..i would follow without any question

I love this song!

Una guitarra y un tio con talento

this is just... good.

In 1976, he worked with French producer Lee Hallyday and fronted the disco group Crystal Grass.[5] Leach appeared on two Crystal Grass albums released by Philips Records in France, Dance Up a Storm and Ocean Potion, the latter credited to Steve Leach with the Crystal Grass Orchestra. The group also released several singles including "You Can Be What You Dream".

Living legend!

HEY SEASICK STEVE I WROTE YOU A SONG MAN! Everyone should see, Seasick Steve Everyone wants to be, Seasick Steve I've I was as sick and my guitar was as slick I wouldn't be me I'd be Seasick Steve

❤️❤️❤️

This is Beautiful

просто 27 человек поставившие дизлайк больше любят dog house boogie Just 27 people who put the dislike - more like "dog house boogie" I hope

sorry, I used the L word quite hastily. You're a really nice girl n'all but I don't love you. Hopefully in the future we can still be friends. But if you need space, I'm totally okay with that

Steve is there a way to get you to come to the southern tier of new York I know some people that we could get you a awesome venue to play you would love it!!!!!

and would get any anwers

Steve man you are kick ass hope you can make it to St.Louis soon man. Offbroadway would be perfect for ya man. The StL would be grateful.

Who the hell would down vote this?

Love it!!!

I was expecting something like blue shadows on the trail. but i suppose this has a certain burniness to it. kinda sultry and smoky. Like Sweet baby Rays, liquid smoke, cayenne and habanero.

Realmente, ótimo!

Yeahhh! Seasick Steve😄👏👍 from Turkey Republic💖😊✌

@izzy to some people you appear as an ant until they learn how to fly and join you in the sky :-) Peace my friend, some people can't tell the difference between a comment and an attack.. I wonder what these people would do if something really bad happened to them... I bet Seasick Steve would be far less happy with the responses you got than your comment.. People scream about freedom on the web to express themselves and don't realise that these responses and trolling are the very thing that will kill the freedom to express... When a watering hole fills with predators, pretty soon no one else but predators is left behind...

I agree while the instrument an artist uses has some effect it is nothing compared to the heart and soul or just the flat out amazing voice that musicians use!

i miss nord amerika ...musste zurueck,

Good song Seasick Steve. Enjoyed hearing a bit more of your country side.

Done :) Just need to wait for ultimate guitar to review it, so it should be up in a couple of days. I had to try and work out the lyrics too so they might not be too accurate.

I swear I thought he's singing something like "...burning this" hahaha I need to improve my listening skills! haha

He's come in France for you're concert is very grand artist. (sorry for my english language xD)

My favorite

best songs come from life experience and heartache steve knows the hard knocks he's more than gold he's eternal...

Perfect uncle Steve!

I love this bloke. The first time i knew of him was on Top Gear UK. Great talented man

a versão de estúdio é ainda melhor. o vocal feminino em dueto deixa a melodia ainda mais bela.
