In the fall of 2018, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Steve Perry made his long-awaited return with the release of \"Traces\", the legendary musician’s first new album in 25 years. The album’s personal expression of love, inspiration and renewal resonated with both critics and fans around the world, thrilled to have their ‘voice of a generation’ making new music once again.
Now, on \"Traces (Alternative Versions & Sketches)\", Perry revisits several of his favorite tracks, stripping away the grand production touches, taking the songs down to their essence. Presented acoustic and raw, (including some in sketch form) tracks like “Sun Shines Gray,” “No Erasin’,” “No More Cryin’,” and “Most Of All” take on new and richer meaning. In this setting, Perry’s iconic soulful voice glides out-front vibrant, clear and warm while the lyrics take on greater significance as well, even more intimate than before.
Lyrics:
Well she told me that she loved me
That was not so long ago
Love's forsaken and forgotten
On this lost and lonely road
She could heal my complications
Hold me up when I was low, low
That was all so long ago
No more crying
'Cause I won't love again
I won't, no I won't
No more crying
'Cause I won't love again
I won't, I won't, I won't
I'm so free, I need nobody
No more lies, no surprises
No confrontations
It's a peaceful life behind closed doors
In the dark of the night, I start to remember
That was all so long ago
No more crying
'Cause I won't love again
I won't, I won't, I won't
When you told me you really want me
I was all by myself
Oh-ohh, oh-ohh
Then you told me that you loved me
And there is nobody else
No more crying
'Cause I won't love again
I won't, no I won't
No more crying
'Cause I won't love again
I won't, I won't, I won't
Won't, I won't
Won't, won't, won't
I won't, won't, I won't
won't, won't
I won't, won't
I won't
I won't
