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:
Was it you
Was it I
Did I run
Or say goodbye
We were strong
Even I can't deny
Or was it you?
Was it you
Was it I
Is it wrong
To wonder why
We had it all
They say true love never dies
Is it true
And though we're miles apart
You belong to me
And though my heart still cries
You belong
You belong to me
Our love was alive
And it will last forever
We fought to survive
We've always been the same, my love
Now, I'm wishin' and hopin'
For what we had before
On our horizon
A greater love, and more
I never knew
I never tried
To feel the pain
You've held inside
And now you're gone
And is it too late
To reach for you?
And though we're miles apart
You belong to me
And though my heart still cries
You belong
You belong to me
Our love was alive
And it would last forever
We fought to survive
We've always been the same, my love
Now, I'm wishin' and hopin'
For what we had before
On our horizon
A greater love, and more
And though we're miles apart
You belong to me
And though my heart still cries
You belong
'Til the rivers all run dry
You belong to me
