Got to know this Song a few years ago when i lived in El Paso for a year to play hockey. Still get goosebumps when i hear it. Became my favorite Song by one of the most talented artists!!
You wrote this at 14 huh? I can't tie two words together at 57. I'm not bitter about it...not at all. The muses hit whom they will. Glad that I can follow your in your travels.
I was told long ago that you'd learn more on a building site than you would in school, I don't know who's to know in El Paso. Friday nights the floodlights you'd hear us roar, sing the town till we die then our throats went sore, we have grown on the road to El Paso. Photographs on your mantelpiece they fade Sitting at some bus stop in the pouring rain In your mind things that you've seen Now the shoe is on the other foot, how does that feel? If you wanna go I'll take you there, feel the rain on your face in the morning air Let's go back, take me back to El Paso You go around with your tie and your briefcase With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space Take me back, take me back to El Paso Oh take a walk, take a walk down the echo road I'll be waiting don't you know i'll be waiting. And if you wanna go I'll take you there, feel the rain on your face in the morning air Take me back, let's go back to El Paso You go around with your tie and your briefcase With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space Take me back, take me back, take me back let's go back to El Paso, to El Paso, to El Paso, to my El Paso.
Listened to this twice and then watched the video just now. A myriad of emotions going through me, that little white feather, the rays of sunshine….can’t wait to hear this live David. Many thanks ✨
Every detail poignant, visually. Not to be crude - I think this video brought me more satisfying chills than the audio… said the fan of this epic voice, and the admirer of the grounded and transcendent sound of his. #poet
Just checked in by phone with my wife to ascertain if she had yet risen....yes i have been up since 10 to 6 when i heard David Keenan singing in my bathroom, he sounded very jolly.....probably her best alarm call in a while mind you.
Much love from Lilywhites USA
The song is and will forever be Dundalk⚫️⚪️
Resonates with us all i in the Dundalk/Ireland forcefield! What a fkn choone.
Rising ⭐ this guy and you heard it first! 1️⃣☝️🤘

David, it has been long overdue for the official version! Thanks for all your music and much love from Edinburgh.
This is a song I needed. I’ve been wanting to start over and get my life together lately. This about captures that spirit. Wonderful poetry
Absolutely bloody brilliant, love that you've reclaimed this as your own and seeing such genuine joy on your face in the video is great. Pure class,

Photographs on your mantelpiece they fade
Sitting at some bus stop in the pouring rain
In your mind things that you've seen
Now the shoe is on the other foot, how does that feel?
If you wanna go I'll take you there, feel the rain on your face in the morning air
Let's go back, take me back to El Paso
You go around with your tie and your briefcase
With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space
Take me back, take me back to El Paso
Oh take a walk, take a walk down the echo road I'll be waiting
don't you know i'll be waiting.
And if you wanna go I'll take you there, feel the rain on your face in the morning air
Take me back, let's go back to El Paso
You go around with your tie and your briefcase
With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space
Take me back, take me back, take me back let's go back
to El Paso, to El Paso, to El Paso, to my El Paso.
Looking forward to hearing the song, and many more, at Kilkenny Roots Festival on 30th April.

The song that introduced me to you. What an amazing journey you have been on. Keep on keeping on.
Does it get any better?
Simple answer...NO
So stoked to see this be brought back to life!
