On Dtube: Cover of "Somebody's Baby" by Jon Foreman
Migrating over to dtube! Still on the bubble about dtube, but frustrated enough with YouTube that it's worth getting more videos up here.
This is a beautifully sad song about the humanity of each person - it has always stayed with me. It isn't perfect but I think I was able to capture it.

Lyrics:
"Somebody's Baby" by Jon Foreman
She yells, "If you're homeless sure as hell you'd be drunk
Or high or trying to get there or begging for junk
When the people don't want you
They just throw you money for beer"
Her name was November
She went by Autumn or Fall
It was 7 long years since the Autumn when
All of her nightmares grew fingers and
All of her dreams grew a tear
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still
She screams, "Well if you've never gone it alone
Well then go ahead you better throw the first stone
You got one lonely stoner
Waiting to bring to her knees"
She dreams about heaven, remembering hell
As the nightmare she visits and knows all too well
Every now and again, when she's sober, she brushes her teeth
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still
Today was her birthday, strangely enough
When the cops found her body at the foot of a bluff
The anonymous caller this morning tipped off the police
They got her ID from her dental remains
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
The birth and the death were both over
With no one to grieve
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still
She's somebody's baby still

This is the first time I'm hearing this song. Beautiful, haunting melody..The chorus part sounds amazing. What a sad story... and the way you delivered it was truly moving.
Such a sad and beautiful song! Thank you again for listening :)
Beautiful as always :) If you're on the fence about DTube, have you considered streaming with OBS and live shows with DLive? I think you'd do well there. Some other musicians like @drkent have been doing it and doing very well with it. https://dlive.io/@drkent - Just a thought.
A great idea! It's hard to do too many different things, but if there would be a way to get traction there, it would be awesome to have a new place to explore. I'll look into it! Thanks :)
Great help about the Dlive tip. I think it's a best option for now (a bit faster, among other things), although I might post to dtube once in a while yet. Thanks!
Yeah, Dlive seems to be a little more useable. I've tried both too, and I find myself liking DLive more. I'm glad you checked it out 😀
Lovely tone and cool song, you are good with the guitar also. I do like the song @kayclarity
Glad you enjoy!
