Child of the Universe

The song Child of the Universe goes back a long way, this is a 2009 version I really like. The chord progression has remained the same since I first played it 35 years ago on the streets of Manhattan. Back then I played it on a 12-string Epiphone with my guitar case open and a sign that read “Please Help”.

The original lyrics were really goofy except for the one phrase “Child of the Universe”. I later wrote some very meaningful lyrics and always loved the song. A lot of my later music dips into the same chord progression, but this version tries to capture the original essence of warm summer days in Florida with my six-string in hand. I really don’t sing much anymore, but if I did, this song would always remain.
