Streets Of Pain

Road Songs and Wanderings / Written 1990 / First released 2025

An English-language anti-war song written during military service, at a moment when relations between East and West seemed to be shifting while the trauma of Vietnam still remained vivid. It follows broken veterans through rejection, mechanized violence and social abandonment, turning political disillusionment into the bitter image of the streets of pain.
