STEREO VERSION!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Earle and John Fern collab. Hey Steve, if you ever hear this, I hope you like it! (Please don't sue me.)Lyrics:I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way And there was nothin' anyone could do or say And I almost listened to him Yeah, I almost lost my mind Then I regained my senses again And looked into my heart to find That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again But I still find some comfort now and then Then the storm comes rumblin' in And I can't lay me down And the drums are drummin' again And I can't stand the sound But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem And there'll be no barricades then There'll be no wire or walls And we can wash all this blood from our hands And all this hatred from our souls And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

This is absolutely incredible !! Great video work and a great sound too !!

Thanks so much!! That's some great feedback! I use a split screen extension on movie maker. You should have seen my wife's face when I was dragging the table over to a wall so it would look close to Steve's video. I should have left well enough alone, but I added the water bottle and it really didn't work with Steve's water at all. I did some others with Paul McCartney and Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams too.

How cool is this??? How did you do that? You are a YT genius. Your harmonies are so folky and add a completely different dimension to this wonderful song. 15 stars.. no kidding... 16 maybe...

Thanks again, John! If only I could have kept the head of his guitar from dissapearing. You should have seen my wife's face when I was dragging the table over to the far kitchen wall so I could get Steve's table and ours to match.

I actualy love coming back to add some additional comment, then I get to here you again!! lolI just wanted to add, that the line "I don't remember learning to hate in Sunday School"is just....well...you know...

Hi John. I honestly believe that Steve is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation!!!His lyrics blow me away, and he has a way with a melody that is incredible!!!( I hope he doesn't sue you)This is just incredible John!!!!

Thanks Lost! I appreciate that! When I saw the original with him sitting at a table, I knew this had possibilities. I've loved Steve's music ever since I first heard him back in '88 I think. Not unlike yourself, the guy has soul.

Hey John,This is really good man. One of my all time favorite SE songs (and I'm a huge fan.)If he hears this you might get invited to do a duet with him on his next album (allthough he usually likes to do duets with beautiful women...)But don't worry about getting sued, my friend.

Thanks Rob, and I think you're right about that. If I had known the bottles wouldn't have matched well, I would have ditched mine altogether.
