Hi All,
Here is a one take from my porch on a very cold morning. This is Empty Sky by Bruce Springsteen . It’s quite a simple but powerful song and was written shortly after 9/11. There are two theories on what the empty sky refers to, one is the absence from the sky of the twin towers , and the second which is the more popular belief is the absence of planes in the sky on that day due to everything being grounded.
Anyway that’s the backstory to the song…
Thanks for the listen…
im always amazed by people who are able to play AND sing at the same time =D
its was really nice , I enjoyed listening to the video 
I rememeber the event and the song. 
Well sung, and nicely played, good tones as well.
Thank you
Eddie
A great song done very well. Thanks Eddie.
Great, and on top of that, a very pleasant voice 
Hi Eddie
That is impressive especially so for a one take. Greetings from Sunny (at least today)Dublin
Oh I enjoyed that very much!
Eddie
Well played, well sung, well done!
Brian
Eddie, well played and your singing style matches Bruce Springsteen’s mood in the song. Thanks for reminding me that songs can be simple and still be powerful. Well done for a first take.
Hi Eddie,
I just really enjoy those porch gigs I just think the whole ambience works for me. 
This is not a song I knew and have not listened to the original. I’m not really a Springsteen fan but this was a great song really nice vibe, very moody, thought provoking. As I say I don’t know how it is done originally but this version was great, I like the way it was played and the vocal sounded sweet certainly had me hooked.
Well done mate, nice work
Hi Eddie,
Good morning from here ( 8am) …
The coffee machine for my wife is bubbling away while my tea is cooling in front of me and I am very reminded of that terrible moment because of the explanation you wrote.
And for the rest … the song fits great with waking up here and gives a very relaxed mood here in terms of sound and the singing of course 
Greetings
@MacOneill thank You Deborah for the kind words and I am glad you enjoyed the song.
@Ontime thank you Jason for listening and taking the time to comment.
@TheCluelessLuthier Thanks so much Mark.
@Will_E_Vander . Thank you Will and I hope that sunshine lasts in Dublin 
@SteveL_G99 thank you Steve and yes it does go to show that a song doesn’t need to be complex to be powerful.
@mstaniszczak thank you for the kind words Marcin.
@MollyT thank you Molly and i am happy you liked my cover of the song
@beejay56 . Thank you very much Brian.
@CD02 thanks Craig. Sitting on the porch is my favorite place to sit and play guitar. I just find it so relaxing. Unfortunately there have not been many opportunities this winter as it’s been cold as anything. Not a problem for you in sunny Oz . I appreciate the kind words.
@roger_holland thank you Roger, it certainly was a crazy and a very strange day. I hope by reminding you of those events I didn’t spoil the taste of your tea or of your wife’s coffee.
Good job, Eddie, performed with feeling.
Thank you David.
Well played and sung Eddie. Your vocal really suited the song. It’s a very emotive song and one I hadn’t heard before. Well done.
Thanks Gordon. I hadn’t heard it myself until recently and the lyrics immediately grabbed me. I appreciate you checking it out.
Savage Eddie. Love it. Not familiar with the song but you bossed it. Bruce has an unequally mastery of telling a story.
Thanks Dom. It was very simple to learn and just as simple to play but I love when lyrics grab me and Bruce certainly has a way of bringing you into a song.
This is very beautifully played and sung Eddie and conveys much emotion, listening to your covers is always a pleasure…as well a your Originals!
Thank you so much Silvia for the kind words as always.
