really love this song, Chris! the strings and piano are perfect accompaniment to your guitar/voice...!!! :)

Very beautiful and uplifting song Chris, wonderful music with your great guitar playing and love you sincere and warm vocals :)

All richly acoustic, warm and wonderfully created and captured, Chris. Excellent job on your tune and a luscious mix by Gate 57 and Christian and his Crew! Thanks for posting, My Friend. :D Very much enjoyed listening again....somehow I think I had heard this one before....perhaps??? :D

I can relate to this Chris....it's sad,but beautiful and your guitar playing and vocals are superb - the lyrics are from your heart and somewhere....Peace :))

Oh this is wonderful, reminds me of Buffalo Springfield, you've got a lovely neil youish tone here. Really fine song, love it.

Thinking about that line I heard before 'where you here when my father died'......yeah, recognizable (except that it was my mother)

This version of "Can You Really Carry Me" has some beautiful instrumentation added by Gate57. I could not decide which version of the song to keep posted on SC so I will just post both versions. Great! ... one less decision to make ;) I hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics: 
When I'm hurting and I'm all alone ... 
And I need You by my side 
Do You hear me when I'm praying hard ... 
Do You know how hard I've tried

Can You really carry me 
Can You really carry me

Were You with me when my father died ... 
Were You on the other side 
Are You with me when I feel the pain ... 
Do You know how hard I've cried

Can You really carry me 
Can You really carry me

Are You with me when I'm feeling lost ... 
And I don't know where to go 
Can You help me plot a worthy course ... 
And how will You let me know

Can You really carry me 
Can You really carry me 
Can You really carry me 
Can You really carry me

Always Introspective

About me: 
I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. I'm a singer-songwriter as I enjoy writing my own songs most. I play acoustic guitar and the harmonica. My style of music is Contemporary Folk and Singer-Songwriter. The decade of music that most influenced my music taste is the 70's. Most influenced by Neil Young.  

I like to write songs from the heart. I want to express how I feel about past experiences, about current events, and just about anything else that really moves me in some meaningful way.  I hope that you "feel" what my songs are about too when you listen to them.
