Richie Sambora | Forgiveness Street | AOTL Outtake | 2012

[@hAnD90]

Another moment of a lost conversation A chance to understand, then passing us by Careless words and a wounded situation In our silence it's a struggle to survive Please meet me on the other side Don't be afraid to cross On the corner of compassion, shattered streetlight in the dark When faith is lost and wandering in your lover's heart Drops of sidewalk desperation, collected at your feet An unlocked house is waiting, at the end of Forgiveness Street Faded polaroids of my regrets, and my memories I never thought would last In a box I kept them underneath my bed, but the pain was running deeper than the past It was supposed to stay unopened That's where I got hurt On the corner of compassion, shattered streetlight in the dark When faith is lost and wandering in your lover's heart Drops of sidewalk desperation, collected at your feet There's an unlocked house that's waiting, at the end of Forgiveness Street I found my way home to that house of forgiveness street Tired of carrying the pain from dragging that cross Someone stole all the signs that led to forgiveness street I'm broken inside, so here I am, still standing all alone On the corner of compassion, shattered streetlight in the dark Where faith is lost and wandering in your lover's heart Drops of sidewalk desperation, collected at your feet There's an unlocked house that's waiting, at the end of Forgiveness Street Of Forgiveness Street

How this track was never released still baffles me to this very day, it is brilliant yet it wasn't even included on Aftermath of the Lowdown!

I remember when the record leaked before the launch, this song was one highlight track for me. I was surprised when it wasn't included in the album's official track list. Another great song from AOTL.

Yesterday i was quite sad and when i've opened a playlist i found this song which i had listened to only once before that day and i didn't even liked it) But this time it made me a strange effect. Great song!

The song Heartfelt LOVE is beautiful

Just happened to be here when this popped up. Hope everyone else gets a chance to hear it.

Nagyon szép a dal.

This has the same type of vibe as Seven Years gone has and I love it

[@unclebozo9845]

One of my favorite RS solo tracks alongside Seven Years Gone, One Light Burning, One Last Goodbye, and the title track off Undiscovered Soul. YT compression seems to have done a number to this upload unfortunately...

I love this one

[@DTBAMPSPC]

One of my Favs from Aftermath... would have take World out and put this one instead. Thanks Dom

I love this. I wonder what the thought process is whenever an artist has to cut stuff... especially when there's room on the media for more music. I *do* know why there's bonus tracks for other countries outside the US (to entice them to buy locally instead of online from the US) but, and this is opinion, I've heard so many bonus tracks and b-sides or even completely abandoned songs (like this one) that never see the light of day.

There's some behind the scenes work on this track here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYjLpXxsmMyGb5I

interesting!

I have a high quality version of this song, was the leaked version different from the album version at all?

[@hAnD90]

That song wasn't on the album at all, it only was in the leaked bulk of songs. I honestly don't remember if there were differences in the rest of the album. If so, they were only marginal.
