Streetsleeper (A Charity Song for the Homeless)

by Sam Barbour

/

about

Streetsleeper is the sixth single by Scottish singer-songwriter Samuel Alexander Barbour released on the 30th November, 2019.

Based in Hong Kong since 2007, Samuel has built up a successful career as an experienced and well respected primary English school teacher. He combines his love of writing original songs & stories with his love of teaching youngsters and thus far the results have been far several award-winning school drama productions and children's songs and a lifetime of happy memories!

Most recently in October, 2019, Samuel won the Best Children's Song Award at the Clouzine International Music Awards for his Peter-Pan inspired debut single, Far Across the Night Sky. The song also reached number #37 on the top 40 chart of April's Scottish New Music Global Chart. The title track of his debut 5-song EP, Hope (Love Never Dies) also reached number #32 in the November, 2019 chart respectively.

Since the release of the EP on the 8th March, 2019, all five songs have received radio airplay across the world from Hong Kong to Scotland, England, Canada, South Africa, Australia & the USA respectively totalling nearly 60 individual plays.

Samuel wrote Streetsleeper heavily influenced by seeing homeless people firsthand whilst travelling in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong and was moved to try to write a song for the 'people with no voice' without any bias or prejudice towards them or their situation. Influences include Gerry Rafferty, James Taylor, Paul Simon & Ralph McTell.

Samuel is also delighted to announce that he will be performing the song live at The World's Big Sleep Out at Central Harbourfront, Hong Kong on the 7th December (which also happens to be his birthday!). 100% of all proceeds from this song (streams/sales/downloads) will be donated to two registered charities for the homeless, namely The Social Bite (50%) in his beloved city of Edinburgh and ImpactHK in his beautiful adopted home of Hong Kong. He really hopes that you can purchase the song for this good cause. Together we can eradicate the awful disease of homelessness affecting millions of people across the world each day and night.

Written in February, 2019 and recorded in Scotland in August later in the year. The track was produced by Stephen Bull & mastered by Pete Maher. All music and lyrics by Samuel Alexander Barbour. Copyright 2019. All Rights Reserved.
