about

“A friend showed up one day with a new pair of shoes at the exact time that I needed them,” explains Van Gold. “They even fit! That was enough inspiration to pick up the acoustic guitar. Over the years this song has become more than just a song about shoes. It’s developed into a mantra of sorts, focus on the positive, look for the good in people, have a happy life.
It has become quite apparent in our lives these days we need to be able to roll with what’s happening, to try on new ways of being, put on new shoes so to speak. Open our eyes, see a new reality.”

lyrics

New shoes showed up on my step one day
an opportunity to play the brave
to look at life in a novel way
hear what others have to say

Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes
Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes

these shoes trot into talking blue
stirring the pot of mocking stew
a Warhol plot of shocking new
a microdot of the cosmic crew

Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes
Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes

you ungloved another side of love
flying above on the breath of a dove
just high enough to fit like a glove
on the hands of my lady love

Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes
Gotta true view of you with my new walking shoes
