​Robert Wagner of Little Wretches delivers another song that makes you think about bigger issues. Issues bigger than you and me.
Back Stage Pass News liked this song enough to put on hot topics. All of my Friends is an Acoustic song that gets you lost in lyrics and imagery. Enjoy the ride and let us know what you think of it below.  Download it from Spotify today.  

Folk music with an edge
Songwriter Wagner has stories to tell and experiences to recount. He does so very eloquently with his songwriting. All of My Friends takes you on a short journey where the meek are easily oppressed.  Someone has to speak up for them and he does so in this song. The production is simple and the message is clear to the listener. However, that message can and will mean different things to different people.  

I can see Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islanm),  and Bob Dylan and Joan Baez  hanging out with this guy over some beers and conversation. Below is a quote from Wagner about why he does what he does. 
“My songs are mirrors, and I often begin or end my performances by playing a version of The Velvet Underground’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror” extended to more than ten-minutes in length to include some of the images that most shaped my view of the world as a young man—working men and women enslaved in pursuit of the dollar, the now-vacant void from whence the spirit fled filled with the distraction of mindless entertainment, alcohol and assorted drugs, people so numb that self-destructive violence has lost its impact and the only way they can hope to feel anything is to hurt the people they love...God wanted me to grow up to defend the weak and vanquish the evil- doers by writing songs and telling stories. And if I’m wrong, I’ve wasted my life.”  - Robert Wagner
