Footprints, also known as Footprints in the Sand, is a popular allegorical text written in prose.
"Footprints" was the fifth and final single released from Squeeze's seventh album, Babylon and On.
Footprints is a jazz standard composed by Wayne Shorter, first appearing on his 1965 album Adam's Apple.
Whilst in 6/4 metre, it is debatable whether it could be called a jazz waltz, since the feel could be divided into compound duple or simple triple time.
Harmonically, it takes the form of a 12-bar C minor blues, but this is heavily masked not only by its triple time signature but by its avant garde turnaround (series of chords that return back to the main, or I chord).
The best-known recorded version is on the 1966 Miles Davis album Miles Smiles.
