Story Behind The Song

About the death of My Kitten and the newton child Killings I loved this Critter..he was sick with a cold when we brought him home.( he sat on my belly day and night.we got him well and he began to play like a kitten for only a week..then he stopped and My women took him in and they had to put him down due to a cat disease called FIP..she called from the vet..i had to make the decision on the Phone after hearing the details of what be a slow demise if we didn't give him relief..He sure he would of been a big cat and I think fondly of him sitting on my belly as this huge orange animal..the rest about the kids I don't want to explain except none of the parents will get over that..and there lives will be filled with just that happening..no matter what the Future brings ..there lives will be that day

Lyrics

Who knew this day would come
So soon then it be gone

And id be left with this the sorrow of a thousand Fathers

They say move on forget
Cant say its happened yet

Like the chance we never met-together

like all this grief and alcohol

just like a stumbling giant waiting Hoping for a fall


Chorus-TIME TO LIVE WITHOUT THIS BROKEN HEART
BUT EVEN THESE WORDS STILL REMIND ME

THIS SHATTERED SKIN DESERVES ANOTHER START-
AND ILL WATCH THE ROAD UNWIND BEHIND ME -now....

They've said to get away you have to go away

But that doesn't mean the troubled don't follow

They say move on forget
Cant say its happened yet

stones through from breaching the sorrow

what helps a shorted soul stand tall

must be the Heavy hearted- praying for us all

And the actor Played her part she did

The actor played....









chorus

Cool retro vibe with a tip of the hat to Elvis C. Unique chord changes make this track stand out... that and the vocal performance. Performances are all spot on with guitar/bass interplay standing out.

I can't tell if there are two guitars playing rhythm with different chorus/verb/delay/flange(?) effects or if it is a percussion instrument in the rhythm part. Interesting.
I felt the bass part was a touch busy in a couple parts: playing 3 or 4 notes where 2 would do...the extra notes detracted from the feel of the song for me for just a second.
I really, really like the mix. THe trashy hi hat part panned hard right caught my ear in a good way. Also the chord movement at the "waiting for the fall" part...
THe guitar break at ~2:43 could be a touch louder...or not. I just feel I have to write something.......LOL!
Nice work. I like it!
