Topic: Killing our kids again

I wrote this in response to school shootings years ago !  Phill did an incredible version  - I made it a video - no one seems to pay attention !   Now we have more kids dead and another teacher in BEND OREGON

One of my daughters friends lives there -so scary !

The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it.   - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke

Re: Killing our kids again

Jim the dynamic between you and Phill really elevates the core theme of this track. Instead of just lecturing the audience, you wrapped a strong crucial message in genuine musicality, forcing the listener to actually sit with the lyrics and absorb them. Truly impactful work from both of you. America hangs its rifles like flags and calls the glitter freedom. But a gun in the wrong hands turns one crazy moment into a lifetime of grief.
