An achingly beautiful story, on a day that is painful for many people, for a variety of reasons, and My Crows is the perfect inspiration/companion.

The song drove the story

There is no greater lonliness than for a person who is empty.

Mental illness is something I can see but I do not pretend to understand.

The irony is that one can be lonely in the midst of their own posse.

Nice job introducing a new (to me) song.

It's not my favorite writing work, but it served its purpose. Thanks Joe

There are many examples in history of an author composing a piece which he considered "not my favorite" which history treated as seminal.

A lesson I have learned is to never dismiss my role in an event as it may have meant the world to someone else.

I definitely remember and cherish a song my band basically threw together because I had one of many tantrums about not producing enough new material. The song ended up being our set opener for years.

Great story, but I don't see a link to the song anywhere. Am I just clueless?

Two of my favorite things. Especially in the throes of personal frustration.
