Tony – This is the story of a Mother, a Daughter, a Sister, a Girl, who finds herself in a downward spiral working the streets. She wants to break free of the circle but ultimately it consumes her, a child is left at home watching out the window for his Mother who will never come home again… The song is the story, in the music I tried to capture the feel both of the tragedy and the all consuming world she found herself in. The vocals are meant to draw you in. I hope you can hear it and feel it. On a wider canvas the story can relate to any human condition from which there seems to be no escape, poverty, despair, addiction. Hopefully by identifying where we find ourselves we can do something to bring about change, but not always easy by any means.
Joe - I love Tony’s sinister sounding riff in this. The lyrics tell a good but, I suppose , common tale.
