Well I've finally gotten around to finishing the song and writing it into a rock ballad like I'd always imagined it. Many people have told me it was the greatest song I've written and its hard to live up to anything better when you've been told that. I hope some day I can out do that song.

But it brings back a lot of memories of picture bleeds paint, the parties, the people, my friends, the things i was doing then, and of course my brother bart whom the song was written for.

the first version was the acoustic version released on picture bleeds paint's only album it was roughly 1:40 long and everyone said its great but too short, and i just said, well its just like his life, so its fine the way it is.

But then i decided to write a conclusion...to how it had changed me, how some things would never change and of course the grand finale...with an expressive and intuitive guitar solo pressing my once abrasive yet cherished memories along with dormant emotions into the notes.

I think though some things in the song weren't up to my standards quite, many close friends of mine that i asked said that it sounded great. when it comes to my voice i'm extremely self critical, which is necessary for every artist, otherwise there'd be no restraint.

its the first song on the player please enjoy and give me feedback if you have time
