I have conflicting thoughts about this...good ones, don't worry! I feel it's about servicemen returning home from conflict and struggling to find their way back to normality. So deep.
Server about to get a trio recording? I'd love to hear it.
As most writers will say "its open for your own thoughts."
When I wrote the initial song title that sparked the idea, it was the time frame when it seemed like all the childhood heroes we had (music film etc..) were dying off or killing themselves. All in about 3 months we lost Chris Cornell, Robin Williams and seems like 4 or 5 others. Not to mention a fall from grace, IE Bill Cosby and some of the others.
So when this got put down it was about the ones you looked to to make you feel better, and have as a role model. The ones we put on the pedestal, and then we found out they were fallible and as imperfect as anyone else. That unsung hero you could reach out for, that shoulder to cry on.
I must give my new friend, running buddy and vocalist Paul his credit, and of course my writing partner JETS.
This song has been unfinished since about 2012. I came up with the hook and the 2 verses. Then it just sat. I met Paul and he was "All In" on working it, and he wrote the 3rd verse. At the same, time I wrote Jets, and told him what we were doing and asked him to write a verse also if he could. I figured between the two, we could get 1. Both were great. Jets tied it all up with his 4th verse,
BTW the TRIO wont have Jets in it as location and lack of editing skills. It will be myself, Paul and my son Cory on drums. We would love to find a bass and lead guitarist.If I can get a bit of a multi track, maybe I can send it to Jerome to add bass. Or just get him to haul his butt up to my house! lololol
