Lyrics:
She got the long hair running down
See her on the street downtown
I don’t think she even knows
She’s spending all the money in the bank
Give her dad a heart attack
I don’t think she even knows

She got the secret smile, that she saves
Kind that drives the clouds away
I don’t think she even knows
She got the tiny hoops, glasses on
YSL, silk chiffon
I don’t think she even knows

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

I got the kind of love that makes you cry
Think about her all the time
I don’t think she even cares
I’m saving all the money that I have
Just so I can stand a chance
I don’t think she even cares

She got that pretty face, blue eyes
Clothes that seem to fit just right
I don’t think she even cares
I got nothing left up my sleeve
Got me down on my knees
I don’t think she even cares

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

There she goes
There she goes
There she goes again
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes again

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

Courage is Reborn in Hearts Forlorn

Eternally Blessed

Written for my brother, a lion a kindness, who showed me what it is to be truly loved. 

I wrote Joe, in an attempt to describe my grief, but grief really is impossible to describe, everyone’s relationship with it is unique and so very intricate in its outpouring and implosion. You can’t know it until it lands at your door. 

To try and convey the depths of grief, the picture of it, what it is truly like, it’s visceral manifestation, you can’t, you really can’t, nor can it ever really be truly understood. But I really, had in a natural way, wanted to try to with this song. 
Untimely bereavement grief means a life and family are left incomplete, unfinished, there is no solution. Not even close to having had enough laps around the sun, woken to a new day. There is no resolution. 

It’s now been over 6000 days and nearly 17 years since Joe came home and my hope in sharing the days, was that it might make people to see just why it pulls you apart, as it has, me. But also, I wanted to sing out loud just how much I love Joe, that too, like grief is infinite.

Joe my big bro is/was/will always be a lion of kindness, compassionate, selfless, he took notice of the little things, and a joy-giving ball of smiles, calming hugs and giggly shoulders. As kind strangers as to his friend’s or family. He showed me what love is, what it means to be truly truly loved, he was our protector. He showed what it is to live with adventure at hand and a giggle in the other. An honest man, only barely a man at 21.

This album has a substantial focus on loss and trying to move beyond it.

این موسیقی رو همیشه با صدای مامانم شنیده بودم. حتی اون موقع‌ها نمی‌دونستم خواننده‌ش کیه. چند روز پیش دوباره به گوشم خورد و همه‌ی خاطرات قدیمی برگشت.
این نسخه‌ی ساده و آروم رو فقط برای مرور همون لحظه‌ها گرفتم 🦋🌈💚
