I would like to sincerely thank all those who were kind enough to ask about me during my absence from posting music. I appreciate you! :)

String Quartet IV (into the void I fell, and darkness found me)

This song is written to be a dramatic ballad in an (unwritten) play about a man who was involved in the 1970 anti-war bombing of a building at the University of Wisconsin.  The bombing was not meant to hurt anyone, but a researcher was in the building at the time, and he was killed. The bombers fled, and all were caught except one, Leo Burt. The story in the play imagines that Leo runs away somewhere and has a daughter. When the daughter is about to leave home, he decides to tell her the truth about his past, and to turn himself in. The idea for this comes from the true story of Katherine Ann Power, an anti-war revolutionary at the same time who was involved in a separate killing, and escaped, but eventually turned herself in 20 years later.

I need to talk to you.
What is it Dad?
I know you’re leaving soon, but there’s something that I have
to tell you about, something that I’ve done.

It was so very long ago, it’s hard to understand.
It was such an awful, dirty war, we had to make a stand.

It was late on that Wisconsin August night.
We thought that no one was inside.
The bomb exploded with a giant burning flare.
We smelled that warm and angry air.

But truth came out with light of dawn.
A man was there, his body burned and torn.
Leaving shattered wife, three infants at his home
Our righteous cause now dead and gone.

We fled that day like scattered leaves,
the others caught, but I stayed free.
A shadow life ’til memories would fade.

I found this place, where no one knew.
I changed my name, and then came you.
You’ve changed my life and brought me where I am today.
I’ve done all that I could, now it’s time to face my fate.
A price must now be paid, a penance for that day.

I’ve decided to turn myself in.

That’s a lot to think about. I don’t know what to say.
Why tell me now? You know I’m going away.
I’m scared that years in prison will break you to the bone.
You’ll never be the same again, you’ll be so all alone.

Isn’t it enough, this good life you’ve made for years?
It makes up for that awful day, it puts you in the clear.
Is your life a single moment, or the thousand more that came?
Do you want to be remembered as the one that caused such pain?
Everyone will look at me as if I share the blame.
You say you’ll face your fate, but it’s my fate too at play.
You’ll leave me on my own, you’re not the only one that pays.
You’re not the only one that pays.
You’re not the only one that pays.

I think you’re ready now, you can be strong.
We can keep your secret safe, it’s been so long.
I can’t keep running around in fear.
No one cares anymore, think of me.
I do this for you, can’t you see it’s true?
It’s hard to see what this move will prove.
You must know the reason, you must understand.
I just wish there could be another plan.

You must understand.
You must understand.
I do understand.
I do understand.
