This is a recording I made on my old Boss BR-1180 multitrack recorder. Enjoy!

Michael Sherry - Turtle Shell

I can still remember writing this song, sitting in front of my television in total shock. While the footage of people falling to their death and the moment of impact were repeated, again and again in a terrible loop. The word terrorist began to rise to the surface of my conscious then, where it would float for a decade. Many words were given power that day.
Only a senor in Highschool at the time, I knew nothing of deception. I also had never known doubt or fear with such intimacy as I soon would. What began as a sad day, has continued for 10 years now. It has taken us into the Middle East, where we have continued to make even more enemies. It has given our military the funds to develop weapons, while simultaneously making our schools destitute. 30 kids to a teacher on one end and trillions of dollars spent creating more death on the other. And for what? What have we really achieved? Nothing.
It is time we stop. There is no longer any need for war.
