Week 15 - Keep Your Name

I had to give my dog away a couple of days ago.  This song is about that.

I've been fighting a pretty bad-ass sore throat for the better part of the last week, so the vocals on this one aren't exactly award-winning.

I don't have much else to say about this song. Admittedly, it's not one of my best, but it does capture something. And that's the point, really, of this whole thing. Just capturing moments in my life...

Hope you get something out of it too.

lyrics
she'll keep your name
and hopefully it'll sound the same
as when i said it too

i'll hide your things
and someday it won't hurt
as when all this was new

if i loved you as much as i wanted to
i'd still have to do
what i have to do
and she'll love you as much as i wanted to

i'll find a way
to make believe it's ok
in all these empty rooms

you'll run and play
and maybe think of me
for a moment or two

Oh my.. that situation sounds horrible. Touching song. Some of the words relate to me but in an entirely different situation. Which means good music.

God damn it; I haven't even listened to the song yet and I'm getting all weepy. Sorry you had to part with your canine pal. Must have been some F'd up circumstances.

I just got hip to your project. Very cool that you're doing this. I've been kicking around the song-a-week challenge myself - still prepping for it.

Looking forward to catching up with your archives.

Rock on
