The letter on the Path

(Raymond McNamara)

This song is about a letter I found that touched me deeply, It I'd meant to remind us not to forget or ignore those who have problems living hard right in front of our eyes.

Walking along a well beaten path I found a letter today

The words on this rain soaked letter reminded me of those who have lost there way

Now these heart felt words from a young lover, of a man that was locked away

These words should remind us all not to judge our neighbors now listen to what she had to say
 She said I'm sitting here at a camp by the river underneath a blanket of stars. Your brothers here with me and he wants me to tell you he finally put his heroin problem away

And even tho we have no home, I saved the money for your GED.

I love you and miss, and I'm so happy you changed

I had to share her simple letter because of what I found later that day 

I walked a little farther, and at the end of the path there was a camp by the river where I found the sweet young lady's lifeless body killed by his brother for the money she had put away

So please remember, to help your neighbor no matter what mistakes they have made
 For I would give anything to unread her letter and turn back the time just for one day..

Cancerous consequences

By Jessie Doyle

This is a song I wrote about the tobacco industry and the complete ignorance of the dangers of smoking tobacco products just to fit in and be a part of what is considered trendy, hip and cool as with is with most things in our society people tend to go with the herd and are terrified of being judged or different that they would rather consume lethal poisons than be the individual they really are on the inside and who they really want to be.

Into The Dark

By Emily Lister

These lyrics are about facing and overcoming adversity. About relying on yourself and using your survival instinct. Finding a place to escape to where you feel safe and unthreatened. It’s also about battling your inner conscience, the voice inside that may sometimes tell you things you don’t like to hear a voice I associate with depression. But ultimately trying to find a way through to the other side.

Intoxication

By Sheetal Rao

This song is about how society blurs your lesne as you walk through your life, almost as if you are "intoxicated". It also mentions how there are many obstacles and traps you can get sucked into. In the end, you will figure out that you are the one in charge, and that you should take control.

What Do You Want

By Kenna Hei

I wrote this song about the concept of loving someone you're not supposed to love and having it be an unrequited kind of feeling, and how after moving on and getting over them, they finally love you back. It makes you question their intentions and what they ever wanted.
