I Feel Your Pain
by: Steve Grass

Hi,,
Four years ago my wife & 3 year old daugher were passengers in a car drivin by my wife's best friend.. The car they were in got rear ended & my wife & her friend were killed.. Her friend was killed instantly & my wife died on the way to the hospital.. Our daughter Carrie who was 3 years old at the time was in the back seat in a high back booster seat... Their car was rearended by a 3/4 ton pickup truck... The driver of the pickup just didn't see them..
Him & his wife & 2 year old daughter were not hurt..
Our daughter suffered multiple life threatening injuries and was flown to a hospital where she could receive better care..
She was in the intensive care unit at the hospital for 11 days,, the first 4 days was critical & you just watched the monitors & prayed & gasped whenever the monitor or the respirator made a sudden beep or plunge..
But,,, she made a full recovery is in the 2nd grade doin' great...
So,,, I became a home dad from that point on..
she was so broken up, we had to go right back to diapers & give her sponge baths..

As she started to get better I needed something to help me cope with the loss of my wife & the day to day struggles that followed...
I play guitar so I got a 4 track cassette recorder & started a home recording studio...
That was in march of 2008 & since then I've recorded 408 songs... 65 of those songs I wrote myself... I wrote about everything,,, including songs about losin' my wife..
I play all the instruments,, guitars, bass guitar, acoustic guitars, resonator guitar, pedal steel guitar & keyboard..
I don't know how I could've made it without my music... It got me through then & it continues to help me with the healing process..

True

Im currently deployed to Iraq and it can very stressful over at times especially thinking about my wife and kids back home. The best way I have found to vent and release stress is sitting down and writing just lyrics, just music, or even both.

Good Post

I can understand how music can be a release valve.

Maybe this tune I wrote 8 years ago says it better for me. It's copyrighted and was on an Indie CD back in 2000 or so.

Title: Album of Memories
Verse
Shadows creep across the room as the day lays down it’s head.
Those hidden thoughts and dreams of you climb slowly into bed
I choose memories from an album hidden in my mind
And pick a page to go to spend my dreaming time

Verse
We walk through forests, over hills, down valleys and cross streams
We never talk, not a spoken word, It’s only in my dreams
We near a bridge that spans my thoughts, one you cannot cross
I turn and look into your eyes and see what I have lost.

Bridge
You appear and all is good, but I know you will leave soon
Holding your hand with my mind hidden in my room

Chorus
Oh how deep the pain is when a heart is torn apart
Like losing a bet when you’ve gone all in, before the hand starts
You can’t go back and change the past no matter how hard you try
A slice of life you’ll never get back, and it makes you want to die

Song break ……with a sad harmonica

Verse
I look back and watch you wave, a tear drop hits the ground
A new flower grows before my eyes, so many it can’t be found
I’ve been here many times before and I’ll return for sure
Until I cross the great divide between my world and hers

Verse
Daylight comes my worlds disturbed, without a second thought
I rise from bed, take on the day, just like I’ve been taught
I empty out my mind taking nothing into day
When night returns I’ll lay down and pick another page

Chorus

Hope you enjoy.
Doc
