	A tribute to Matthew Shepard...a gay student that was killed in a brutal hate crime in Laramie, Wo. Magdalen had a chance to tour through Laramie and was amazed at how warm and embracing the community was to her. Out of gratitude she wrote this song as a reminder to the lovely folks in Laramie (and to all of us) to keep our hearts open and to have faith in the goodness of people. This folky yet driving song features a soaring vocals and a smashing slide guitar ending that evokes the wide open prarie spaces of Wyoming.

Lyrics LARAMIE Music and Lyrics by Magdalen Hsu-Li C. 2000 F.H.A.A.S.S. Music Matthew I just have to speak on your behalf To say the words you can't say to those who loved you best Don't give up.don't fill your hearts with hate Don't regret anything before it is too late It takes an open mind And a second sight to see The other side of.Laramie I don't think you could know The kindness I received They took me in as their own The folks from Laramie But for one dark night A shadow stole the sun And put out a light Before it had begun Then never did they hear such a cry From the prairie to the Fireside of Laramie I am so glad to have met you And shared this precious time Don't forget that I love you I know that you'll be fine Don't give up.don't fill your hearts with hate Don't regret anything before it is too late Don't forget to open your mind And use your second sight to see The other side of.Laramie
