	Story Behind the Song I lost my father at 14 years of age; he died on July 27, 2001. I felt suicidal afterwards. I got through depression alive, but am still suffering the pain of having lost a father, a best friend really. And here I am, just about 4 months later, now 15, writing a song dedicated to him. There are no lyrics in the song itself, but a poem I wrote about my pain fits perfectly. The poem was originally called 'Kryptonite' but the name was changed to the song name 'Hot Teardrops' to suite the title. The song was written in my bedroom using nothing more than a Kurzweil PC2x controller, and a SB16 (Yes, THAT dinosaur) soundcard. The sequencer used was a simple Cakewalk Express Gold 6.0, and that was only because I couldn't get Logic Audio Platinum to work with Windows XP. I started writing the song at maybe 7pm Wednesday November 22, 2001, and finished about 4 hours later. That included recording, enhancing the sound wave file, and finally encoding to an MP3. Lyrics Originally from a poem I wrote called 'Kryptonite' are the words below to go along with this song: --- Hot Teardrops --- A father's death is kryptonite Wicked becomes life Each day turns dark This pain infests dreams The heart bruised Life no longer wanted Desiring revenge against death Yet wanting life to end Exploring mysticism Looking for answers Searching for a morphine Not a trace of either All tear ducts become worn The eyes are a western sunset A verve for deathly mentality arises Not a god can heal this pain Death laughs mockingly Helplessness is always close The thirst for staying alive ceases Becoming that of a camel in water --- Six Black Roses
