    Story Behind the Song
    When I'm Gone was written by Jeff Hicks. It marked the change in The Shattered's line-up as well as the band's style. Stevi Towns left, and the band embarked on a singer search before deciding to use rhythm guitarist Jeff Hicks as a singer/front man. Mike McShane was added as rhythm guitarist, but stayed for only a short time.

    When I'm Gone demonstrates Jeff Hicks' song writing abilities. Despite it's lengthy mid section, it has some good lyric content and a great coda melody.

    Bands of influence during this period were, early Church, U2, and Redd Kross.

    Lyrics
    Verse I-
    I can't show you all the things I hide
    The secret dreams that fill up my mind
    All that's left are broken dreams we sold
    Pull me to a world that's dark and cold

    Chorus-
    Now I just can't wait
    I don't have to explain
    The magic day
    When I am all but gone

    Verse II-
    Remember me through a rose colored haze
    As you lay a bed of roses on my grave
    Remember me... remember all I have done
    Until beside my bones You and I become one

    Chorus-

    Coda-
    So I'll see you in the after Honey
    I hope you see me too
    'cause when I'm gone it won't be long for you
