	Story Behind the Song This song was written in 1990 for friend, to cheer him up after his father had sadly passed away.The song didn't take me very long to write and it hasn't changed ever since. The basic motive consists of 9th chords that are rather chamelion like as I blur the lines on whether they function as minor or major. The predominant harmony is of B Aeolian mode (key of D major) but after the chimes sound I switch to major or to be specific the 5th mode of E Melodic minor which is dominant in sound. On the weird break before the solo I utilse this dominant sound again but this time in E Harmonic minor. I recorded this goofy version back in`98 on an AKAI DR16, I used my Washburn EA20 acoustic, live miked & one of my Ibanez Universe gats. The drum track was really an after thought that I played live on an Ensonique TS-10.I took just a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon. My main intent was to make a 4 track CD to give to my family & friends for christmas. Lyrics No lyrics just a thought. Our parents are human too, they will make mistakes, but for gods sake make friends with them now before its to late. My friend didn't and he regrets that desicion to this day.
