The song is so well written, performed and recorded that we think perhaps it has indeed been a catharsis for you -- at least we hope it serves to that end.

We get so wrapped up in the lyric every time we listen that is is hard to step back and focus on how well done your performances are and the superb production.

On a lighter note "she was a valedictorian and I was a two time high school dropout" is a great line in itself!

Thanks for sharing this.

J&B, I think Janice's point is on the money. The backstory adds an element that is somehow missing without it. Thanks for all the nice things you've said here. Tom
