Great song.

It's always tough when you lose someone close to you. I've not lost my childhood friends but I've lost so many of the great musicians I've played with and known. It's never easy. To be able to turn that loss and hurt into such a good song is a rare talent.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
