The idea for this song came about after seeing a hand-written sign on the news after the Boston bombings saying “stop hurting people”. The song is pretty self explanatory but I wanted to say that the world will be a better place if we just put ourselves in the shoes of the other person for a second and imagine if we would want to be treated in that way. Whether that be a fairly innocuous parenting notion such as leaving a baby to cry is good for it or a dreadful decision like placing a bomb at somebody’s feet (and everything in-between).
I have a couple of problems with the song. The first is that I don’t think the song suits my voice. I think it a pop (rock?) ballad and my voice is decidedly country/folk. Secondly, the recording of my vocal is very pitchy. Thirdly I am not happy with the arrangement but don’t know where to take it. So, if anybody wants to help out with this song, as a co-write and to place some decent male vocals on it please drop me a pm.

Lyrics are on soundcloud.
