She Didn’t Know- So, someone I know got totally screwed over. The worst part was that her friends knew but didn’t tell her what was happening. I am not sure she will love the fact I wrote a song about it, but that is the least of her worries right…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…
