The first two posts I did were kinda heavy so I thought I would try and lighten it up a bit. Maybe?
The year 2025 will mark the 30th anniversary of a song I wrote called Scars Too Deep To Heal. It’s essentially a song about PTSD. Which I didn’t realize until a few years ago.
I am humbled by responses I have gotten concerning that song. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought people could relate to the song.
One person in particular is a dear friend that I have known for at least half of her life. Meet Danielle. I first met her through a venue I helped at here in Birmingham called the Shma. I would get to know her more through the venue’s message boards. She’s a drummer! And a right good one! Mostly through social media we would keep in touch over the years. I won’t go into details but life would get hard for her and I always wished I could do more to help her situation.
The instant that she heard Scars, she wanted to know more about it as well as other things that I had written.
I realized this song deeply affected her as she could relate to the first verse.
In that verse, I wrote about a woman who snaps at her abusive partner and kills him. While Danielle didn’t kill her partner, she related to the rest of it. I had toyed with the idea of re-recording and I had hoped that she would be the drummer for it. Well, you can imagine the excitement she had about that!
There’s another thing that I wanted to throw at her about the song. A little twist. I won’t give that part away just yet.
So I hope we can make this mutual dream come true.
So, say hello to my dear friend!
