instead of an anti-anti-war song i just came up with a war song.... the negatives cancel each other out..... that's kind of an anti-war song... haha.

baby boy was born on friday.
saturday i was flying.
on my way to the front page news.
i said goodbye and so did you.
kiss my child goodbye for the first time.
a stared at my feet as we pulled away.
i didn't want to see your image fade.

there's no time for tears on this flight.
i'm hear to make sure you're alright.
there's no time for fear where we are.
just react and let it go.

i've got a memory.
a picture of you and me.
and another of my new baby.
i like to hold them close
so i feel like we're a family
i've got a breast pocket memory.

black car pulled up on a friday.
saturday i was flying.
on my way to watch over you.
i said goodbye but not to you.
left my child alone for the first time.
you cried on your knees as he pulled away.
i didn't want it to ever be this way.

there's no time for tears on this flight
well i'm here, and i'm gonna make sure you're alright
there's no time for fear where you are.
just react and let it go.

well,
you've got a memory.
a picture of you and me.
and another of our new baby.
and you like to hold them close.
so you feel like we're a family
you've got a breast pocket memory...

there's no time for tears on this flight
well i'm here, and i'm gonna make sure you're alright
there's no time for fear where you are.
just react and let it go.

well, i know he won't remember me.
but maybe he'll keep a breast pocket memory.

Thanks guys...

It was one of those that I just rattled off without really stopping to think much about it so it does need a few things tweaked here and there... basically I just sat down with my guitar and played something and sang that over top of it...

It's very depressing with the guitar that I added... I didn't want to start with a regular chord progression because I didn't really want something with a ton of melody to it... something kind of drone'ish and depressing. So I used some chords in Em using the bass strings quite a bit... it adds the depressing factor for sure. I'll try to get into the studio and get it recorded as soon as I can... It's hard to get into the studio now becuase it's in my friend's parents garage and he's living in LA going to Musicians Institute now...

I like it. Reminds me of this article I read in Sports Illustrated by Rick Reily (I think that is his name atleast). Well, he wrote about these 5 athletes, and at the end was like "they were all killed in Iraq" and listed how they were killed. Depressing stuff.
