Aaron,
True to your darker style, you have penned out what I would consider blues based type of song.
I can not down load it at this time but the lyrics roll out quite effectively from past reflections of a lively, bustling city to a present day look at what has become of it in an economic crunch for the area. The Chorus is also reflective wisdom that everyone experiences later in life and how the truth of a simple phrase or saying can become so clear. The third verse seems to address how the people are trying to live by the "Law of the Jungle" type mentality to ensure there survival from a very young age.
All of these combine to make me think of a Delta type blues. Something from life experiences set to music and meant to leave a vision in your mind of the suffering people go through in certain areas while it seems others may forget about them because of the "It hasn't happened to me Syndrome."
I feel you have done a great job in painting the picture of your corner of the world in a lyrical format. I will try and download it later and see if I can get back with you.

I like it Aaron. I want to hear your acoustic version. This is probably going to be a dumb question but how do I locate the song on mediafire and do I have to be a member to download it.

Just got my first.......and second listen. Awesome job Aaron! I think it sounds perfect acoustic. Obviously a full band version would be nice but it should add to what you got not take away. Who's on vocals? Nice job whom ever it is.

Hi Aaron. I opened this thread once before but just read the top paragraph (your info before the lyrics) - and never read the lyrics till just now. I wanted to read all the posts and every time it seemed I logged in for more than a minute or two, I got pulled away by something.
I posted one something like it pretty recently - about a town going down hill.
Your song has some thoughtful lyrics in it. I like the way it's really descriptive - and almost wish you used personification more. Like - instead of saying that the broke down cars were 'like' scars, actually talk about the city like it's a castout hobo or something... with those cars being it's 'scars'... I don't know... but something about the description made me want to hear the town as a destitute 'person' instead of a 'thing'.
I'll give a listen to the tune when I have a little more time...but I wanted to let you know I read it and liked it.
