I am ever wondering just how people make it through some of the things they are going through. Then again, I also have had, do have, and will have those times. I think we all do. I just see some things that overwhelm me, and I wonder just how that person is coping. I often hope they have God to lean on. And I also feel like if I talk to them about God, and Jesus, I am not doing enough. I think this feeling can lead us to a better place. A place where we are desiring to help others in times of need. In December of 2016 I had several people I knew going through TUFF circumstances. So including sickness, some including the death, and in cases very untimely death, of a loved one. In late December, I had a conversation with someone, and somehow things spun around to where he was at in his life, with untrue love, divorce, financial dire straights, etc… and this song came from that. I just went into the studio, without ever playing this live, and actually without it even being finished. It is one of those songs that just poured out within minutes. In the studio, we ended up with a percussion track that makes me think of a Marching Snare Drum. Maybe a firing squad. Spaghetti Western? OK. I guess the guitar riff brings in the James Bond or Clint Eastwood. It was fun to work on. As always I wish I had more resources and time to complete songs, but alas I am where I am, and making the best of it. I hope the same for the one who inspired this song. Thanks - JTB
