trents songs are aways about 3-4-5 different things i mean nobody knows what this song is realy about so yeah he lost friends parents but still it feels like there is something unknown
I've lost my grandmother, but I haven't felt suicidal about it. However, I want to try to build the inspiration to make a poem out of it in inspiration of Trent's song...
@PRFan475 Well yeah, i do have a problem. If you're stupid enough to kill yourself over your grandma, go ahead. 'Cause you know, that's what all the cool kids are doing these days. Oh no! You have (supposedly) lost your grandmother! Like you're the only fucking one. But you don't go seeing everyone else wanting to kill themselves, do you?
RIP Tim hess you were one of my closes friends you were a brother to me not bond in blood but a deep friendship this song really helps me. Im Looking forward to joining you.
@p00ned0wned yes if i remember right trents mother did not have ability to take care of him and his sister so she let her mother raise them it's weird though because i never really have heard anything about his sister from him only his father once and he said he gave him his first keyboard. but his Grandma had him taking piano at the age of 5 in hopes he would do classical music man she was way off from what he did do huh?
@ChildIncomplete from my experience, and in my opinion, life struck. more realization, more independancy led him to the choices he made, that includes later on in life when he got into drugs. everything is tempting when you are "down in it" (thats one of his songs!)....i know because i can see how it effects people, i didnt crash as hard because im more aware of others than myself, thank god (?)

@KedViper I love those games so much. I grew up with them. Spyro 1, 2 and 3 for the ps 1 and 2 were amazing. sich great fucking plots. thanks man. Memories do resound.
@Staleyfan34 yea u know i bet looking at his life now his grandmother would be very proud of him he married a beautiful wife has a son and an Oscar winning movie soundtrack and has said he is happiest he has ever been in his life.
Sums up grief perfectly :/

@Jrul3z
listen to the guitar sliding that goes with the drum.
that sound seems to attack my nerves, as if its a past thought scratching its way into my head,
after ive tried to hard to keep it out.
the only comforting thought is that im not the only one.
that thought saved me from going crazy, lonelyness is overwhelming sometimes ^^

@DrZaious Actually, a lot of people are not in the pursuit of good-sounding music, just as long as it sounds like they expect it to.
You wonder why FLAC's a dying format? Not too many people care past 128kbps.

@bluephreakr Yeah I forget a times. For me at least, If I'm not listening to the radio, then the music shouldn't sound like it is on the radio.

I could be wrong, but I remember reading that TR wrote it about his grandmother who had died at that time.
