Originally submitted for a MySpace song contest for the film, "Henry Poole is Here" - the song was about healing generally, not just Henry Poole's. Also for a time it connected a lot of fellow songwriters who were also submitting for the contest. I got to connect with some interesting people and hear some beautiful songs in the process. Congrats to Ron Irizarry for winning the contest, I know he took a lot of heat from the other entrants who thought they should have won.
"Henry Poole is Here" - Erik Hendin
Henry Poole is Here
It's just another year
Been a long time since he smiled
Talk to me for a while
His face is pretty long
That bottle sings a silent song
Henry Henry come take my hand
Can you believe again?
You've lost your faith
A moment and something could change
Drink in the sky heal what's inside
You can love again
Henry Poole is Here
It's just another year
Something's different in your eyes
Talk to me for a while
A little drop of rain
Is sometimes all it takes
To restore your faith
In the human race
A miracle in time
A moment in your mind
You look around and realize
What it is to be alive
Henry Poole is Here
It's just another year
Another moment in time
Start a new life
Start a new life
Start a new life
Start a new life
Great hearing this again, Erik. Hope you're doing well!

@JeffJacobsonMusic Jeff! Nice to hear from you, and let me know if you play any gigs. Nice to see you're running a transcription business with indie artists!
