@paddyd65 sorry I probably hadn't worded that correctly I had meant to say that the lyrics were even more sad because the song was about the shooting, so I already knew about it but thanks anyway if i hadn't known that would have been a great help :)
@elaineyoung0311 the Dunblane shooting when a gunman entered Dunblane primary school an killed a number of kids and a teacher , Eric was asked to write a song for their families. so sad
I've lost several cousins and two aunts, in the last couple of years...and tonight I just found out a friend died. Eric is one of the best songwriters around, he can have you pissing your pants in laughter one moment, and sniffling the next.
When Eric played in Stirling in August 2005, he dedicated this song to our son Sam who died as a baby 5 years before. If Sam had lived, the day following the concert would have been his first day at school. My wife and I cried buckets as Eric & John played this. Thanks Eric. Beautiful.

SO sad!!!!
Rest In Peace, kids. And school teacher.
Although, i have also dedicated this song to the one's i have lost in my life. It tells the true stages of grief.
