Fade Away - (Original)

This goes out to my friend Ralph (conkling). It was inspired by his song "Morphine" which states the drug problem from the addict's side. But I feel it is equally important to see the other casualties of drug addiction and those are those among us who must watch as our friends and loved ones go down to this scourge. This is about a friend of mine that I feel sure I am losing to alcoholism. If you have ever faced this problem this song is for you.

@carvetop01 Wow, I guess there are a few libertarians out there who have a heart after all. (wink wink)

Very well done. I've been there. Couldn't save her. You capture the desperation so well.

@RonIrelandmusic Thanks taking the time to visit this Ron. If you have a particular piece of yours you'd like me to listen to let me know.

your words hit deep into my inner being, my core, the love lost of one that is loved due to addictions, the sorrow, the deep forboding aloneless that spills over and engulfs everything around the infected, such sorrow. such sorrow. . it would be wrong of me to say anything more than what I already have.

@AcousticPhases I'm glad it connected so strongly. Writing it was cathartic for me. Got it out front in a tangible form so I could deal with it. Thanks for giving it the time.

@mfambro Thanks Miche. Yep, I did the audio recording and video editing. I love your multi camera stuff on your videos. Nicely edited and produced.

A lot a cool things happening here. Aside from a great song and performance. The harmonica is a nice touch (it weeps and whimpers). The video looks real good. Nice work. Did you edit it? Love it.
