The Dark Side (original song live performance)

First off, I would like to apologize for my extreme delay in responding to comments. I do always try to respond to all of my comments. After all, you take the time to support me by watching my videos and subscribing and giving me your feedback. I do really appreciate every rating, subscription, comment, etc I receive.

Shortly after posting my last video (Lonely House) I received word that my best friend had died. He was 23 and had been my best friend since I was 19. He was very active in the community, did lots of volunteer work and was a popular drag queen performing under the name Kerri O'Kee in the Winnipeg area.

He was set to compete in the Entertainer Of The Year pageant on October 17. Instead the pageant was postponed and a memorial was held. I was given the honour of performing this song.

Steveo was one of the people who encouraged me so much to put my music out there for the world to see. He always believed in me and encouraged me to reach for the stars and live my dreams. I wrote this song for him a year ago, and he loved it.

Rest in peace Steven Yablonski. I love you.

I'm really sorry baby, but I can't go on
I feel so sad and empty
I wish the world was gone
But you comfort me, tell me that you care
And you'll stay as long as I need
No matter what happens you'll always be
My bestest friend

Maybe I would cry a little
Maybe you would scream
Maybe we'd talk about Star Wars
Maybe we'd just dream

I think my world is ending baby, I'm all alone
The man I loved just played me
I don't understand
You tell me to wear my heels, you'll pick me up
We'll stay out all night if need be
Singing into that karaoke machine

Maybe I would cry a little
Maybe you would scream
Maybe we'd just sing Shania
Maybe we'd just dream

I'm really sorry baby, but I have to go
You know he holds me back here
I must leave my home
But you hold me close, say you understand
And we'll never be apart
No matter the worry, no matter the distance
You're always in my heart

Maybe you would cry a little
Maybe I would scream
Maybe we'd just crank the Spice Girls
Maybe we'd just dream


And I know that if I go crazy
You will still call me your Superman
And when we both turn 35
You know we'll be dancing to Hero

I just want to tell you, no matter what
You're my best friend
And sometimes I think you're the only man I'll ever love

This comment really reminds me of something my friend Kathy would say to me. She tells me all the time that I deserve success.

excellent live performance (I 've been waiting to see someone really put themselves out there)....eventhough your friend could not be there, most likely he's enjoying it from up above.
