Cruel World - R.I.P Taylor Mitchell - Original by Taylor Abrahamse

Taylor Mitchell, a young Canadian songwriter from close to where I am, was killed recently by two coyotes.

The very simple lyrics go:
Its a cruel cruel world
If you look real hard
If you look real hard.

And what can you do,
but say I'm sorry
There's something before me
I've got to leave.

Its a cruel cruel world...

Slow down,
open your eyes
The blue in the sky
The clouds floating by...

Its a cruel cruel world
when you look real hard
when you look real hard.

...If you look too hard...

Slow down,
open your eyes
The blue in the sky
The clouds floating by...
And I've got to leave.

So you found out less than an hour ago? And immediately you made a song about it.

Are you an American, just a wild guess?

@SelfTubeFreak Canadian, actually. I don't know what jerk-off stereotype you're trying to slam me with, that Americans fight back before they've thought something through?

I knew a few musicians who knew her really well. It just seemed like such a random death, and I preferred not to dwell on it with a lot of other stuff on my plate, so best to just get the immediate sensations out of me asap. I suppose I didn't need to upload it, but maybe it'd be useful for someone else.
