made from fire

Tony Emsley R.I.P

Tony was a good friend, a talented musician, an award winning film producer, and a very warm, open spirit. Back in the mid 80's he was the drummer in our band. He was also the manager, sometimes wearing himself out managing, drumming and
knocking on doors trying to promote the band. He went on to film school and produced many award winning short films. He always pushed himself and others onto bigger and greater things, money was never his concern though, only trying to bring out the creative and imaginative qualities he saw in people.
Suicide has always been a taboo subject. Nobody wants to talk about such an overwhelmingly sad event. A natural, or accidental death is difficult enough for family and friends to cope with, but suicide always touches far deeper emotions. Sometimes anger, sometimes just sheer confusion. It would be much better if family and friends could see the signs earlier, but the nature of depression is concealment and a feeling of separation. People cover up and try to hide their pain and deep sadness, so even the closest people to them are unaware of their pain and feeling of hopelessness. If only we could see the signs earlier. My heart and thoughts go out to Tony's wife, child and mother. There is always a space left behind after such tragedies. This song, is in a small way, my way of filling a part of that space. Hope in the face of Hopelessness. I know you're at peace now friend. made from fire

we all owe something to someone
no-one can make it alone
don't keep inside what binds us
don't let that isolation grow

we were made from fire
built from sand and glue
bringing it on and taking it higher
c'mon i know we'll make it through

all my friends are leaving
they couldn't take the weight anymore
outside they smile
inside they're feeling
for this life
there ain't any cure

we were made from fire
built from sand and glue
bringing it on and taking it higher
c'mon i know we'll make it through

i wish i knew how you were feeling
i could've done more i know
outside you smiled
but inside you were bleeding
sometimes those scars never show

we were made from fire
built from sand and glue
bringing it on and taking it higher
c'mon i know we'll make it through

yea man, it seems there's a lot of life and talent out there going to waste for lack of direction, we gotta keep our energies focussed on something positive, sorry to hear about your loss too friend

[happyfallen]

great tribute, powerful, i feel for your loss, thinking about friends i have lost myself...

[YCoriginals]

hi happyfallen, sorry for your loss too man, it seems to me the rush for material shit is leaving a lot of people behind, not everyone wants the things governments tell us we need, peace

[ParadiseEarth1]

I sympathise with your friend's loss Bro. I'd like to believe that his spirit or consciousness knows about how his passing inspired you to write a great song for tribute *****

Yeah I think if you only knew he was low, I think you could have taken him higher when you propelled in @ 3:49, then while up there sorta bond together like lava creates solid grounds when the fire cools off....

[YCoriginals]

yea ParadiseEarth, i was hoping his spirit could feel some of the sentiments in the song and words, i still do...some feelings are just so hard to articulate, but i had to try, thanks brutha
