    This one was the one that reunited Trey and me again after a long silence in September 2007.Trey was in Saratoga Springs, NY, working very hard in his Drug Court program -- helping himself, helping others...but not communicating with anyone...on purpose.His dad was key to breaking the silence and said I could email Trey a Happy Birthday and he "might answer".At first I thought he was joking, because until that moment, Trey NEVER used email!So I sent off a birthday poem...these lyrics.2 hours later I received an "Oh My God, Tom" email.Then soon after, a phone call where he played me this song.Our writing conquered the chasm...the rift.The thing we did best and did forever, songwriting, reignited our friendship.

      I think I might prefer the softer background vocals.
