| The funny thing is on the song they kind of put the bg music over him saying hell and they don't actually include the word in the booklet that comes with the CD talk about making a big deal out of a word that is used all the time by all. | |

I really love this song from their second album, I can't believe no one had added it before me. Whenever I listen to this song I get chills. It's such a deep song, really puts in perspective how we take what life we've got left for granted. This is what the CD cover had to say about the song: This song is about a dear friend of ours Matt Estrella. Matt suffered from a rare genetic disease called Neufibromatosis 2. Which causes tumors to grow on the myelin sheaths of the outer nervous system.Eventually the nerves will stop functioning. Our friend Matt was deaf when we first met him. He was losing his sight and a lot of feeling in parts of his body. The tumors were large, and very noticeable in some places.He was about the same age as I was, but I was living an amazing life for a 25 year old, while he carried this enormous and hideous burden. It seemed that anytime that I would complain to God about something fair or unfair, somehow I would see or hear from Matt. He was the only person that I had met that had any right to complain to God about what unfair or unjust in his life, but he never did. His faith was beyond measure, and that is why I loved him. Last spring, he died while undergoing an operation of removing one of his many tumors. This is just some stupid song I wrote in a basement. It will never make up for what is missing from the world now Matt Estrella is gone from it...But it is the best I could do. Shalom my friend we will see you again. -Reese Roper February4, 2003 |
