Cover art for Tony lyrics by Patty Griffin

This is a very sad song, but I think it's written to draw attention to the way people isolate themselevs, for feeing different, especially as children. Weather Tony is real or just an example - Only Patty knows. ''Hey tony, whats so good about dying''. I think the person in this song who remembers Tony, is still feeling very lonely, just like Tony was. My favourite lines = I guess you finally stopped believing, Any hope would ever find you I knew that story, I was sitting right behind you.
