So some of you know and some of you don't know that the Country music band SheDaisy is made up of my first cousins, Krsityn, Kelsi, Kassidy and sometimes Karli. ( my dad and thier mom are brother and sister) They just recently finished writing and recording thier 5th CD and the last song on the CD is called "Lost Without You"and it is written and inspired by our story with Easton. My cousin Kristyn (she is the blonde of the group) is an AMAZING writer and she received an e-mail from me and picture of Easton the day before she had a writing meeting. This was all happening last summer when the wounds were still fresh in dealing with what happened with Easton. That night she wrote down some thoughts and from there, made a song. I haven't heard it yet, but hopefully I will get a copy of it soon, they are hoping for it to be a single and to one day be put on a movie sound track...they say it has that kind of feel to it. I am so lucky to have them as my friends and cousins and for them to include a piece of my heart and life into thier music.
Sidenote: On thier first CD The Whole Shebang Song #6 " Still Holding Out for You" was inspired by my aunt who lost her husband to an airforce airplane accident, he was training to become a pilot and the plane crashed. My aunt had two small children at the time and was left to raise them alone. Some 20 years later she has remarried, but I know this song still holds a special place in her heart as well in the rest of our family. Here are some words to that song below!
Never thought I'd be in this place, It's someone else's life I'm living
Wish I were living a lie The hardest part is when the bough breaks
Falling down and then forgiving
You didn't kiss me good-bye
I'm choking on the words I didn't get to say
And pray I get the chance one day
I stil run, I sill swing open the door I still think, you'll be there like before
Doesn't everybody out there know to never come around
Some things the heart won't listen to I'm still holding out for you
I can hear you smile in the dark I can even feel your breathing
But daylight chases the ghosts I see your coat and I fall apart
To those hints of you I'm clinging Now's when I need them most
I should get up, dry my eyes and move ahead
At least that's what you would have said
I won't be able to post the words to Easton's song until their CD comes out,but that just means you will all have to go out and buy it. Songs tell a story and each of Kristyns songs that she writes has a meaning behind it.I feel so priveleged to be a part of her storytelling, even if the story is sad, I know in my heart some day I will have a happy ending with Easton. " Still Holding out for You" was also written about someone else as well, but due to the privacy of that matter, I won't mention it on here.
