I send a request to Louis the other day asking him if I could post this fine worktape from Ian and Mike that I plunked a guitar and bass on to. He said sure. I believe that there is a more fully produced version from Mike floating around.

So here I am as a "non-hired gun" (ha, ha) barging on to this great tune. By the way, I love this song and the excellent work by Ian Ferrin and Mike Caro.

Kevin

P.S. Plus I haven't written a complete song since FAWM!!!!
***********************************************

Angels in the Room
(c) Louis Twinn 2010

standing in a waiting room
just outside of ICU
it's the hardest thing a man could ever do

they've tried everything they know
the doctors don't give any hope
you're at the end of your rope

so you tie a knot in the end
hold on anyway
cause your little girl needs heaven's help
to make it thru the day

still you hope
when hope is gone
do everything
to just hold on
and just because you can't see
angels in her room
doesn't mean that they won't be coming soon

They say that every little childs'
guardian angel's watching out
it's crazy what your mind thinks about

You've never seen an angel's wings
Lord knows that you believe
right now you'd give everything to see

so you stay down on your knees
cry alot and pray
cause your little girl needs heaven's help
to make it thru the day

still you hope
when hope is gone
do everything
to just hold on
and just because you can't see
angels in her room
doesn't mean that they won't be, coming soon


Mike Caro: Vocals
Ian Ferrin: Piano
Kevin: Electric Guitar, Bass

Hi Kevin, Mike and Ian,

This is beautiful. My first thought was that this is soooo sad, but you know what just the thought of being carried away by angels made me rethink that! It’s not sad, it’s just a beauty that we’ve yet to understand. smile

Hi Kevin,
It is a beautiful piece, my favourite lines
"still you hope
when hope is gone
do everything
to just hold on"
having been there this expresses it all so perfectly.
Wish I could of seen the angels... ty so much for sharing this again, lovely music, great great vocals, and wonderful lyrics.

Hey Kevin:

I remember this one well - but I'm not sure I've heard this version before. Very nice! Yeah, it would be cool to see this one find a home somewhere - I remember how much sweat Louis put into it smile

Kevin...

Thanks for posting this. Having lost a child much too young, I can relate to this. I don't think the lyric could have conveyed that feeling any better than this one did. I could go on about that but won't.

I'll just say it's a super lyric with fabulous music and so nicely done. Kudos to all involved. Now, to go wipe a tear or two....

Nicely done Kevin, et. al and especially meaningful for any of us who have had a child in the hospital - and been waiting.

I could see the song promoted to a movie about this topic.

What a wonderful lyric. I am such a big fan of all you guys .. this is like an all star collaboration to me.

Listening a couple of times .. one small nit ... it seems like the key may be just a little too low for the vocal at the end of the verse.

Man I would love to hear the full production of this song.

very very nice,
g

Wanted to update everyone on her progress. Just got a text message from her. She just got back from working out. She rowed 600 yards in 4min 40sec. Rode the bike 2 miles in 16 min and walked into and out of the gym without her wheel chair... smile
