after 2 year old Matthew died in a fire 3 years ago I really felt how painful it is to lose a precious loved one.The shadow box is the first release from my new album Little Star 2.I dedicate this song to all the people who perished in the dreadful terrorist attack on 9 11 that claimed so many lives and the people left behind facing the loss of their loved ones.My heart goes out to all of you.
Thanks to MINOR2GO for loops used in this track.All other instruments and vocals by lofthouse

I can understand why you can't get over Matthew's sad passing. I know if it was someone close to me that I would not be able to forget. I think it's wonderful all the beautiful tribute tracks that have been made in his memory. I feel certain his spirit is with you and is proud of what you have achieved.

A powerful and moving song.

Hi Eshar!
It's been a while!
Thank you for your words-they mean a lot to me.I guess I must move on some day,but it's not today-I can't stop thinking and writing,and breathing and sleeping about Matthew.It's a pain that won't go away and I guess I'll still write many more songs for him.I keep trying to write something else-but nothing else comes yet-Thank you for understanding and enduring -You are a special soul!
Love always.

This is pretty deep brudda. is that you singing? or something went really well with the situation? regardless very touching work. in the end, it's the "meaning" behind a song that makes it what it is. i firmly believe that. you've done a great job here paying homage to all the lost ones in 9/11. you've also inspired me to create a track to pay homage to another certain group of people. i will being production shortly...regards my friend. and may peace be with you.

Hi there!
Thanks for your comment!
Yes,it's me singing-glad you think it went well.
Vocals and lyrics are really my main thing.
If you enjoyed them,then I'm really happy!
I think 9/11 is a worthy cause to sing about.So sad for all those people who lost loved one's so senselessly.
A tragic day for mankind and unbelievable that people can hurt each other like this.What kind of sicko could get a thrill from killing so many innocent people?
It breaks my heart that such people even exist.Terrorism is surely the most unpreductive form of hate there is.
It's people killing to make the news.There's got to be a better way to get attention.
Sad.So sad!
love always.

When I first posted the link to this song I listened to it but didn't have a chance to post a comment as I was having a crazy day. Good but crazy lol.

This is a really nice song, very emotional. You can always tell when a artist sings a song from the heart. I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I have been there many times myself.

Just remember, as much as you loved him, he loved you back. I'm sure wherever he is, he wouldn't want to see you sad. He is a angel watching over you now, so look up and smile at him back.

Thank you for stopping by my page and showing love. You take care :)

Thank you!
You brought tears to my eyes.
This is really from the heart.
I'm sorry you've also experienced loss and heartache.I guess we all have.I just can't get over Matthew.He was just to young to go.And the way he died was just too awful to contemplate.
I appreciate your kind words.They really comfort me.
Love always.
