Thanks Julia. We are thrilled with how that one came out. It was inspired by reading Joseph Cambell and Steven Covey...and a story I heard about how most people spend their time climbing the ladder of life, only to discover their ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. "When You're Gone" is a response to that, and hopefully provides inspiration for people to follow their dreams. My favorite lyrics are in the bridge: "You still got a whole lot of livin'" -- as there is no greater truism than: IT's NEVER TOO LATE!"
