Story Behind The Song

Once upon a time, there was a couple who seemed to have it all. They built a beautiful life together, with a loving son and a thriving community around them. Their love was the envy of many, a shining example of what true partnership could be. But as time went on, cracks began to form in their relationship. Envy and greed crept into their lives, poisoning their once-unbreakable bond. They became consumed by their own desires, neglecting the foundation of trust that held them together. Their downfall came swiftly and unexpectedly. Lies and deceit tore through their home like a hurricane, leaving devastation in their wake. Friends turned against them, and even their own family became casualties of their bitter feud. Caught in the crossfire was their son, a helpless bystander in the chaos of his parents' crumbling marriage. As they descended further into darkness, he watched helplessly as the pillars of his world collapsed around him. In the end, their love story faded into nothingness, a tragic tale of what happens when trust crumbles like a house of cards. They were left with nothing but regrets and shattered dreams, haunted by the ghosts of a love that once burned brightly but ultimately flickered out.

Lyrics

From east to west, our love did span
Built a community, hand in hand
An amazing son, our world complete
In our home, where love did meet

Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope

Risk-takers, dream-makers, we dared to try
But envy and greed, they reached the sky
But the divide between us, what did it do?

Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope

Friends became foes, in the depths of night
Family torn apart, by our endless fight
Lost in the quicksand, of our own desire
Haunted by ghosts of a love now dire

Lies and deceit, they tore us down
Our once-strong home, now wears a frown
Our son caught in the storm, of our despair
As we danced with the devil, in a reckless affair

Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope

"Pieces of Sand" is a touching and heartbreakingly honest reflection of love lost and the breakup of a happy home, life, and family. The vocals own this journey in their sensitivity and emotional openness. "Wanderlust" demonstrates tremendous versatility in their artist expression. "Pieces of Sand" is beautiful in its sadness and opens the heart to a depth of the human condition we would like to avoid, but then it takes us on a journey to a place of genuine compassion for all those who experience this all-too-common trauma in life.
