Story Behind The Song
this song is about the sinking of the "Titanic." inspired by the scene at the end when Barbara Stanwick is in a life boat watching the ship go down in the dark and cold sea, with her loved ones still on board, just moments a way from the cruelest of deaths.
it was a miserable scene to watch and act out as well. it still brings goose bumps when i think about it.
the main message? live your life as full as possible in tribute to the victims of the Titanic whose lives were all cut short. we all owe it to them to live our lives without wasting any of the precious moments given to us.
Song Description
recorded summer 2009.
if you listen closely in the first verse, you can hear corky shuffling the paper w/the lyrics!
i'm so happy corky did this for me. i just wish there was more time for more music. she's a very talented and funny young lady. if i could scribe music, we'd have some violin as well. she's just such a busy young lady now that we don't have time to doodle around with a song. this was fast food music. i'm just grateful we got this done. and lucky she's so talented!

Lyrics
I'm an hour away from nowhere, holding on for life,
this side of the Milky Way,
for just one more night.
As my North Star's fading, quickly out of sight.
We never saw it coming,
my God it turned so fast,
the played their final song,
on their way to a cold and watery grave.
And just like that it's over,
gone into the night,
I prayed for some salvation,
as i was swallowed up alive.
I prayed for some salvation,
as i was swallowed up, alive.
I know the stars will keep on shining,
the sun will surely rise,
on this the place i took my,
final breath of life.
On this the place i took my, final breath of life.
Don't slow down through the sunset,
live it while you can,
take in every moment,
try the very best you can.
Live a little of your life for me.
Live a little of your life for me.
fade out:
I know the stars will keep on shining,
that sun will surely rise.
Live a liitle of your life for me.
Don't slow down the sunset,
live it while can,
live a little of your life for me.
Take in every moment, try the very best you can.
Live a little of your life for me.
Live a little of your life for me.
