about

“Mary” Parts 1 and 2 were a crazy concept that I came up with the night that Troy Davis was murdered by the State of Georgia—I’ll elaborate more on this later in another song. That night I was filled with so much emotion, that I needed a way to express it. Out of this situation came “Mary”. It’s odd because I think I unconsciously named it after a girl that I met earlier that night named “Mary”. The song is not about her in any sort of way, but the name just seemed so fitting for the song. Again, I admire the ability to tell stories in music that your listeners can really connect to emotionally and mentally. With that in mind, I wanted to tell a story that is very likely to happen in everyday life. Many people are victims of bullying in schools every day, and I feel that it is important that we bring this to the forefront. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death of young people in the United States. Many young boys and girls take their own lives because people are so judgmental of others and bully others because they are insecure about themselves. Once people feel like there is no escape from bullying or being judging them on a daily basis, they feel like everything else around them starts happening in a negative way. When “Mary’s” boyfriend “Paul”, comes in and saves her life, that was Mary’s beginning of what seemed like a fresh new start for her. Then just like that her Uncle molested her sister and he was killed the next day. Ironically enough, she was killed in a car accident leaving the funeral. It really went to show me to appreciate the life that I have been given, and to NEVER give up no matter how tough things get. I also recommend that you read this little entry, because it may change your life like it did mine.
