Testimonial
“I wanted you to know, I just played it for my wife (and she is very protective of me and my songs) she thought it was incredible.
Sounds like your composer really had some chemistry with those lyrics. Thanks David. Very impressed and happy. Great Job and please pass on my appreciation to the composer for the time and attention.”
Story Behind the Song
Long Way Down tells the tale of what happens after the end of a relationship. The lyricist cries, “Sympathy is a drug you feed on/when there’s no one left to blame.” The darkness falls at the end of the day when “it’s a long way back to wonderful/to love again/away from you.” Trust is destroyed, and the once-beloved is “as empty as the smile painted on.” Listen and feel the depth of love and hurt in the song Long Way Down.
