A very powerful song about loving the wrong thing, giving yourself over to it, and consequences you pay. A wicked twist at the end... This song was produced by Robert Lee Hall @ Trebor Labs Studios, Lancaster, KY. Many thanks Robert

Hello, my name is Ron Rentz and currently I am "A Quality of Mercy." I hope to be welcoming new members to the band soon, but until they arrive it's just me. I write all the music and lyrics for the songs listed here on the site. I play rhythm guitar but mainly I do vocals. I create the music for my songs on a virtual music site, then send it to a friend of mine, Robert Lee Hall, c/o Trebor Labs Studio in Lancaster, KY. who produces all of my music, and will often add lead guitar or various other instruments. He is an extremely talented producer, and I'm thankful that he is comfortable working with me. My day job is being an RN, specialty emergency medicine. I believe my greatest strength is my lyric writing ability. It's old school, but some of my favorite mentors/ musicians provided me with a great education, i.e: Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Brian Wilson, Bryan Ferry, David Byrne, etc. I hope you'll take the time to listen to my music and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by...

Story behind the song
This is about "denial and self exile," have you ever had a love for someone and you knew it was bad, no toxic, and you kept right on doing the same thing, willing to lose everything to keep your love alive. Well it's kind of like that, only worse. I think the ending will blow you away
Lyrics
Strange Relationship By: Ron Rentz Verse 1 I don’t recall exactly where it was, or when it was that we first met. And though I find it hard to remember, your even harder to forget. It was a casual relationship, we didn’t see each other much I never dreamed that every night and day, I’d be left longing for your touch But as time passed we grew closer, and you became more than a friend You were my first thought when I woke up and my last thought at days end Chorus I really fell for you, I lived through hell for you I had no possessions that, I wouldn’t sell for you I gave you complete control, I gave you my heart and soul And no one will ever know how much of my life you stole. Verse 2 Was it the strength you seemed to give me or the way you made me feel? It was that very strength that made me weak, and all those feelings were unreal But you never once objected, in fact you seemed to urge me on I was alive when I was with you, but almost dead when you were gone All my friends saw what was going on, but they weren’t quite sure what to do They found it strange I had no time for them, cuz I spent all my time with you Chorus Yeah I really fell for you, I lived through hell for you I had no possessions that, I wouldn’t sell for you I gave you complete control, I gave you my heart and soul And no one will ever know how much of my life you stole. Verse 3 Please forgive me if it sounds as though I’m blaming you for what transpired I am a man who can’t escape much less control what he desired I know we’ve all been hurt by love before, that isn’t what this songs about It’s about denial and self exile and one mans struggle to get out If you’ve walked a mile inside these shoes and you have seen what I have seen Then it’s no shock to you, you know this villain’s methamphetamine Chorus Yeah I really fell for you, I lived through hell for you I had no possessions that, I wouldn’t sell for you I gave you complete control, I gave you my heart and soul And no one will ever know how much of my life you stole. a Ron Rentz 2013

ok you know my fave songs from you are "Let me sleep" and "I woke up in your dreams" and this one comes in very closely to them..I love the lead guitar in this, it is well produced (good on ya Rob!) and the lyrics are great..The vocals sound good, great job!
