Story behind the song
About someone very close to me. My most personal lyric yet.
Lyrics
What gave you the right? What gave you the right gave you the right Gave you the right to take it away? What gave you the right gave you the right? (x2) She was just a young girl never meant to do no harm What gave you the right what gave you the right? Take away the cruel cold to somewhere safe and warm What gave you the right what gave you the right? Instrumental I wish that I could reach you but you just went and walked away What gave you the right what gave you the right? No thought of the damage that would last until this day. What gave you the right what gave you the right? Chorus

Love the acoustic piano and classical guitar sound! Good vocal and lyric as well.

I REALLY liked this! It all fitted together so well. It has made me want to play it again, which I will in a second, and hear others, which I will if I can! The keys were exquisite and the light guitar meant the balance overall was perfection, not always the case. Good tune, interesting lyric too.
