My name is Bruce Mahoney and I have been writing music for numerous years in many different settings and cities. I started my project studio with a Yamaha 4-track cassette deck in my bedroom as a way to capture my own musical ideas. I have now expanded to the digital realm in an 18' x 12' "tuned" room in my garage. I listed 'alternative' as the genre for my music but it runs the gamut. If I have an idea for a song in a certain style I go for it.

Story behind the song
I usually write a song parody for relatives on their birthdays. I deviated from the norm with this one. It's been sorta in my head for a while but lyrically it kept sounding too much like 'The Wrong Child' by REM. I finally finished it and April and I sang it at Shannon's 40th Birthday Party last month.
Lyrics
I have seen expressions on their faces of sorrow I can almost understand try to hide looks akin to hatred through a smile (but ) you see it in their eyes They see her and thinks she's different the difference is they have a lot to learn She sees them and thinks no different what a difference if we come to be like her Simple things to her seem most impressive while to us they're insignificant she smiles at them you realize that so are you she brings more joy than they'll ever know...still They see her and think she's different the difference is they have a lot to learn She sees them and sees no difference what a difference if we come to be like her We can't dwell on their ignorance we have even thought that way ourselves but if we follow her example then it might be easier to claim...that We see her and think no different the difference is we still have yet to learn...cuz she sees us and thinks no different what a difference if we come to be like her.
