Guess I've had my Yamaha for 2 years now. (I thought 3!) The news is full of the trial of the terrorist responsible, along with his deceased brother, for the injuries and death in Boston a couple of years ago. These two fanatics bombed the finish line and surrounding area at the Boston Marathon. As I watched television news there was a shot of graffiti spray- painted on a brick wall. The message was "Only Light Drives Darkness Away". After letting that sink in along with all the horrible details of the tragedy, I sat down at my brand new PSR S750 and composed and recorded this song. It was my way of dealing with this tragedy. I was extremely distraught as an 8 year old boy was killed and his mother severely injured. I used to teach 8 year olds and I thought of how devasted I and the rest of the class would be if this had happened when I was a primary teacher.
I hope you pick up on the message of hope I tied to weave into this tragic song.
