About This Track

This song is an emotional outpouring about my best friend from high school, David Barker, who suddenly took his own life last year.
Looking back reading his emails he alluded to a “cloud of darkness” in his writings. At the time, I read right past it and didn’t even notice those words. You always feel guilty like you should have tried something when something like this happens. Depression is a confused and hopeless state that drives people to desperate lengths. All I can say is don’t be afraid to talk about it and try to be open if others are trying to reach out. Musically, this song started as instrumental demo that Tim made called “Jerrybird.”

    I've seen 311 six times all at Red Rocks, they put on such an awesome show. Thyis is probably my favorite song of theirs.

    I just couldn't stop crying when I heard this live. After years of being abused I did think of suicide, but, I thankfully changed my mind, and besides the Bible, I have 311. <3

    Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if you have to, find the reason of anothers pain if they lose, if not for yourself then those around who care like I do, one day you'll see the clear blue
