I kneel alone upon a hill outside the city
My fingers grip a rounded stone that bears a name
My tears are falling on a letter that I wrote you
The wilted flowers sing the silence of my pain

It's like a picture perfect scene of love
and grief and hate and loss
And it's okay that i still love you
when i kiss her lips
Cause you are dead and she's alive
and it was time that I move on

She doesn't look like you, but she feels like an angel
She holds a broken man, her head upon my chest
I never told her of the letter that I wrote you
It's the only way I had of laying you to rest

It's like a picture perfect scene of love
and grief and hate and loss
And it's okay that i still love you
when i kiss her lips
Cause you are dead and she's alive
and it was time that I move on

The letter fades upon a hill outside the city
Leaned on the headstone of someone I've never met
I know it's wrong that I pretend you're underneath it
But that's the only way I ever will forget

"Ps I love you"

I can't help but be reminded of that movie, but reversed to the man's point of view. I'm not ashamed that this song actually reduced me to tears. I'm not lying, these lyrics are far to effective to just be on Newgrounds. This needs a broader audience, but as it is.. I am proud to be one of the minority of people who have heard this song.

Hope you make it big one day, whether you be playing stadium shows or just become an Indie cult sensation. Cheers man

Thanks buddy. I still play out... who knows. Maybe someday, enough people will hear. I guess I'm not really after fame, otherwise you'd think i'd have figured otu how to get it by now :-) for me it's worth it if one person finds that a song I wrote helped them in some way.

Zachary...
This is just fantastic. When I listen to this, I hear somebody, who made it from His heart. That makes it amazing, and yes: Perfect.
Ratings cant describe, how beautiful is this.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Hungary. :)

"Beautiful"

A truely amazing piece of work. But as I keep saying, why only 55 downloads? It doesn't make sense! I'm not JUST saying this, but you really need to get your band off the ground! Get a drummer, slightly improve your guitar playing and well, you're already up there with other bands. Come on Zholoch, you gotta do it. Just reading the response you gave to nomoreheroes made me understnad the lyrics, although the start and middle are clear the whole 'she's alive and I'm alive' thing was confusing, but I superb, deep, well-written and played masterpiece, If you don't get this band of the ground and you don't get anywhere I'll still show my children these songs, because they're amazing.

Every piece of encouragement I can muster:

Chapalain

P.S I'm giving you a ten because this song deserves it, the critisizm I gave is purely all your songs in general, with the exception of the strange (But imaginative) 'I' song and 'Carribean Cruise'.
