I almost couldn't finished this song and broke down crying after I completed it. It's about someone I used to love/still love that I lost to drug addiction, severe depression, and suicide. I haven't talked to anyone about it, and just buried the emotions until I wrote this song today, confronting this was emotionally exhausting, but I strangely do feel better after letting it all come to the surface, never realized how much I held in.
Hope you enjoy something I wrote from a deep place in my soul and heart stranger, enjoy.

This is a 'fragment' ...just first verse and chorus with very basic instrumentation (all GarageBand) - a lot more work to do on this. The title is a pun on Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven' - sort of shifted to modern times - The idea being that loss and regret are felt just as deeply today as they were when the poem was written 170 years ago.
Words to this fragment:
Been ravin' all night but I'm feeling low
This ravin' crowd could never know
Lenore you were my best girl and I miss you so
And the beat of the band just beats me down
It's after midnight and I'm so damn weary
New York city's looking dark and dreary
I call your name but its much to late
Never again it’s just the kiss of fate
So sure that I heard your voice just now
I need to see you one more time
The beat of your heart, the beat of my heart,
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
