Subject: RE: Writing about people's private lives?
I hope you do write and share that song. There is a line in Bird on a Wire that says: "like a beast with it's horn, like a babe still born, i have torn every one who reached out to me" A birth is meant to be a joyous event and when it is not, we are not prepared to respond. I had a sibling who was still born, and consequently i lived the life of an only child. This event changed my life forever, and my families' lives as well. You will be speaking for many others in your song. I hope I get to hear it. Laurel
