Story behind the song

Everyone loses a relationship every now and again especially while still in your early teen years.  I was no exception and this song was written about the memory and the emotions one experiences as a result of losing a very close female friend when I was a young man. This piece is applicable for both young male and female adults coming to an age and in search of your lifelong husband or wife. It is the emotion of loss I wanted to get across through music and I hope I have done this through Cryin Game.
