Look in the garden and remember the children shot down for nothing as they went through the day look at the mother, as she runs to protect them laid down her life so they could live today What about the children what about the love the families and the loved ones what were they thinking of What about the the children, that started all the tears they also ruined their own loves their actions brought the fear, and now what is the answer now that they pulled the trigger? the reasons don't matter could we feel any sadder? as they fired the shots that destroyed all the dreams they wanted to 'get even' look at all the lives they shattered the end of the road not clear so it seems What about the children what about the love the families and the loved ones what were they thinking of What about the the children, that started all the tears they also ruined their own loves their actions brought the fear, and now what is the answer now that they pulled the trigger? look in the windows, the silence is so loud look in the schoolyard, where once she walked so proud the lady saw and acted, to save one who could die soon she was a 'hero' a good reason to cry....

about

This cd consists of several tracks that were written in other bands but never released or recorded. Mind Games, Head Games was originally written in a band called Tombstone, They Were Children Too was written for AVALON USA, and the song, Seven Sources was written in the band ORION, but only performed 3 times, and then done in the band ALASKA after some extensive re-arranging. The rest of the tracks are new.

Look In The Garden is dedicated to Shannon Wright, killed in Jonesboro, Arkansas while trying to protect students under fire from their own classmates. A long time ago. Sadly this still happens. Shelter In Place is an instrumental recorded because of the pandemic lockdown.

about

SEVEN SOURCES New York

SEVEN SOURCES is Joel Pirard.. but also a lot more:
I have been in quite a few bands,. I learned to write songs and compositions with them, each with their own styles and nuances. I put some of these out with them and more out under an umbrella I call SEVEN SOURCES, which is me with occasional guests, now with additional collections of legacy material and new recordings of some of it! Enjoy! ... more
