Thanks for listening!

This song is pretty close to my heart, and in truth, I do have a reason for posting this Single 'Hurts Like Hell'.

FIrst, it would make sense for me to to open up a little and share some of my Spirit.
My wife and I Lost our son in June 2013. His name was Buddy. He was stillborn at 42 weeks. It's truly quite difficult to express the hurt I felt upon losing Buddy. Experiencing a significant loss placed me at a crossroads where I could have hit rock bottom, or reached for the stars. The healing process is monumental but I'm blessed to have a beautiful, strong and loving wife and inspirational family. I'm also fortunate to have, quite possibly, the best group of mates anybody could ask for.

Hurts Like Hell is a tribute to our Son, and all the parents, family, and loved ones who have experienced the tragic loss of a child. 'Saying Goodbye, before having the opportunity to say Hello' is a devastating loss to contend with.

With help from four of my good friends and old bandmates, I was able to make some sense of my loss through music. This song was made into a reality because of them. Thankyou brothers.

The organisation 'SANDS' leads the community in support for parents and families who experience the loss of their baby before, during or shortly after birth. SANDS also advocates for continual improvements in quality of care, and promotes research and improvements in practice to save babies' lives. SANDS offers empathy and understanding and the opportunity to talk, listen and share experiences in a safe, non-judgmental and caring environment.

SANDS Queensland provided us with great support and for this reason all profits for 'Hurts Like Hell' will be donated to the charity to enable them to continue offering excellent support to grieving parents.

It would be very meaningful if you visited iTunes and showed your support through purchasing the track

I guess I'll finish this blurb by expressing some personal philosophies...
The ability to just sit in the rubble with someone when it hits the fan, is more valuable than anyone can imagine. To not be in intimidated by someones grief; to be present with them heart and soul, is utterly priceless to the person who is experiencing pain. It's not what you say, its what you do. Life is short my friends; too short. Don't live with unfinished business, and strive to accomplish peace within yourself and with others. None of us will be exempt form experiencing significant loss. Grief unites us all and is a process we will each have to surrender to at some stage in our lives. Have the courage to suffer, and the courage to be true to yourself.

We all have the ability to see beauty in the world; even in the face of such terrible adversity.

Again, thanks for looking me up. I hope you enjoy the track
