NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR:
Song demo recording in progress -- I will send it along to those who review this when it becomes available -- it is much more powerful with the music. I just got back from a long road trip and only had time to submit the lyrics.

This song is about all the kids I grew up with who died in early adulthood from drug ODs, mainly from Chinese fentanyl. The drug epidemic claims 100,000 lives in the US every year -- that's more than all suicides and car accidents combined. Where I grew up, everyone across socioeconomic strata knows multiple people who died and families who have been destroyed by addiction. The title "Blue Sky" is a reference to the name of a methamphetamine product in the well-known TV series "Breaking Bad". The image above of the meth from the show is displayed with attribution.
