Collaboration with JAPOV several years ago.
Thought this deserved a second listen.

No. I think I would have remember hearing this song. I definitely missed it on 101. WHAT a powerful song! I had to write the lyrics out to look at the structure of it. It's not often that a song brings a tear to my eye. This one really made me feel for the girl.
The Bluest Blue My Eyes Had Ever Seen
I once lived next to a girl who always wore old jeans
She was young and shy and pretty, just barely in her teens
Sometimes she seemed so sad that it made me want to cry
I tried to be friend to her, but I couldn't ask her why
She'd softly sing the saddest songs that I had ever heard
High up in the branches like some fragile little bird
Sometimes she would shower a dozen times a day
But she couldn't seem to wash the stain of it away
And she would turn the bluest blue my eyes had ever seen
and walk out to her yard
and climb up in her tree
The scars upon her tiny wrist never seemed to fade.
Memories that she opened up with a razor blade
As she bled she'd clean it up so Daddy wouldn't know
She'd wear a long red sweater so it wouldn't show
She'd find herself a refuge from her father and his lust
The reason that she'd never love or even learn to trust
She knew she was his hostage no matter how she tried
Haunted by the guilt of it she'd hold the pain inside
And she turned the bluest blue my eyes had ever seen
and walk out to her yard
and climb up in her tree
I went to find her one morning. I knew just where she'd be.
So I looked over to her yard and she was high up in her tree
And she had turned the bluest blue my eyes had ever seen
Safely in eternal rest hanging from her tree
And she turned the bluest blue my eyes had ever seen
and walked out to her yard
and climbed up in her tree
I once knew a girl who always wore old jeans
Young and shy and pretty and barely in her teens

I was surprised he was able to put it to music. It's hard to not be affected by it.
Thanks
