Hurt

As life enters its final chapter, one looks back and thinks of the many mistakes, and of the friends and loved ones lost because of them.

If only I could live life over again, I would follow the path I believe is right.

This song gives voice to that ache—a feeling almost everyone encounters at some point—sung like a monologue, or like a quiet conversation with an old friend sitting right beside you.

The simple yet beautiful melodies of acoustic guitar and piano gently resonate deep in the heart.
