A friend said I seemed to like suffering as I was always going to him with my tales of heartbreak. So I wrote this song during the summer of 1998 on my lunchbreaks and titled it "Necesito Sufrir(I Need to Suffer). Performed with Claudio Carminati on Harp(this guy is incredible!) our duo was "PO'Boys" and we had a very short-lived, yet strong and succesful show together.
Unfortunately we parted ways in early 2000 due to personal differences.

My children they love me
And so does my wife
A good paying job
have friends and good life

The people they greet me
where-ever I go
and even the stray dogs
wanna follow my toes

oh but no!!
this was not meant for me
because I...
just to suffer I need

when I was a young boy
my momma told me
life is so precious
why you need to cry?
but I never listened
not one single word
and now here I stand
and can't understand why

because no!
this was not meant for me...
because I...
just to suffer I need
