Trabue Gentry began writing music at age twelve and has since penned over 150 musical compositions. In the 70's he teamed with friends Kevin Sterner and Dennis Neff, performing live shows in the midwest. Neff moved on to other musical ventures, and Gentry and Sterner continued composing and performing as a duo. In 1977, the two met with a major Nashville record producer, Pete Drake, and were offered a recording contract on the spot. Most unfortunately, personal issues prevented them from moving forward with the deal. Overwhelmed by the dissapointment over this lost opportunity, Gentry abandoned music and pursued other business interests. Gentry and Sterner went their separate ways. Years later Gentry and Sterner crossed paths again, resuming their friendship and rekindling their interest in music, even revisiting the possibilities of releasing some of those songs the Nashville producer was convinced had great promise. Today Gentry is working on several musical projects, new and old. Realizing he can't rely on others to make things happen, he's pulled some of those lost treasures off the shelf for a revisit and began composing new. Other musicians have since demonstrated great interest in working on some of these previously unreleased tunes. Gentry is now working on several creative musical collaborations and is crafting the World Music Project, a cross-continental project with promising new artists.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song fairly cryptically. I would very much like to see how many listeners can determine what the actual meaning is. Go ahead and put your interpretations in my Comments. It should be interesting to see how differently people interpret this song.
Lyrics
Burning bridges at the alter saying grace and that you do with this done the war is over but, the battle's never through Songs are sung in admiration medals given in exchange no one practices the meaning is it so far out of range? With the bandages around you some security is found but, the wound is so much deeper it may put you in the ground With the battle almost over sides are running out of plays having lost the battle evenly both go on their separate ways Never owning one another though they thought this was untrue Nothing gained from their encounter What they had they never knew
