Story behind the song
Carrie Hamilton was the most courageous, OUTrageous,creative and caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. we had been friends for 12 years and she was by biggest supporter till the very end. She knew I'd keep the music going. Well, Carrie...this one's all about you.
Lyrics
" The Spirit of Carrie Louise " - Les July In a life you rarely see a presence so alive, In after-life, transition made...your spirit still remains. On a day I asked you for a sign, you sent a bird that bears my name, a friend of yours, now a friend of mine. The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise Then you were an angel waiting and now you wait no more. On the rare times when it's raining, I feel your tears of joy. Thanks for all the journeys on a limb, you let the music that us there, anytime...anywhere. The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise The strangest combination of people are gathered in one room. The only thing they have in common is the love they have for you. On a day I asked you for a sign, you sent a bird that bears my name friend of yours, now a friend of mine. Thanks for all the journeys on a limb, you let the music that us there, anytime...anywhere. The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise The Spirit of Carrie Louise...
