A power ballad, for want of a better description, detailing my feelings shortly after I'd been dumped.

Artist picture
It's been described many things over the years: symphonic prog rock, prog rock, classic rock and general progressive rock.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer. I've worked as a session musician and sound engineer. I've played in many different bands up and down the country, covering numerous styles. I now do solo work and currently recording an album, which I'm hoping to take out on the road on a Pubs and Clubs tour at some point. My gear consists of: One Red Special replica, based on Brian May's, played through a Vox AC30 with a Boss Pedalboard, consisting of Boss Equaliser, Ibanez Tubescreamer, Marshall Chorus, Boss Acoustic Simulator (live use only), Boss Digital Delay and Boss Compressor/Sustainer. One 5-string bass, based on my own design and specs, played through an SWR Super Redhead with an SWR Interstellar Overdrive pre-amp. Both guitars were made by Hugh Manson, of Manson Guitars. I also use steel and nylon strung acoustics including a 12-string acoustic, an 8-string mandolin, a Yamaha DJX keyboard and a Rogue 8-string bass.

Story behind the song
Written shortly after I was dumped. Although not an original subject, this is my take on it. But I've written in a way that I hope it will reach out to other people.
Lyrics
Now that you've left me baby I'm all alone They say they care But they don't wanna hear me groan They call themselves my friends But to what purpose and what end? You tell me that They say that I've gotta be strong But how can I? When you left me I wanted to curl up and die Your rejection hit me hard Just like a knife through my heart And that is that Rejection's A Killer Kills me ev'ry single time Rejection's A Killer Should be thought of as a crime I thought I'd be used to it But I guess you never do Rejection's A Killer Love is too I've been try'n' to start a-new Since you're leaving But I return to old habits And start grieving My friends say that I'm a fool Sometimes they can be cold, heartless and cruel Why don't you step into my shoes And live my life? You will soon see That it's been slashed with a knife I gave you all I had to give Oh, now I've got no reason to live Rejection's A Killer It never gets any easier It'll eat you from the inside It destroys all of your pride The pain is indescribable By now you're reaching your fall Rejection's A Killer Don't be fooled Rejection's A Killer I'll be dead by the end of this Rejection's A Killer It all started with a kiss Now I'm empty I'm cold inside Don't run and hide because Rejection's A Killer It killed me And you're next...
