This started off as me trying to do a Nirvana piece except, I borrowed the general feel of You Keep Me Hanging On by Vanilla Fudge.

Do It Yourself Alternative
Since receiving his first guitar at age 12 (a 1965 Silvertone) Ryan has been writing and playing music for his personal enjoyment for more than 30 years. After years of putting his music on assorted cassettes (and a 8 year layoff to take care of career and kids) Ryan put Pro Tools on an old computer in the back bedroom and began writing, playing and recording music again. It's a life-long hobby for him. Ryan plays guitar, bass and keyboards and uses a drum machine for the beats.

Story behind the song
The was written after Kurt Cobain's suicide and has sat in a drawer for years. It's basically a screed about the waste of it all. The first two verses is written from the perspective of someone who has reached the end of his rope and is contemplating ending it all and then sees a fly on the wall. The second part is the fly's perspective of what he's witnessing. The end verse is the disgust of the general population to what happened in that room where the fly is the only living witness.
Lyrics
I see a little fly on the wall Maybe it will answer my call Fly, oh fly away fly on the wall You pull my soul across broken glass You threw it in the trash Pick it up please, oh fly on the wall Why'd you do it? Why'd you take that step? Why'd you go all the way? I wish I was a fly on the wall And I would be there and watch you fall And I won't answer your call Fly on the wall
