I created this video in memory of the one adult and five children killed in this horrible tragedy due to drunk driving. Many of you may have seen this story on the news just before New Year’s Eve 2008. This is about the crash that took place on interstate 280 in Toledo, Ohio on December 30, 2007. Michael Gagnon, 24, was driving drunk and hit the minivan of the Griffin-Burkman family killing five of the eight family members inside and seriously injuring two others. This is one of the most tragic examples of drunk driving I have ever seen. Please don’t drink and drive!

It is about time somebody put just the song up. Message me if you want me to put any more up. The Great Depression, 2006 Defiance Ohio. We walk at the paths at the banks of the mighty Susquehanna, with our feet made muddy by your tributaries that trickle their way to the Chesapeake. It’s like we follow I-83 down to harbor cities with strip malls and tar-mac, people swirling and teeming. It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight. I grew up near Kentucky’s Mt. Zion Road and all that was there was some old cemetery. All I wanted [was] to be able to walk to the store. Now I don’t live there but there’s too many stores, some apartments, and a Sunoco. And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? [2x] Oh, Susquehanna! [4x] And I miss that place behind my house where I hiked and climbed and played, where I ditched this noisy century or just hid out from the decade. MI homes thought it could stand to be updated, forced it all into a grid until it looked like the funny pages. With every trace of life, it seems, confined within a frame, the faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same. And the punch lines are resoundingly unfunny for those trapped in this architecture of easy money. And I feel like this could all come to no good. The kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood beneath those cookie cutter houses: fields and streams and woods. They’ll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them out of this boring neighborhood. Oh …

LYRICS: In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep Trying to keep my hands upon the wheel Never saw the corner in the driving rain I never saw her step into the street Dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep Memories to keep Dreaming while you sleep I can never understand what went thru my mind I didn’t stop to see what I had done Had to keep on driving deep into the night The miles between would somehow put it right Dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep Memories to keep Dreaming while you sleep All my life, you lie silently there All my life in a world so unfair All my life and only I’ll know why And it will live inside of me I will never be free all my life Trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes Please open your eyes Dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV But could I take my secret to the grave If I had another chance, would I do the same Would I still deny that it was me Dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep Are you dreaming while you sleep? All my life, I’ll be haunted by All my life, just one moment in time All my life until the day I die And it will live inside of me Oh I will never be free all my life Trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes All of my life, you lie silently there All my life, in a world so unfair All my life and only I’ll know why And it will live inside of me I will never be free …
