No Picture Eric Average	#1 by Eric Boozer at Feb 27, 1970 at 6:33 AM EST
	it's about dan's (the singer's) friend who committed suicide and the reaction of his friend's family and his own.

No Picture Dustin Wanna Be	#2 by Dustin Cogburn at Nov 14, 1977 at 8:09 PM EST
	attn: fiveyearx the song "a fall farewell" is about dan's brother, "to think of you.." is about a close friend.

	This song is simply beautiful. "when you shut your eyes and fell asleep dark clouds descended on the souls of the ones who held you close to their hearts and the rain that came gently met your tears they became one and seeped into the earth " that is breathetaking. when i listen to this part, i picture an open field, and black clouds encircling all around. this is just such a powerful song; as are all of Zao's songs.

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#4 by Patrick Wade at Sep 11, 1986 at 3:02 PM EST
	yeah, it's weird because i went and saw them a few times on their last tour and at two of the shows dan said that the song was about a friend of his that killed himself after his girlfriend broke up with him and at another one dan said that it was about his brother...

No Picture randy Professional	#5 by randy taylor at Oct 19, 1995 at 9:26 PM EST
	you ever think that more than one person could have comitted suicide and thats what inspired dan?

No Picture Daniel Average	#6 by Daniel Johnson at Nov 16, 1998 at 4:37 AM EST
	this is one of the best songs that zao has ever written. unlike most bands who just write angry music all the time, yet they dont really feel it, zao writes music that could sound much more angry than anything, yet it is so beautiful and heartfelt. zao is by far the best hardcore band ever, even though i also love norma jean.

	Can ZAO even write a bad song? I don't think so.

No Picture Josh Average	#9 by Josh Duncan at May 21, 2005 at 6:05 AM EST
	the title alone is genious
