A song about my home town, about Justice lost and found, and the David Millgaard case.
On a personal note, I grew up five blocks from the murder site.
About ten years ago, friends rented the basement suite that the actual convicted killer Larry Fisher lived in, a few hundred yards south of that site.
I've been to a house party there (in the yard) just as my friend was diagnosed with terminal Cancer (was kept a secret from the attendees, but the purpose, to connect with friends, was effectively achieved that night).
A good friend is (still) married to Gail Miller's sister. They took a very long time to come around, long after most Canadians had come to believe him innocent, they were angry when he was released, five years before DNA evidence finally proved his innocence, and to finally accept he was innocent was for them to grieve a second time.
Naturally the song has always been moving to me. Worth one more play:
