DREW PRESTON

A couple of these songs on this page are from a few years back when my friend Owen was going through a terrible divorce. I guess you could say there is a little bit of my own personal shit in there too. I had gone through my own divorce a couple years earlier. PRE WARNING, at the time of these songs, I hated what his wife did to him and I really was just writing lyrics from what he was telling me over the phone late at night when he couldn't sleep!. Hey, It was fucked up and I had to be there for him, I wanted to be there for him, because you see, He was there for me. Thats how it works! So yah, you could say he spewed his turmoil, anguish and frustration and living fucking nightmare in one ear and I let it come out through "Fight of my life" and "Lonely". Walked Away and Whore of Satan were also inspired from the pain of Divorce. Writing these songs were like therapy for me, a way of dealing with all my anger.To this day, it's hard to listen to these songs without getting choked up. Actually, "FIGHT OF MY LIFE" cracks me up! (Sounds a little like Zappa, ya think he would be proud?) Anyway, it doesn't get much more personal then that. Thank God WE CAN get past the pain to the other side!........ There is life after divorce!
