“Kids of Glue”, the song that signifies children who live in hunger and poverty; the kids who belong to no parent beyond the streets. The introduction of the piece expresses the frank insecurities and deep anxiety experienced by street kids and every rough waking morning. This turbulent mood repeated during each of the musical solos and lines are a reminder of a permanent and constant daily struggle. Children of the streets are never provided with a moment to forget or liberate themselves from their troubles - even if they chose to lie in bed all day to escape, they would still experience hurt through starvation and exhaustion. The end of each day for street kids finishes the same way they begin: without hope for a better tomorrow. The crowded streets of Bucharest and the unending cycle of clutter inspired the development of “Kids of Glue”. As I jogged around this soiled and filthy area, I was overcome with tears of anger that subsided with a deep-seated feeling of helplessness -a realization that having neither rage nor broken-heartedness would help the children of the streets. I am haunted by memories of their deep brown gazes, the glue in their small hands, and the narrowly grime alleys of Bucharest. “Kids of Glue” was produced in remembrance of those children of the streets.

I love HLAG submissions that aren't the usual metal, pop, or funk entries. Very musical jazz drumming. And you composed this? Very impressive. Sadly I am not sure of the viability of jazz music from a financial standpoint but from a creative musical standpoint this was outstanding! Good luck in HLAG!
