Pro General Comments: In my opinion this song will be a very limited pitch if you are looking for a publisher or an artist. This song is about sexual abuse happening to a child which is a very sad heartbreaking subject. This might work if you find an artist associated with an organization dedicated to preventing and stopping child sexual abuse.The girl is pleading for help but the listener is unable to come to her defense. It's disturbing. She never says who is abusing her so that leaves it up to your listener to guess. Is it her dad and her mom or other family members or friends? It's more than one person because you say them. There is no ray of hope for this girl. There is no ending to this story. She is trapped to be abused over and over again. As the listener I found it hard to get through because I have two sons and a daughter. I felt powerless and angry that someone was hurting this little girl and i couldn't stop them. The vocal was very pitchy but I know this is only a rough version and you have a female vocalist in mind. The song is almost 4:00 long which is pushing the time restraints of radio.
Quote From Pro: Paul Reidy isn't afraid to tackle one of the most heartbreaking subjects in today's society...sexual child abuse. This song will make you angry and cry at the same time and hopefully think of a way to help.
