We had a song that felt like a soundtrack for Ricardo Lopez' life --and death. I'm an artist, not a stalker of serial killers or a bandleader for unfocused acts of random violence. I see a lost soul fastening onto a celebrity-mirage, that's all. Just a tiny vacuum seeking out a larger vacuum. 

My final sentiment is, Ricardo, may you find peace on the other side. I don't know how anyone could wish anything less.

The song is 'That's Why I Chose You'  We're Razorwire n' Voodoo

That's Why I Chose You (N. Ball/P. Millington)

Saint of Darkness, steer me through
secret alleys, forbidden views
Life that feeds its rage for order
feel my rage now gather you!
that's why I chose you

We are One beneath the swoon
of an undulating moon
Screams outnumber sirens
Let no love tear asunder
my unobstructed view

That's why I chose you

As I memorize your bedroom hair
from a window unaware
I've been crawling through
razorwire n' voodoo
just to get to you
because you want me to
because it's what I do
because all spells need two

I'm this world's Redeemed Redeemer
a blackened-heart epiphany
a unrepentant mutiny
star-crossed for eternity
the moon's most hidden art
promise made til death do part

We were fated for collision
two souls in collapsing time
I always knew
I always knew
Cutters always do
God's not coming through
God's not coming through
That's why I chose you
That's why I chose you
