Details:
My Empty House - Songs for Victims of Crime - is an original concept that draws on Brooks'' personal experience in attempting to cope with the loss of his younger brother who was murdered 17 years ago in Smyrna, Tennessee. His brother''s killer has never been brought to trial. For Brooks, this music project is a unique attempt to communicate the emotional turmoil that a survivor feels concerning the loss of a loved one and the never-ending search for justice.
These songs touch upon experiences to which only a victim could relate; for example, other''s attempts at giving comfort and advice; the loneliness that comes with loss while the criminal goes unpunished; general comments made by the larger community that reveal how little they understand. "Knowing that there are others out there who have suffered and have survived brings a little comfort," says the songwriter. Brooks'' music speaks to non-victims as well, introducing thoughts and ideas uncommon to most. Meaning at several levels can be found throughout My Empty House.
Brooks sees victims of violent crime as "America''s forgotten sector of society." In the U. S. in particular, our society is intensely focused on criminals and the nature of their crimes, and rarely gives genuine attention to the victims and their surviving family members.
Besides raising donations for charities, My Empty House is also being made available to organizations that support victims of crime to be used as a possible revenue source for their programs.
