This heart-wrenching song trickled into Josh's brain one day a couple years after the unfortunate events of the Boston Marathon Bombing. Sunil Tripathi, a young Brown University undergraduate student, was wrongly accused on social media of being involved in the bombings. He went missing in March of 2013 and his body was found in the Seekonk River in April, after the bombers had already been apprehended. Josh brought this tune to the band shortly after we began playing together, and it's been a staple ever since (with some refinement here and there).
This song is dedicated to the memory of Sunil Tripathi, and to all those wrongfully accused of crimes. Click here for chords

This is Sam's arrangement of a traditional Irish tune called Creggan White Hare. It depicts a frustrating sequence of hunts in which a spritely rabbit evades capture by numerous hounds and their so-called "jolly sportsmen". Solid tune best played on a guitar or Irish bouzouki with melodic accompaniment.
