back This Perfect Kiss This is a rough one…..My good friend Tara MacLean lost her younger sister Shaye in a tragic car accident a few years ago. She and her boyfriend were driving to Montreal together…they were very much in love…and I believe, rather at one with the universe at the time. Shaye pulled over to the side of the road to give her boyfriend a kiss when someone driving on the same road was distracted with the radio or something, went onto the shoulder as well, and hit them from behind… taking her life (he survived.) At the very moving service, Tara and I were talking about how some people live their whole lives without experiencing what Shaye was probably feeling just before the impact…and the song came from that conversation. (Tara’s band is named after her sister.)  - Lennie
