"In this Diary"
by the Ataris
Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
Right now is all that matters
All the nights we stayed up talking
and listening to 80's songs;
quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart,
and eventually you'll finally get it right.

William Richardson. The Town Sweetheart, Bad boy, Hope for the future, Lost.
On the 30th of April 2007 William Richardson was murdered.
This is the story of how Ashgrove lives on, or not. Old disputes are brought back, feelings fly, and the police department is over flowing with reports. No one knows still, who killed their Pride and Joy.

"Dare you to Move"
by Switchfoot
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
--------------------------------
Can they take steppes to move on, or is it too painful, the town will fall into disrepair, it's up to you, the citizens of this once joyful and filled with life community. Overcome the grief, the sorrow, and respect those feelings that will never be left behind.
--------------------------------
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
--------------------------------
Some are in denial, bring them back to reality. Make sure they know what happened, bring justice back. Who killed William? Some think the answer is the only solution to stand up and move on. To have the one responsible behind bars.
--------------------------------
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
--------------------------------
Fights. Misdirected anger is flaring up almost everywhere. The gossip circle wants answer and truth, even if it's a false truth. They want the family out of their grief, their greed for justice is to strong. Could they settle for less?
--------------------------------
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
--------------------------------
The healing process has begun.
--------------------------------
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

"Looking Back On Today"
by the Ataris
30th of April, seems like yesterday.
We bought a house above the ocean
where our kids could laugh and play.
Remember those nights,
playing "Summer wind" on the juke box of the bar we used to go.
We made out in the bathroom and you walked me to my house,
I tried to convince you not to go home.
If only I had more time...
England(Ashgrove) isn't the same without you here
If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes
that I could spend with you...
Fall in love with you again and again.
