about

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was written from the point of view of a parent with their daughter trapped inside Parkland Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school during the mass shooting, in which 17 were killed, on Valentine’s Day 2018.

The song offers hope that common sense will prevail.

The music and bare-bones lyrics were written by Chris Korzen. Steve Minotti added thoughtful insights to the lyrics, and delivers them with all the anguish that must’ve been felt on that day.

lyrics

St. Valentine's Day Massacre (Korzen-Minotti)

Last Wednesday morning bullets fell like rain
I got the terrifying call
My baby’s trapped beneath a desk under an overcoat
I felt the wall’s begin to fall

I don’t remember taking Coral Ridge Drive
To meet my wife up at the school
I just remember all the yellow tape and the barricades
Every emotion screaming out

CHORUS I:
My heart and my soul are in there
My hope and my dream and a prayer
I love her so and she needs to know
Her daddy’s with her

We’ve been through hell and back - what seems like a lifetime
That don’t compare to what she saw
And now the healing will begin it’s long, long journey back
Will there ever be resolve at all?

Now every time something happens like this
“It’s not the guns, it’s mental health”
What will we do about this problem we just talk about?
To change the mind behind the gun

CHORUS II:
My heart and my soul are in there
My hope and my dream and a prayer
I love her so - it’s time she knows
it can never, ever happen again

We don’t need no NRA
We don’t need no LaPierre
We don’t need no machine guns
We just need to save our young
