My condolences to Landon’s friends and loved ones: 

When Landon and I were young we were really close, we would have nerf wars play card/board games and just do all the things you would see from typical kids. But Landon wasn’t just any typical kid, he had his own unique personality that made him a very lovable person. He would always be there for anyone who needed a shoulder to lean on,  regardless of who they were. 

I wrote a song for Landon, his friends, and his family. It took me over a year and a half to finally decide to write and send this song in so I hope it has a meaningful impact on you guys.

A letter to my cousin:

[verse1]

I remember nights we laughed, shared dreams in the dark,

You were my heart, bro, now it’s missing a spark,

Landon, you slipped through the cracks of this life,

Chasin' shadows, just tryin' to survive the strife,

Pills in the silence, they promised you peace,

But now all that’s left is this pain that won’t cease,

Thought you could sleep, but you drifted away,

Now we’re left with these words, with this heartache to play,

[chorus]

Landon, you’re gone, but your spirit remains,

In every corner of my mind, I’ll carry your name,

A memory in echoes, like whispers in the wind,

Though you took the last step, our bond’ll never end,

[verse2]

Days pass by, but the clock doesn’t heal,

Each sunrise a reminder of how hard it feels,

You had dreams, big plans, but they crumbled away,

Reality hit hard, couldn’t find the words to say,

Pill bottle open, a crutch turned to chains,

Lost in the fog, like drowning in rain,

You wore that smile, but inside you were lost,

Now I wear the weight of a heart broken and tossed,

[chorus]

Landon, you’re gone, but your spirit remains,

In every corner of my mind, I’ll carry your name,

A memory in echoes, like whispers in the wind,

Though you took the last step, our bond’ll never end,

[bridge]

So here’s to the nights we dreamt beneath the stars,

I’ll keep you alive, through the verses and bars,

In every beat that hits, you know you’re the spark,

Landon, your light shines in the depths of my heart,

[chorus]

Landon, you’re gone, but your spirit remains,

In every corner of my mind, I’ll carry your name,

A memory in echoes, like whispers in the wind,

Though you took the last step, our bond’ll never end.

Sincerely, Leland Savage
