BreAnn Hanks – “Why” was first composed ten years ago

Written by Staff on 17 September 2022

I came up with this song almost ten years ago. I was on the phone with a guy, I was in a relationship with at the time and he worked on a ranch. He was very upset one day and he told me the calves on the ranch were neglected all day, never fed or given water or milk. I’ve always been against neglect and abuse and my ex-boyfriend’s experience that day, inspired the song. Throughout the years I would write and rewrite the song until I got it perfect. It took three drafts in between work, chores, and doing my best to make the world a better place, saving animals that were abandoned out by where I live. This song is special to me, because even though I was never physically abused, abandoned, or neglected, I’m an empath for all those who have. I pray for them, and wrote this for them in hopes that they will find a better place.
