original music by Kari Smith "The Bottle Must Be Bigger"



This is one of the most difficult songs I have ever written or recorded. One of the reasons that music means to much to me is that it is such an effective outlet for my emotions, and one of my biggest goals is that my music reaches people wherever they are, happy or sad, thriving or struggling. This is not a happy song. It's not about hope and smiles and happy endings. It's about hopelessness and despair and frustration. It's about facing a loved one's addiction and feeling completely powerless. And if there is ONE person who can listen to it and say "wow... I guess I'm not alone..." it would mean the world to me.
