This song was written when my daughter was experiencing that "Odd Phenomenon" one does after breaking off a bad relationship. Even though she was free of it, she sadly missed her ex

Hello, my name is Ron Rentz and currently I am "A Quality of Mercy." I hope to be welcoming new members to the band soon, but until they arrive it's just me. I write all the music and lyrics for the songs listed here on the site. I play rhythm guitar but mainly I do vocals. I create the music for my songs on a virtual music site, then send it to a friend of mine, Robert Lee Hall, c/o Trebor Labs Studio in Lancaster, KY. who produces all of my music, and will often add lead guitar or various other instruments. He is an extremely talented producer, and I'm thankful that he is comfortable working with me. My day job is being an RN, specialty emergency medicine. I believe my greatest strength is my lyric writing ability. It's old school, but some of my favorite mentors/ musicians provided me with a great education, i.e: Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Brian Wilson, Bryan Ferry, David Byrne, etc. I hope you'll take the time to listen to my music and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by...

Story behind the song
My daughter was having a hard time after a recent break up, she knew it was for the best, the relationship was long gone but that didn't lessen the loss. I've been there and I'll wager a lot of you have been there also. Plodding along in a toxic or just bad relationship, and when someone has the sense to end it, you become sad and melancholy instead of celebratory. An "Odd Phenomenon." This is a shortened version of the song, and as far as the licensing info below, just contact me if your interested in the song @ rnrentz@yahoo.com
Lyrics
Odd Phenomenon Music and Lyrics by: Ron Rentz I feel unwanted and confused today, I hope these feelings don’t last too long A little broken and misused today, but if you ask me I will tell you nothings wrong When the truth is I feel alone today, I shouldn’t be afraid to tell you nothings right Because the emptiness I feel today, can not compare to what I’m feeling every night Chorus And I don’t know where to start, I should be happy but I’m fighting back the tears And there’s a hole inside my heart, it’s been getting bigger now for all these years And the pain I feel inside, I can’t believe your leaving this too It’s the truth that I’ve denied, and though I’m happy to see you go, I miss you Verse 2 I guess I really am the fool today, I keep on thinking there is something wrong with me And you your acting so damn cool today, you must know something that the rest of us can’t see But I know I won’t be abused today, I won’t allow you to play games inside my head I guess you’ll have to play alone today, I’m going to minimize my damages instead Chorus And I don’t know where to start, I should be happy but I’m fighting back the tears And there’s a hole inside my heart, it’s been getting bigger now for all these years And the pain I feel inside, I can’t believe your leaving this too It’s the truth that I’ve denied, and though I’m happy to see you go, I miss you Bridge I don’t like you, in fact I hate you I call you names and I berate you, you’d kill my heart, if I would let you Then tell me why I can’t forget you Verse 3 I think I’m starting to feel alright today, I think my broken heart is starting to repair And if I had you in my sight today, I wouldn’t take the shot cuz frankly I don’t care I’m feeling wiser and so strong today, I can’t remember you and I can’t feel the pain Well maybe not that wise and strong today, you see I’ve met someone trhat I’m falling for again Chorus And I don’t know where to start, I should be happy but I’m fighting back the tears And there’s a hole inside my heart, it’s been getting bigger now for all these years And the pain I feel inside, I can’t believe your leaving this too It’s the truth that I’ve denied, and though I’m happy to see you go, I miss you Copyright 2009
