Deer Song (Considering Matthew Shepard - released September 9, 2016) Craig Hella Johnson (1962 -)
"This song is based on the story told by a sheriff who was the first officer on the scene when Shepard was found in a coma, near death. She said there was a deer lying next to the fence when she arrived. The sheriff said the doe’s eyes were penetrating – almost to say, “Are you going to take care of him?” She also noted that the ground was quite warm after the deer left, suggesting the doe had been there for a while. Johnson says the deer story gave him some perspective on the hours when Shepard likely felt utterly alone." Performing Social Justice Pieces: Considering Matthew Shepard.
