"Life Sentence" was inspired after reading "La compuerta Numero 12" from Baldomero Lillo, it´s one of those stories that makes you think about the so called "economic progress", for the ones with some social conscience it´s very hard to see how progress means that the poor stay poor and the rich get richer.
This story develops inside a mine were a little boy is forced to work on an age were he should be attending school, he´s working not by force, lack of conciseness, but by need, a poor father that puts his son to work so his family can eat, a child that will never study an is condemned to be poor for life.
Thats what "Life Sentence" is all about, once poor, you are condemned to be poor for life, some exceptions may apply here of course, but poverty is a big monster that eats his own sons, one by one, condemned for life to follow that cycle themselves and their own.
When I Think about it, when I read the story, or listen to the song, it always hits me one way or the other...
