On the 31st Jan 2009 a group of musicians travelled to Liverpool to record a Song 4 Emma.

The Song, written By Malc Evans is titled ''Thousand Tears''.
Songs are dedicated to Emma Curley.
Why did we do it?
It leaves far too many unanswered questions - Why didn't we see the signs? Could we have prevented it?
Why did it happen at all?
For the family and friends left behind, it is hard to understand why there seemed no other option.
Papyrus want to help young people like Emma, by showing a light, when people reach such a dark place.
When Emma Curley took her own life last December, it was totally unexpected.
Her cousin Stewart Craner resolved to turn his and her family’s shock and devastation into positive action to help other vulnerable young people. Determined that a charity would benefit Stewart’s research drew his attention to PAPYRUS and their helpline, HOPELineUK.
Emma was a huge music fan and concert goer, especially loving all the boy bands. A song in her memory was an obvious choice to Stewart, who runs a music management company in his spare time. Stewart had gained solace following Emma’s death by playing a song which Malc Evans, a local songwriter, had given him some time previously. That song, 1000 tears has now been recorded in a Liverpool studio by a group of musicians from Coventry - all donating their time to the project.
Also as part of the project Richie Wermerling, singer with 90's band Let Loose has kindly donated a track called ''God Bless''. There are plans to release these tracks as downloads on iTunes and CD very soon.
Proceeds from the sales of these songs will be donated to PAPYRUS
Papyrus is a voluntary UK organisation committed to the prevention of young suicide, and the promotion of mental health and emotional wellbeing.
