About the songs...
As you may or may not have guessed by now, just about each and every song I've recorded thus far has dealt with very real situations from my life. I spent a lot of time and energy putting a lot of emphasis on my relationship with another person, someone I loved (and still care for) very much, but things simply didn't work out. And I understand the fact that this is life, that things can go any which way on a breeze without rhyme or reason. We are owed no excuses from anyone, we simply have to keep our heads up and continue moving forward. So, in a round about way, that's what I am doing. In order to cope with this huge void that was left in my life and in my heart I needed to put my feelings into words. Those words led to musical accompaniment, and before long I felt ready to share those feelings with others. Sometimes I wonder if I've done the right thing... is dwelling on loss the best way to get over it? I suppose that is a valid question, and all I can say is that it's working for me. Take that for what it's worth. I hope that I can somehow reach other people with similar feelings and make it possible for them to face their ghosts, as well as forming some sort of common bond that we can share beyond the simple musician/audience relationship. I want to touch peoples' minds and hearts and to have them reciprocate those feelings in me so that we might all help one another through whatever trouble finds us. Is this too much to ask?
I also want to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone that I may have misled with this page. Originally I planned to give an in-depth description of each song, delving into the specifics that comprised the lyrics. After careful consideration, though, I don't think that would be a good idea. I think there is an importance in allowing people to believe what they wish to believe, in letting them form their own opinions on what a song means to them according to the personal feelings they experience. Of course I had specific incidents and situations in mind when writing those songs, but if someone else can take the lyrics and apply some meaning to them through their own personal experiences then I don't want to interfere. The songs mean whatever you want them to so long as you FEEL them... that's all I ask.
