When anger knows no bounds. When betrayal begets rage. When sleep brings no rest. When fighting is just the beginning.

I was lost for a chorus, and a title. Then...Bruce.

This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…

This was supposed to be a lot heavier and darker, but it sounded totally cheesy. I lightened it up, added piano and did about 11 different versions of the vocals for this, each one with completely different lyrics and melodies. The end part was…

The gtr came first, then the vox, then the bass. Bass players tend to really like this song.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

A chance gtr line while I was checking recording levels turned into insta-song. This one came together in about an hour.

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

Yes, I am dark sometimes. Aren't we all? Don't listen to closely, just turn this one up and lose yourself in the tones.

Nothing like the sound of a strat through that classic "brown" sound. Gritty, driving, crunchy, lovely tones...This is my welcome back, did you miss me, RPM 2008 opening track.
