Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Even in my dreams it’s a battle

That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!
I'm right there with you. I'm a button pusher when it comes to the radio.
It would be fun to hear your band play live someday. I wonder if you have anything on YouTube?
I like that Northern Michigan influence. Nice groove!
Lovely little ditty. You are the master of the quick statement and done song.
Yes, I just enjoy your band. Great singing and playing!
Good stuff!
