Sweet Tomorrow- Well, after the previous downer of a lyrical journey, how about a song of hope? Except, after a big downer, you may bit a bit leery, a bit closed off and nervous about taking a chance. So this song is a conversation between two…

Don’t Talk Much- Perhaps it’s time you got over your big, bad self and moved on.

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

She Didn’t Know- So, someone I know got totally screwed over. The worst part was that her friends knew but didn’t tell her what was happening. I am not sure she will love the fact I wrote a song about it, but that is the least of her worries right…

Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world. Yes, the song is masculine sounding, no shock there, since I am a guy. However, despite a friend’s comments to the contrary, I didn’t intend this song to be about getting…

Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyrics…kind of a cop-out, since it’s a song about song-writing. I didn’t have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…

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

The title track. I still like this one, though it is somewhat dense, sonically speaking. Another song where I think I pulled of the lyrics relatively well.

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

Ok, so on this one I wear my influences on my sleeve. This is one that quickly went in one direction so I decided to ride it to the maximum. I still like the words to this one. I'm no Costello (Elvis) but I did ok here.

One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.

We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.

An early one from that period. I was still learning how to do everything myself. It was fun to record, though in hindsight...well, it's a little thin.

I really debated uploading this one. It's kind of weak production wise, but it was part of the album. You may love it, hate it, but I decided to keep everything intact. Warts and all...

A song for someone you know. A song for everyone you know. A song about denial, and denial of denial.

So, I get this e-mail from a friend who had gone to NYC for a conference. At this conference she meets the love of her life, and the weekend turns into a steamy one spent locked in a hotel room. Slight problem...she was already married. She didn…

I have discovered PERCUSSION! At least, I had rediscovered it back in 2002, which is when I think I did this one.

The riff came to me in a flash and was probably the first time I recorded an idea on my (then) new micro-cassette player. It was supposed to be one of those spoken songs, complete with 70's backing vocals. I don't know if I pulled it off, but…

Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…
