This song is a tribute to my one and only late sister. It is not meant to be sad, it is meant to paint a picture of a deeply emotional person, who had a zest for life that was infectious. I never knew anyone else like her and I never will.

This song was originally written about a break up, but after visiting Death Valley, I wanted to pay tribute to the beauty of the desert. I combined both themes and used a basic riff I wrote years ago.

This song is simple in both arrangement and theme. It is about not taking life for granted and not ignoring the misfortunes of others.

Well, this one was written many years ago. I dug it up from the archives and re-recorded it. The arrangement and lyrics stayed the same. I just thought it could use some touching up.

This is for anyone who has ever been a member of a garage band, especially one who didn't quite make it.

Well, it's about a guy accumulates material possessions, but doesn't have the means to pay them off.

The song is about destroying nature. Pretty simple.

This is one about loss and the void one can feel and often does after losing someone.

Another Backing track this time it sounds like a church organ or at least some kind of church organ model. I used to own one but I engineered this one inside of Alchemy.

From Norm's modifed Stealing Pumpkins created by MTC....Jim, I'll send you the guitar track only for your masterpiece :)
