Here's a song I'm finished with writing and now I'm working on demoing at home. I like it a lot, it hits exactly what I'd like to sound like right now. What I've put up here is the chorus of the demo as it is today, 2/22/09. The chorus is out of context lyrically without the verse, so I'll fill you in. I wrote this song after Obama was elected and all these people were talking about he's our "savior" or "the antichrist," but he's just a guy who hopefully is as genuinely good as he seems. Anyway, this song IS NOT about politics, but that, among other things, put these lyrics in motion in my mind. This song is about escaping people talking all this stuff and trying to make you choose sides on all these issues that, in the big picture, don't really matter. So if we could find "A Place Where We Could Go" where we could be away from all the issues and enjoy ourselves, that would be cool. This place could be literal or just be a state of mind, whatever makes the song work more for you. So this song presents that idea and invites others to join in on finding that place. I'm thinking about calling the next album "Strength in Numbers," because most of the songs I have going have a sense of reaching out to people, trying to find someone that feels the way you feel. I suppose in some ways that's what art is anyway.
