By the Way
Sequentially, this is the first song on the EP, but chronogically it is an afterthought and alter ego to “Anything You Want.” It’s what happens after you spend 2 years beating your head against the wall and discover your blood is as red as hers. (Lyrics)
Julie's Song
A song about idealism and perseverance. Inspired by an LA Weekly article about a local alternative rock band from Los Angeles who fell prey to the trappings of the record industry in the mid ’90s. Keep on plugging away wherever you are! (Lyrics)
Anything You Want
Relationships are often asymmetrical, and guilt will surely follow if you chose not to acknowledge it. What is that genetic deficiency in all males that makes us believe there is always someone “better” out there? (Lyrics)
Wrapping Up the Day
A song about faith and hope in the face of adversity. Certainly not a new theme and certainly not a new protagonist, but hopefully a new perspective. I haven’t been to church in years but I still say my prayers at night. (Lyrics)
Provincial Pride
A cathartic recount of a severed relationship. Visiting the old house made it possible to mend broken fences, even after this song was written. (Lyrics)
