This song is a cornerstone of the themes on my new album, Transitions. This song was based on a four page journal entry that was condensed down to one page which was then condensed down to a paragraph. Then I wrote this song. This features the very talented musician/producer Katie Dwyer. Please also check out all of HER stuff because she makes every project she works on better.
