This was the first original song that I wrote and recorded for my 2008 solo album. This was the song I started with and was where I first openly expressed the depression I felt after having had my budding Consulting Career crash and burn disastrously in 2000, then my fall-back Dot Com career also self-destructed after Tower 2 of the World Trade Center landed on one of our major customers and clients - The World Trade Center Marriot.
It was a really dark time when we struggled for years to get back on our feet while we slowly sold off everything of value we had. We sold our instruments, I had a fairly robust Comics collection which I slowly cannibalized bit by bit.
Worse of all, I had toward the end joined a really good band that had excellent players, good songs and nearly all the gear - and even our own van and trailer - that we could use to tour on our own.
But I had to leave, I had to move back home to LA. The process broke my heart and I really wasn’t right again for several years.
That’s what this song is about.
