Started in Bristol, TN yesterday and are in CT right now on our way to Block Island, RI. Supposed to be one of those hidden treasures… We’ll have to ditch the RV since we have to ferry to the island…
P.S. The coffee @ Cinnabon is wretched…

Before And After – “Sing”
October 23, 200813 Comments
This one is a doozy. While recording “Coming Up To Breathe”, I had a song idea that I was especially fond of. The band was not too fond of the original idea, and looking back, I can see why. However, while working at the studio one night, Barry saw a vision of hope within my poor little song, so we finished the song together at about 4 in the morning.
The good news: The song turned out better than I could have ever dreamed, and we were able to record it with the London Symphony.
The bad news: it still did not make the record. It was merely an exclusive track whenever you purchased “Coming Up To Breathe” from a certain retail chain. I still love the song, and think we should have put it on the album. Oh well, you can’t win them all.

OK so this song came from two different ideas. Sometimes you have song ideas that just feel “average” but when you combine the stronger parts of each song, hopefully you get a better song…hopefully.
