About the songs on this record:
Believe
Has the pervasive fear of economic and environmental disaster become our reality? It's true if you believe it.
the Road
Inspired by Cormac McCarthy's story of the same name, it's a tale of a man and his son trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world.
What's Good for Me
I got dumped and it was the best thing for me - or so she said. Now I'm like "flammable pajamas in a fire."
Fleur de Lis
An idol,loved from afar comes down to earth. Now there's no hiding. Live and love in the moment.
Driving Rain
Everything seemed perfect, until the weather changed. I love you, but I can't stay.
Your Star
Small-town girl dreams big. And one of these days, the dream will come true.
Struck by Lightning
Get down from there before you break your neck, or kill someone in a fit of jealousy.
Surrounded
She moved away, but she really should come home to the people who love her.
Lost Another One
Going off to war offers an escape from your life into the void of uncertainty and death.
I Found You
I found love and now I can lose everything and it's still OK.
Spy Satellite
Am I admiring you from a distance, or is this just extra terrestrial stalking?
Hey Dad
Passing the rock'n'roll torch across the generations. Inspiration begins at home.
Quiet Way
Come close to me and listen carefully and you will find out how much I love you.
