"I wanted something much more then a pretty album, I wanted all the emotions that race through us in the course of a day to be heard... to be felt. We left rough edges and polished others... setting out to follow the life of the songs as they took shape and to catch those unpredictable magic moments.

Have you ever seen a heart break...? In its moment of greatest grief... how it trembles and shakes...?
Have you ever seen a soul explode...? In its moment of greatest loss how it feels the overload...?
Have you ever seen a world fall apart...? In its greatest moment of sadness how it finds out the fragility of the heart...?
I have witnessed an implosion... which carries a greater tragedy than an explosion... where worlds collapse... in to the soul... and you lose your whole...
I saw Nada get gunned down... and as she lay silent on the ground... Humanity was nowhere to be found... And when I cried... My world imploded inside... biri
I look in the mirror and I see. Me. But what I see, Is that all there is to Me?
All I know... Is that I lost my ego long a go. I remain... A soul, ego drained.
The word,” I"... has long died... deep inside… And what is left of,"Me".. Is all "Us" and "We".
But lately I am reminded... My dear old friend... ”Self Respect”... I must find it.
I have given... more and more... And the ocean has taken back ... some of my precious diamonds from my shore... and I don't feel our relationship... is what it was before... It's even taken some of the keys... from my door... But it left the key... to ME.
What is the difference between ego and self esteem? One is an empty gesture... the other, warm dreams. Spare me from empty gestures... I seek more... Dear Life... Ahhhh...take that key from my door. Leave me the key... to warm dreams... and let me find my dear old friend... ”Self-Esteem.”
And once more... Let the ocean bring back... all the lost diamonds… back to my shore.
The heart must learn to love and respect... the inner core... and the eye must respect the diamonds... that are yours... One of the diamonds is” Self Respect”... and the other “Self-Esteem.”… Together they build foundations... for tomorrows dreams.
I look in the mirror... and I see... more of me... I see... ”Self Respect”… Embracing me with healing streams…
Nourishing and kindly flourishing “Self Esteem" with warm regards dear
