Back There

Back there

Way back there

Tiny bubbles of memory bursting versions of you

Releasing the bittersweet beautifully imperfect view

Back there... I majored in sensi-bull

Back there... did the right thing

Back there minors in heartbroken clue you to what time will bring

Back there

Way back there


Sweet echoes of promises wave past hindsight and truce

Landing just short of paradise

Totally untethered from use

Back There I promised

I swear I swore

I promised

Back there

Way back there

Back there...I majored in sensi-bull

Back there...did the right thing

Back there minors in heartbroken clue you to what time will bring


Sweet echoes of promises burst the bubbles of youth

Releasing the bittersweet, beautifully imperfect you

The beautiful, bittersweet imperfect you

Back there

Behind The Song...

Back There

After a gig we did in Massachusetts, Joe Boyle gave me a disc containing an instrumental track he had developed and arranged and asked me if I wanted to try and make something of it. I listened to the the track on repeat all the way home and then for several days as a song slowly revealed itself to me. Joe had put down an atypical arrangement and rather than altering it, I wrote the melody and lyric to match what he already had. For the “Joe’s Original Mix” I sent Joe my vocals. Joe subsequently sent me all the tracks he did and I added Bass by Joe O’Brien, Drums by John Peckman and some Piano by me. I then sent this all back to Joe and he created the “Joe’s Second Mix” which retained Joe’s original Bass ideas.
