This song is deep. It's about how I know my best music comes from a broken heart, and how I know I already gave up this dream once when I was in a long-term relationship. I have to be alone, give up on other dreams of love and family, to pursue this music career.

Day 28 - I Loved Alone
Most of these lyrics are not my own, but that of my friend Ian Henson, who sent me a poem some time ago and asked me if I could try and make it into a song. The poem he sent was an interpretation of "Alone" by Edgar Allen Poe, and you'll see a few references within (including the titular one).
It was a very interesting challenge, both writing someone else's lyrics and having lyrics first altogether (I have always, always written music first). But it was a challenge that I absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed undertaking. I cut up and added to his work quite a bit (with his permission), and I think the end result is something of which we are both very proud. I know I am.

Day 27 - Songwriter's Seduction of a Fair Mountain Town Princess
I had a lot of fun with this one, been chipping away at it for weeks. A tongue-in-cheek look at dating.

Day 25 - Bleed
I almost left this song as an instrumental. But it's not nearly complicated enough to justify that, I'm sensitive, and I didn't want the Internet to call me a sh***y guitar player. Day 25!
