I think this comes from a place that most of us can relate to. Our parents try to instill this wisdom in us when we're young, typically in small doses and in cliched things that just get pushed around. We ignored it when young, often not even wanting to hear it. Yet when we're grown, and especially when we have kids of our own, we end up pushing the same little pearls of wisdom out there.

A song I wrote based on the ongoing saga of the birds underneath my lilac bush. There's one big fat oriole under there who used to shriek and fight any other bird that would try to get to his patch of dirt. But there's always someone out there bigger and tougher.

This song is about God being disgusted with humanity, and planning to end it.

Black Rain is a song about the mood and feeling of everything gasping away and leaving you hollowed after a breakup.

This song is about someone slowly losing their grip on reality. They are filled with fear, and anxiety, and start to let something inside them take over their actions.
