Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
The Message is the story of a man that receives an interstellar message, transmitted from a dying planet that portends bad things for much of the universe including Earth. He resists, but ultimately succumbs to act on this (ala Moses or Noah). He warns and gathers people and deals with the difficulties and uncertainties of interstellar travel. And once reaching the planet, massive adaptations and transformations occur.
Lyrics
Crack In the Middle Of The Universe W&M Ron Tintner There's a wrinkle In the fabric of space and time Something simple Or something gonna blow your mind I almost didn't notice it, dust in my eye Random perturbations in the Santa Fe sky A sticky situation with an easy explanation, But I just haven't found it yet... Chorus: There's a crack in the middle of the universe Something's whack in the middle of the universe A feeling of foreboding like a Big Bang exploding There's a crack in the middle of the universe There's a feeling, going round and round my brain Something's different, something that I can't explain Every time I think I have the answer I don't I hope I'll solve the riddle, but I fear I won't That's how it goes, and I hope I'm close, but I just haven't found it yet... CHORUS Bridge: Danger signs... A distant warning Or is it random noise, Im just paranoid Freakin that the sky is falling CHORUS
