Acoustic rock in the vien of Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, Mellencamp etc.
At the moment my band consists of me and my guitar in front of a computer with lots of recording software. I'm not sure when/if I will have a band again. In the meantime I plan to write and record music for enjoyment.

Story behind the song
Hang On started as a fairly upbeat guitar part. On a whim I arppegiated the chords and came up with the introduction. At that point I realized there was nothing upbeat about the song anymore. I started playing around with words and the story began to evolve from the opening phrase "I don't know where you're going." That was me talking to the song itself. The song turned into a big production the second William played a few notes with an oboe sound on the keyboard. The possibilities flooded into my mind and I was off and running. Without a doubt this song has the most production of any on the album. I think of it as my soundtrack song.
Lyrics
I don't know where you're going I don't know what you're doing I don't know what you came here for I've been looking for someone Who can give me a reason Why I should not end this here Still I feel a need to go on I wouldn't call life easy Something tells me I should just hang on… Do you know what I'm feeling? Are my eyes so revealing? Do you think you know what it's like? Have you stared at the mirror? Do you hate yourself? Tell me, how many times have you been alone? I don't believe that you could ever understand You don't know the things I've been through Every moment of my life has led to this Something tells me I should just hang on… If I take your suggestion I'll be faced with the question Just what am I doing here? Does my life have a purpose? Hidden under the surface Is it as pointless as I fear? Everything I've ever lived for is gone Some might call this feeling freedom My only hope is if I just hang on
