I am a songwriter. Whenever I am strongly moved I get a song. They come lyric and melody, a verse or chorus with imagined instrumentation I can never quite reproduce. I used to bring my songs to the band, start singing with my clumsy guitar or keyboard playing outlines and the band would fill in the colors, bringing the song to life. These days I am crafting my songs myself, using the amazing assortment of audio interfaces and plug-ins to create intriguing stories in sound. Imagining the tracks supporting the mood or emotion of a scene or creating the excitement to support action in a game.

Story behind the song
A former friend was a charming liar. Although supremely gifted in many areas he embellished his life story constantly. He also cheated on all his girlfriends, and embezzeled money from his parents. He left his last wife with a kiss, saying "I'll see you tomorrow at home" and then never showing up. When she tracked him down, living with another woman, most of his friends had reached their limit. I got quite a few songs out of their break-up.
Lyrics
You're Only Foolin Yourself You think, you've got it bad, you think you're so misunderstood and everybody treats you like youre no damn good well you can save your explanations your promises and lies you can't hide what your'e sayin' with your eyes CHO-Everyone who knows you, knows you oh so well, You're only foolin yourself You only fool yourself, when you lie to other people when what you say is true, you want them to believe in you CHO-Everyone who knows you, knows you oh so well, You'r'e only foolin' yourself You've told so many stories, so many times before nobody who knows you well believes you anymore You've hurt a lot of people sayin' things that werent true Nobody wants to believe they were deceived by you CHO-Everyone who knows you, knows you oh so well, You're only foolin yourself You only fool yourself, fool yourself, You're only foolin yourself You only fool yourself, fool yourself, You're only foolin yourself
