Artist picture
Art chasing sound.
The band is me. I have been a musician since age 7 (i'm 44 now), and that's pretty much all I did. By age 32 I was working in an average of 6 bands at a time and still practicing 36 hours a week. That's when I got nerve damage in both my arms and couldn't use them for 5 years...not for eating, lifting, playing...anything. 2 surgeries and 3 more years recoup, and I am back in short bursts. I write and track everything in 1 take as I can't play for long. Guitar is my main instrument (studied it the most), but have been playing drums and bass since age 10, and have actually worked the most as a drummer. I can't really use my left arm much so i drum with my fingers. It gives it a unique sound. (Don't worry, it's not wimpy... I can still break sticks!)

Story behind the song
After my arm surgeries, I had about a year of Physical Therapy. I found a hand therapist because my brother, also a guitar player, severed his tendon working at a glass shop. It turns out that my therapist, Brian Spencer, played acoustic and wrote songs. Part of my therapy was jamming with him playing bass. We did this for 1 year and decided to record the best 7 before he moved away. He laid the acoustic to a click with a vocal and left. I played the bass next as i knew all the lines. I could hear the drum parts in my head and had just gotten a new kit. All the tracks went down in 1 take. After hearing the drum and bass tracks, I decided to put some electric guitar for texture and my wife put down some back ground vocals.
Lyrics
I'm dreamin about a plane ride I hopin' for a problem And just before the dive bomb I step into the sky The parachute is open I slow down up in heaven I'm falling down to no one It feels just like goodbye Fells like landing on landmines Landing on landmines I'm fearful of the ending I stir as I lay dreaming All this falling freedom Feels just like a lie Feels like landing on landmines Landing on landmines Almost there I'm only going down From on high I break free from the tandum I pray the sky will hold me I relish in the free fall Feels like I can fly Feels like landing on landmines landing on landmines
