"One Too Many Wishes" is a very special song in "The Steel Scream Project" song portfolio.
The lyrics were first written in November of 1991 inspired by the loss of our dear friend, Christopher Dobbins (November 13th, 1972 - November 13th, 1991). Doodle and I wanted to write a song we could dedicate to Chris, and we became influenced with the idea of someone wanting more than they should ask for, and how their decisions could have repercussions on thier life.
After Doodle and I finished the lyrics, I joined a band with Chuck Smith called "World Affair". I shared the song with Chuck and he wrote the music for "One Too Many Wishes" in a day! We rehearsed the song for a month and played it live at a Christmas party on December 14th, 1991. That would become version ONE of the song, as in 1993 Doodle and his friend, Kenny Ayers, who wrote an alternate version on acoustic guitar, played the song live at Doodle's graduation ceremony with Doodle on lead vocals. That would be version TWO.
Fast forward ten years later in 2003, me and Doodle would join forces once again and restart "The Steel Scream Project". Version THREE of "One Too Many Wishes" was born! We started recording songs for our first album together called "Journey By Rail", and this time I wrote the music on keyboards, while Doodle played electric guitar and again supplied the lead vocals. We created a guitar driven rock song and our original collaboration twelve years earlier was finally complete.
After "Journey By Rail" was released in 2004, I always felt like "One Too Many Wishes" wasn't truly finished as I wanted a guitar solo and some additional guitar sounds to fill in some holes in the song. I worked on this and remixed the song for my 2007 compilation album "Full Steam Ahead". Technically, that would become version FOUR. In another seven years I remastered the "Journey By Rail" album, and once again, an updated version was released.
Now in 2022, eight years later, "One Too Many Wishes" gets remastered for the second time, and this time it's first release as an official single. I feel like it's long overdue! FOUR versions later, and well... be careful what you ask for, you're only allowed THREE!
