Schizoid
The deluxe edition of this album says on it "This album is dedicated to all those that have inspired this music."
A lot of the songs on this album are inspired by real people and real events. Every time I play a song I think about the people and events that have inspired it.
Schizoid is no different, including that at the end of the day it is selfishly about me.
But at the same time this album is about self destruction in the hopes that something better can rise from the ashes.
Let's hope. I'm gonna try real hard.

Your Last Song
Not the last song on the album ...
Most of this song is the bridge to an older song of mine "The Object Of My Affection." The bridge of this song is the verse of the same song. Interesting how things change.
It's a fun pretty little exercise in rhyme and reason.
And we honkey tonk it up live. Only a few days until the release show where you'll get to hear it for yourself!

Penn Station
So, this is the one about my father.
Or at least anger I had towards my father.
A big part of this album is saying things so that I can move forward with my life.
So, I hope that is possible.

The Hollow Spine Waltz and If You Loved Me
The Hollow Spine Waltz -
This one was inspired by the CAKE cover of Willie Nelson's "Sad Songs and Waltzes." It's called the 'hollow spine' waltz because the word "Coelacanth" means "Hollow Spine." Lucky for me, the lyrics also lead to having a spine a little less than solid.
If You Loved Me -
This one is the other tune inspired by a friend's bad breakup. I was working on the music for a while, and then he had this realization that he had to get out, that he was in a really bad situation. I tried to put myself in his shoes and this song is what happened.
As a side note, I put together the deluxe editions tonight and they look really good!

I Don't Want To Live Anymore
I wrote this song one morning when a rehearsal got canceled. What initially was supposed to be a demo, but it turned out really good. A day later I got a video of a guy flying a kite by the disc golf course and it just seemed to fit. That's where the idea to have a DVD with the deluxe edition came from. Here's the video:
