A song for when you're alone


Update:
People have been asking what this song is about. It's about being separated from the people you love. As a child, I was separated from my parents for a while. When reunited, I was then separated from my grand parents who I had been living with. Then I was separated from women I loved. Later I was separated from my wife, at that time, and even more difficult was being separated from my children. I didn't deal with it well at all. Then in order to be reunited with my children I had to give up a woman I wanted to be married to. I also gave up all my friends and neighbors.

In my life, it has seemed that if you love it, life will move it far away from you. I have plenty of ideas how and why this happens, but for now, this song just touches on a little sliver of perception.

It's hard to explain to people that as a musician or writer, we use everything we can find for motivation and frameworks which lead us to a finished piece of work. A song or joke or story or painting. It's a process which we accept any way we can get it.

This is why a recording artist tends to have a list of people who the recording is dedicated to. A broad spectrum of friends an family and influences.

This song does that for me. It's about a lifetime. Its about a slice of life. On the one hand it's to my Daughter. On the other hand it speaks so clearly about a romantic relationship I was in.

Ultimately a song tries to explain something which the listener feels but is unable to explain. If you understand this song and you feel it. I am sorry. Yet, to me, it still makes me feel like I am gonna make it. It has that acceptance of life handing out some shitty cards and me playin the cards I am dealt as best as I can. It's me and the world in locked horns as apposed to me layin in a corner having given up and quit.

This is a song about a person sayin "Yeah, it sucks to be us right now, but even so, we still got us an that's pretty damn good. Even at a distance. Cuz without enough of you sucks but without any of you would simply be worse."

Anyway, that's a bit of what this song is about. Like I said, if you relate to this song,.. sorry.

No matter how much music I listen to, your songs are some of the very few I can seem to memorize and recall randomly throughout the day. Thanks for the past few years of great music.

Church is out man! You don't have any teeth hahahaha

[thechurchofdave]

@DanMonacoOfficial Cameras, lighting and shadows aside, yes, I have all my teeth. So whatever.

Now more importantly, let's look at your behavior here. You want to be a rock star so you can give yer autistic brother a place to live. OK that's commendable. So you seriously think slamming me for a song I wrote to my Daughter is gonna get you there?

I tell you what, let's take your acapella song of no rhythm and wrong notes and mine and see which one a vocal coach calls crap :)
