This one is quite interesting. Call its inspiration a cross between Muse and just seeing the new Batman movie. The song has a dark, yet mellow groove (albeit the ghost talking to you in the background is a little eerie). It's really cool how a song comes together from a simple guitar riff and then off I go into another world! That's the beauty of music!

This is certainly my longest track (up to this point); this is due to the outgoing Coda at the end. It's kind of in the realm/inspiration of "Take Me Back" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. In essence, the coda takes you down the stream to bring an end to your journey. Be ready, as well, for the 2nd portion of the coda (as it lifts off with a heavy guitar and choir!) Hope you enjoy it!

"Dusk to Dawn" is a pretty adventurous track . . . at least for me it is. Some tempo and key changes are present give it a feeling a time actually changing (i.e. dusk to dawn). Part of the song feels like you're walking down the street in New York City, with your best strut. Then, the tempo changes and it's time to take off your walking shoes and chill till' the dawn.

"Spanish Radiance" is a track in which I give a nod to the beauty of Spanish guitar elements. Sprinkled throughout the track are simple guitar runs, which illuminate the beauty of the Spanish guitar sound. Furthermore, if listened to closely, you'll hear a really cool bass line laying down the song's foundation. Enjoy!

"So Long" is kind of mellow instrumental rock. I really love the break groove I found on the B string. It's my favorite part of the song. It kind of has a longing feeling to it, hence the title.

There's nothing complicated with "Down the Delta." This is simply a southern rock groove at its grittiest . . . at least my grittiest:) Hope you like it!

"Wait for Tomorrow" is a pretty laid back track. No inner Judas Priest or Iron Maiden coming out on this one. This one is for putting on headphones, breathing deep and going night night. Or at the bare minimum, getting some relaxation.

Don't ask me how this one came about; it's pretty different for me, but I like it. The title holds the key to my inspiration for this song (as does the quote and color in the art); not to mention the name after the quote:) So while my Prince had more talent in his pinky fingernail than most do in their entirety, this song is still my "nod" to him, thanking him for his inspiration on me.

It was time to shred a bit. "Face the Mirror" is the heaviest track I've done in quite some time. It's always fun to let it rip and release my inner Judas Priest or Iron Maiden (I'm just not near as good:)) Be careful if you turn this one up; the bass line might just melt your face off . . . but with rock n' roll, that's a good thing!

"Outside Looking In" was actually inspired by one of my favorite band's songs: "Wish You Were Here" by Chicago; hence the ocean waves in the beginning. Beyond that, this is simply an ethereal, ambient journey of the mind. Listen with headphones . . . especially for one of the guitar tracks. You'll be in La La Land:)
