This song was inspired by the feeling that I was finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And though it felt good to get this song on paper, I felt at the time that it wasn't good enough to make it on a record and set it aside.
Later though, after having a few friends tell me that they thought I should finish it, I made a quick demo of it (just acoustic guitar and vocal) and included it with the other demos I sent to the musicians who would be playing on the record. This is where the song turned a corner. You see with most of the songs on the record I had a very specific idea of what I wanted. But with this one I had none.......... they made it come to life. And when I listen to it now it sounds like a classic record to me. I was fortunate to have some amazing players on the record. Drummer Kenny Aronoff, Bass Player Chris Chaney and guitarists Phil X and Rusty Anderson.
