I wrote the song because my wife was very sick during her first pregnancy, and she was having a tough moment. I was so pumped to have an actual gospel choir, thanks to my longtime friend Nick Seeley. I felt so fragile.Īt last, hope! The message is from someone above watching down on the character and letting him know, things are gonna be OK. I remember these feelings, and I never want to return to them, but so much in my life was not working out at the time, and it even my health. The saddest song on the record, this is the moment when sadness and depression take such a heavy toll that the person is left in a fragile state. The prayer has been heard, but the results haven’t come in. Thank you to Mike Caren, Craig Kallman, Jkash, and Cook Classic for putting all your genius brains on this bad boy. Well, easier said than done, and “Bring Me Home” is the feeling of being smack dab in the middle of suffering. Looking back, I’m thankful, because I think whenever we go through hard times, it sharpens your senses, gets you closer to the truth, and if you learn from it, you’ll never make those mistakes again and the cycle won’t continue. I remember when I was out of college and on my own, and the Great Recession hit. I got nailed and down went my finances, and out came all the insecurities. (Have I given too much away?)Ĭollege is over, real life has begun and bang, here comes reality. A father who creates a safe place for his own child to grow. If he keeps wanting to go back to being a child, he won’t grow up and become a great father. There is a delusion to this feeling of safety, because not only is he using drugs to create this feeling, but he’s also transitioning from being a child into becoming a man. Here we have the young man high as a kite, and feeling very safe. Extra thanks to Thomas Eriksen for being a wonderful guy and a fantastic producer.

This song at first was suppose to be a bridge between “Sabotage” and “Sugar Is Sweet,” but I was convinced to make it a full song by some friends. I wrote this song on the island of Kauai. When I wrote this song, I was mostly writing about people I knew who had been addicted to. Coming out of the rage-filled “Sabotage,” this song is about the “escapes” in life.

Shhhh, this one is a secret favorite of mine. At first, you hear the counselor say, “When did it start, what set him off?” Then from the perspective of the parents, “Living in fear from my own son,” then from the kid himself, “it’s been building up and I’ve had enough,” then from the teachers, “Don’t think, don’t talk, don’t fight.” I have no idea how it happened, but I turned into an angry teenager. Something that might by people in the lyrics is that we are hearing from multiple perspectives pretty rapidly. Looking back it makes sense, and that’s why I made the song light and dark. This is almost a perfect representation of my own childhood. The character is now a full blown kid, playing games in the streets, oblivious to the struggles that are to come, thinking they will never have to grow up, yet aware of the turmoil coming from the adults and by the end of the song the kid is now in junior high where things get pretty dark. There’s a clip of myself at two years old playing with my father, my wife, our neighbors, and at the end my first son, Augie, yells, “Come on!” Hence the title. The song opens with a baby boy crying it’s actually my son, Jack, who was in his bouncer in the studio with me when I was writing the album. It feels like a big blast of light into my soul. I get emotional because it’s full of actual audio clips from home recordings of my life. Sometimes this piece is too much for me to listen to. Welcome to the world! In my imagination, this is where we see, in fast motion, the creation of the universe, the creation of our sun, our planet, the emergence of life on earth and the entire process of evolution - all the way up to the birth of our character, a baby boy.
