Fork In The Garbage Disposal

Working on for yiayia

Wristwatch Time Machine:  This song didn’t start out as having a memory or feelings attached to it like my other songs do but it has grown its own meaning after giving it its silly name. For me when I play this song I think about a time in my past that I wish I could go back and change. If only it was as easy as having a Wristwatch Time Machine.
Fleeting: Senior year of college had ups and downs like I’m sure it does for everyone. This song is dedicated to my girlfriend Carolynn. Without her I don’t know how I would have made it through the year in one piece. I love you more than anything in the world.
But I’d Miss You: I wrote this song after having to deal with one of the most difficult situations in my life. Earlier in the night a friend had come to me saying that our mutual friend had said they had taken steps to end their life. We rushed to their room and were able to save their life. But not a day goes by that I don’t think about how that night could have turned out. So this song is for that person and all my friends that may be fighting depression and suicidal thoughts. 
For You (Anything):  The first song I ever started to write was for my Yiayia (means grandmother in Greek) Her health was slowly declining and it was all I could think about. Unfortunately she was never able to hear the finished product. Now whenever I pick up a new guitar for the first time the last thing I play is this song in hopes that she can hear it wherever she is.
Sea of Space:  The spare riff song! This is one of those songs that I had a few extra parts from everything I had written and still wanted to use those parts. Remarkable it came together pretty well. 
Reflections: Reflections came together as more of a jam than a song and so I wanted to capture the jam feeling when recording it. I did it in one take and will probably never play it the same way again. The jam came together during my last days as an undergrad at WSU and it helps me to look back at what a time I had.
Traversing Emotions: I often feel like this is a song I like to let people interpret. Instead of telling people what it’s about I like to hear what they think it’s about. 

I just wanted to make sure I had a thank you list to go along with the cd. First my Mom and Dad for always supporting my music. My friends Paul, Connor, Josh, Cody, Danny, Zach, and Josh for always letting me hangout at their apartment and show them my newest song! The both my RA Staffs from University and Lammers for letting my practice and play while on desk duty. My friend Alex for listening to Traversing Emotions 100 times until I got it just the way I wanted it. Carla for being one of my best friends though everything. My brothers George and Henry for always making stupid noises and playing video games. Carolynn for getting me through some of the toughest parts of life. And lastly everyone I have ever met that has shaped me into the person I am today.
