The story of Michael is a sad one. Told over three parts and following him at three distinct points in his life (childhood, adulthood and later years), we see how he grows, how he changes and, perhaps more fatally, how he doesn’t change. While not based on any person, living or deceased, I feel that there are elements of Michael that could occupy most of us and I hope that included in these songs are lines, concepts, dare I say it truths, that people can and will relate to. There’s a Michael in all of us.

We recommend you listen to the three songs together to truly appreciate them to the highest degree - each movement was written with the others in mind and motifs can be found throughout the entire piece. We also recommend reading through the lyrics while you listen as there are several large blocks of spoken word and they are perhaps quite important to the story or at least essential to setting the scene.

We hope you enjoy the product of our blood, sweat, tears and any other by-product of the stress induced from writing and recording these songs. We’d do it again a thousand times over.

Love,
Oxblood.
