The bluebird symbolizes happiness in many cultures. The spiritual essence of the "Bluebird" comes to spread joy, peace and to remind you to surrender to the beauty that is all around you. I know I (we) sometimes need a daily reminder to be happy with what surrounds us and that we control our own destiny and happiness. Make yourself happy, keep the happiness around and don't let it fly away.
THIS WAY is the second track off the album. For anyone who's been through a break-up, in any type of relationship, lovers, friends, family etc., this song goes out to you. It's my expression of an "It is what it is mentality". Its a shame things ended but the hope is to move on with your life and go forward. Sometimes life isn't easy and people change, even if that person is you.
LIVE IN MY DREAMS is the third track off the album and one of the first songs we recorded. This song, for me, is about dreaming of people important to you that you've lost. Whenever I have things on my mind I tend to dream about that person or subject. I wanted to express how I've felt in past experiences where someone I've lost is on my mind but not in my reality anymore. They live in my "stream" of consciousness within my "dreams". Has anyone ever lost someone in their lives but they "live in your dreams" and you keep them alive to an extent?
BLIND MAN is the fourth track off the album and in my opinion has the most "live" feel. The song is about being "blind" to what I have in life. Sometimes we all need to be more appreciative of the things we have. In today's world we want the newest, the best, the fastest, etc. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I have everything I need right in front of me. A family, friends, job, roof over my head and much more. "Blind Man" is certainly a self portrait and a reminder to myself to "put my mind at ease", not work constantly to provide so much for the ones I love, because in the end we have what we need, each other
MY HEART WILL TAKE THE LEAD is an “action speak louder than words” love song. I wrote this one night after my wife and I got into an argument. I said some things I shouldn’t have and it made me write this “I’m sorry” letter basically. I love my wife more than anything and although at times I say things I don’t mean or my words often get me in trouble, in the end my heart will always take the lead. My actions will always speak louder than my words. That's one thing she taught me. I can say I love you all I want, but showing it is more important.
