I wanted to do a few songs on piano, just me playing piano. So while recording the piano for these songs, I just hit record and took a few stabs at these few songs tied altogether...this one sounded the best. I'll never forget the day I recorded all the piano tracks for the 2nd half of this ep. I woke up in Cleveland, OH at a Holiday Inn that had towed my car. Recovered it, worked all day on a project in a locker room that failed. Right before catching the plane home to STL I stopped at a Buffalo Wild Wings and ate, on the TV they were discussing Tiger Woods and how he had just announced he was taking time off from golfing. Needless to say, caught the flight home, recorded the piano tracks very late at night after a very long day and on only 4-5 hours of sleep...welcome to my life. :)
