Story Behind The Song

The melody and overall idea for the song came to me while recovering in a hospital bedroom post op. I was in a really bad car accident. I had broken one of my cervical vertebrae in my neck and it also had slipped out of alignment with the rest of the bones in my neck. Surgery was needed to fix the problem. For some unknown reason shortly after waking up from surgery i started humming the melody. In no time I had most of the song arranged in my head. The lyrics came to me fairly quickly as well. Because of the moody feel of the track people assume it is a sad song. In reality it is a happy to be alive and still kicking song. In pain, scared and full of post op morphine but very happy to be alive.....

Lyrics

Trying to reach the ground.
turning upside down
(Yeah eah yeah).....

Trying to reach the ground,
as the world came crashing down
You had nothing to say.....

Trying to catch the sounds,
of places left behind.
Trying to read the signs,
that echo through my mind.....

That echo through my mind.....

(Guitar Solo/Instrumental)
