I spent a great deal of time single and alone in my early thirties. During this period, many of the songs that came to me dealt with reflecting on my relationships of the past as well as contemplating the prospect of finding one that would last.

The songs from Finding You came very slowly - almost eight years elapsed before they were completed. In reality, most of these songs are the original demos, and because long duration of time, I figured I would just compile them on a release – thus the rather sparse production.

In the original CD artwork, I wrote the following text that sought to explain the connective theme.

A great deal of creative effort has been dedicated to the subject of love. From the lofty heights of Shakespeare, to the concupiscent depths of the Starland Vocal Band, the topic has proven itself as a timeless focus of the human experience.

I have to wonder - is there a shred of truth in the prospect that there is one soul mate for whom we are to be connected? Is this an image that can face reality's light of day, or is it merely the shadow of fantasy? Countless evenings spent staring up into the night sky can only complicate the issue. Is it merely the games of a lonely heart that allow us to sense a person we cannot see, a voice we cannot hear, while the images of their face and the echoes of their voice are burned into our souls as if they had become one with our most secret thoughts? And despite our most earnest prayers to touch what we suspect is real, they are answered with only silence; while we know full well the petition was heard.

This collection deals mainly with the pursuit of discerning between reality and fantasy - and coming to grips with the conclusion.
