Brandon helped with today's recording session (which went from 1pm-7pm). We started with a broad concept: open the song with a 1-2 minute instrumental that builds in intensity (staying on the same chord), then create a simple 2-3 chord progression that facilitates a simple melody. This isn't a standard pop song structure...it's basically two parts (and neither repeats). The lyrics were written during a 20 minute break. The idea stems from a lyric I wrote years ago, "where ocean and land both begin." Each of the things below are vast and has a counterpart that goes just as far in the opposite direction. They have unique middle-points where it gets difficult to distinguish between the two.
LYRICS: "Where history meets the present, and present meets the future. Where ocean meets the land, and reality meets illusion. Where conflict meets with peace, and facts meet up with fiction. Where bitterness meets forgiveness, and certainty becomes prediction."
