A little over a year ago I made a public committment to create a new song in the following week, with the goal of making it a recurring accomplishment. The first week proved that I was actually able to write, record, and publish a song in one week. The second week, and each week ever since proved otherwise. As I mentioned when I made the initial committment there were a lot of excuses, and they wouldn’t suddenly go away. Well, they didn’t, but I also didn’t make the time necessary to overcome them.

With the holiday break I finally got around to recording another song. From the notes I have I can see that I had the first gem of an idea for it on May 4th, 2013, and finished writing it on May 11th. I’ve struggled a bit with this particular song because the chorus is so esoteric and borderline intentionally opaque. Rather than fully explain what I mean, both in my description of the song, and in the song itself, I’ll let the audio and the lyrics stand for themselves.

Projections up upon the screen
faded and a bit blurry
They're all you see, of me
They're all you see, of me

The distance grows behind 
I'm gettting further and further away
From what I, want, to be
From what I, want, to be

I am not him, I. Am. Me.
I am not him, I. Am. Me.

Shadows creeping in on me
Telling me that its too late
And that it just won't be
And that it just won't be

But
I am not him, I. Am. Me.
I am not him, I. Am. Me.

No I'm not him, I. Am. Me.
I am not him, That's not me.

Shadows fall apart on me
Falling further until I see, that theres, 
Shadows falling down on me
Falling further till I see

What kind of man, I'll, be
What kind of man, I'll, be

I am not him, I. Am. Me.
I am not him, I. Am. Me.
No I'm not him, I. Am. Me.
