I wrote lots of lyrics before this one, but this is the first one I put music to. Mine is a song called Moron. It is a song about being bullied. It's a punk song (isn't everyone's first song a punk song? LOL). I called it Moron because it's a loose transition on the bully's last name.

I was very proud of it because anyone who came to see us jam always requested it, and it was mine. :) It was during the era that Offpring's Smash had just come out and blown up, so I attribute it's popularity among friends to it sounding like that.

    The first song i wrote that was complete with lyrics and music i called "Not Just You". It's about my friends who would hate it when I went to hang out with different people, its like they thought they owned me. Its a bit Grungy, mainly influenced by Nirvana and Mudhoney.

    I wrote lyrics for a song called With The Sun On My Back when I was 15 (25 years ago) and I was really happy with them although they have changed a little since then. It still lives in the closet to this day with a dozen different chord arrangements. I planned it to be the centerpiece of a collection of songs which have never really materialised. I do intend to finish it as most of my ideas still exist, it just needs putting together.

    Undertow. I was at a wake sitting right behind the husband of the wife who had passed, and it is about the feeling of being haunted by your memories and, wait for it, "come up for air, with nowhere to go, I'm lost inside your undertow"
