This collection has a darker tone than the usual musical fare, as the words and music try to describe my feelings on the slow but steady decay of societal civilization and the human condition's fall from moral and ethical grace. It also took longer to record and mix than other collections. From songs about overly accessible electronic media, terrorist threats on the horizon and shooting people for instant 'celebrity' to lost feelings and ideals and a world moving too fast for many millions to keep up with, these compositions describe people not only doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons, but in some cases, the right things for the wrong reasons, as well. All songs written, performed and produced in the home studio by Paul McClelland.

Paul, I just listened to your album. Dude, you were good way back when, but now... amazing.
Someone somewhere needs to hear this that can sign you up to a recording contract.
Without a doubt, the Neil Young of 2013.
Nothing to say Paul? Ok, sorry you feel that way about it. Good luck to you.
Hi, Mike. Thank you for listening. When you do, please turn it up to a very decent volume. I'm out of town and just now getting your post. Take care, Paul.
Out of town?? At the risk of sounding Jewish, what's that like?
At the risk of sounding Jewish...eh...
