THAT WHICH SURROUNDS US is an exploration of how the human condition in the modern world is empty and dissatisfying. This song is not intended to mindlessly attack people's miserable situations. Rather, this song is to vent frustration and acknowledge the reality of our current predicament as we fight for that which is worthy.

SORROW FOR AN ENCHANTED WOMAN is a somber mourning over unrequited love. Remember that? When guys used to fall in love with women? Yeah. I'm all about that. That's old school.

MOUSE is about a school shooting that took place in Georgia by a guy who was nicknamed Mouse. He was outcast and brutalized by bullies, and he went to help from everyone he knew to ask for help, and they either turned him away or mocked him. School shootings are not the answer, but they will continue to happen until society is willing to make an honest appraisal of the underlying causes.

AVALON is an invitation into the secrets realms that are only made accessible to those of pure heart: the innocent, the romantic, the idealists.

THE AARONIC BENEDICTION is a traditional part of the Jewish liturgy. I close my shows with it because I believe a musical performance should be consecrated. Without sanctification, everything degenerates into self parody, and I can't have that. This isn't hip hop.
