Evolution

Regardless of your views on evolution the concept applies directly to a lot of the songs I write. An example is The Gorge. It wound up being a song about my wife and I driving to an outdoor concert and how remarkable the experience was.

However, the song itself began as an instrumental I wrote back in the Schwag days. We used to play it live but I never got around to writing lyrics. Eventually the band broke up so I recorded the music myself on the computer. Dig the cheesy drums.

Even back when this was recorded I referred to the song as "Evie's Song". I really liked the music and thought it required a worthwhile subject matter, my beloved wife seemed like a natural choice.
