Now, performing is second nature and I love every second of it. It is a very emotional thing when I can't play a song maybe I'm hitting on something that I don't want to deal with. All of it is so personal. It is like therapy.

Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, and I'm home bound. Staring blankly ahead, just making my way, making a way, through the crowd. And I need you, and I miss you, and now I wonder... If I could fall, into the sky. do you think time, would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, if I could, just see you tonight.

I had no album title, and the album is like a journey in that it's a complete body of work. It's not just a couple of catchy songs and filler, so I felt that I needed to capture the essence of the album.

I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.
