Shipwrecked... My Sentiments

The year is 2005. My band just broke up, and I’m devastated. At least I can keep making music on my own. In the midst of that, my cousin Mitch takes his life. Ouch. I grasp at words. “Shipwrecked” – that one seemed to stick. I wrote a handful of songs that were meant for my first EP, but with my producer’s encouragement, I proceeded to write and record two more songs to make it a full album. The songs speak of challenges in relationships, the inability to live up to impossible ideals, the struggle for identity and independence, the human condition, and parting words for friends and fond memories.
