Discography

GROOVE BOX (1999)

Ain't Comin' Home:  Is the first song we wrote together as a band.  On this one, Tom sings lead and Jen sings backup.  We actually performed this one at our first show.  A highlight of this song is listening to Scott's "Vai" type solo.
 

Stone Heart: This song is a song that Todd wrote a couple of years ago and was jamming on it with Ryan one day during practice and the rest of the band liked it and starting jamming too.  Jen wrote the lyrics but Tom came up with the Stone Heart concept.
 

Walk Away:  This was another song that Todd had wrote a while ago and pretty much the same thing happened.  Only, Tom was singing it orinigally and he was singing about living in Decatur...didn't quite have the same ring to it.
 

Would It Be So Bad:  Another one of our first songs writing together.  This one started out as an instrumental intro piece into "Jenny Says."  Tom sang "Jenny Says" and wanted a little instrumental piece before it in the same key so that he could hear what to sing easier.  It turned into a little piece, where originally Tom was "rapping" to (which is my personal favorite rap of all time) but then eventually added lyrics and a melody.  After a little tweaking, it turned into what it is today.
 

Deja Blue:  This is a song that Scott wrote one day while playing on his dad's guitar.  He brought it to us and then we started jamming on it and worked out some parts for it.  I came up with the middle section where Scott has his solo, but Scott wrote the rest of the music, and Jen wrote the lyrics.
 

Too Good To Believe: Another one of Scott's creations.  Originally, Tom sang this song, since he wrote the lyrics, but then decided that Jen should sing it just to make it easier, and to give her something to do!
 

Thursday Morning: Once again, Scott wrote this song and brought it to the group.  Jen wrote the lyrics. You might notice that in the begining of the song there are actually three guitars playing.  One electric, one acoustic, and the last acoustic with Nashville tuning.
 

If You Could See:  This is Todd's first attempt at lyrics.  Todd wrote the song at the end of 1998 and brought it to the group and they like it, so we used it.  The song is about Clark Kent and how he is in love with Lois, but she doesn't love him (hence why we all call this song the superman song).
 

Broken:  A song that Todd wrote as an intro into Walk Away.  The name is "Broken" because during recording, Todd broke a piano string.
 

Life Cycle:  A song that Scott wrote that we thought sounded fine without vocals, so we used it. It has three sections to it to represent the three parts of life: birth, living, and death.
 

I Can't This was the last song we wrote before recording and it was written just 2 weeks before we went to the studio.  It started as a jam with Ryan and Todd, and then the rest of the band joined in and Jen starting singing, and it was cool.  Eventually we layed out a chorus and verse type flow and then it became what it is now.
