The wind blew a slow and steady mist over our faces. Staring over the valley and lake that embrace the back of my house, my friend Ian and I stood with our walking sticks, wearing blank looks on our faces. We both felt something big was going down and we were getting let in on it. It was getting closer. We were the kids that were "good at music" in our high school class. A year had passed since we graduated, yet we were still doing the same things (getting high, playing local shows in the Baltimore area with the same bands, being lead on that so-and-so would get us places, and feeling like some sort of break was way overdue). We began to discuss what the 2000-2010 decade of music even stood for. Our generation had no ambitions to make a name for ourselves or really accomplish anything. We got what we wanted fast and that was that. So what were we so "destined" to do musically? It seemed that our whole lives we had known that something bigger was meant for us with our names on it but it just never happened.

What were we supposed to do? Go to some big name college and get a dumb job we'd regret for the rest of our lives? And then it hit us. We were the generation that didn't care. We all thought the world was going to end so we never really cared about anything or anyone, just as long as we made it through that day, we were a little bit closer to not having to care about ANYTHING.

We would write music about the end of the world.

The rain picked up and a flock of geese honked by across the lake. That was it - we laid down our walking sticks and went up to my studio. The first note we hit in unison was the beginning of "0700". The riff was written almost instantaneously and I began singing what is now the first line of the seventh track on my CD: "Feels like the end of the world, Tastes like caviar".

After that night I kept working on this song as I really liked the idea. I decided that I was going to write a concept CD about 2012 and the end of the world. Each song would be titled by a different hour encompassing the last 6 hours on earth. I wrote a whole story about a prophet who warns the people of earth about a lightening storm that will destroy mankind. After the story was written I began work on the music. "0700" is the track where the prophet is standing atop a great hill warning the people about the storm and speaking of the damage it will do.

"And as they stand in line, they try to question
They question what they've done, there is NO question
The lightening strikes in a line, what can you do?
You run into the eye�

A barren wasteland that begs and pleads
No one will survive, Not even me
My heart is racing, I think I might be
I think that I might finally be FREE"
