Anchor & Brail Singled Out Week: Find Me

This song was written on the top floor of a double-decker bus in England. It was raining that night and I didn't feel like going out that night. I was away from my friends and family and the whole idea of being separated from everything I loved was weighing on me. Being a traveling salesman it seems the only stability in life is instability. I wanted to turn off my mind and focus on how incredible my life truly was, I didn't want to wallow in the shallow pool of self-pity so I began to write, I mean after all I was in the UK, exploring places people only dream about.

I think of all the lyrics on this record these came out the most concise and introspective. Since I did write it in the UK I think I was influenced by the surrounding sounds� doves, radiohead, travis, etc. It was the first song I had written for the record and feel it's the foundational piece that all the other songs were tailored to.

Lyrical intentions: 'I've been waiting for all my life for a drug called peace of mind', but I don't think that I am any closer to finding it then when I first started out. Perhaps part of me never wants to find it, the uncertainty of it all is intoxicating, it makes for an exciting yet erratic tomorrow.
