Writing songs for my new cd...I play all my own instruments, do my own vocals, produce and engineer.
I am just a hobbyist, creating music in a vacuum as an answer to the ultimate zen riddle. I play all my own instruments, do all my own vocals, write all music and lyrics, and arrange, engineer and produce my own tracks in my home studio.

Story behind the song
NEW MIX 7/12/11 About divorce. Brutal, gut wrenching, make you wanna kill yourself divorce. But's also about the redemptive power of breaking everything down and starting over, and gaining a new and happy life along the way. Hence, the title.
Lyrics
Thank You For The Pain I dont hate you But the thought has crossed my mind A word that rolls around in my head all the time Feed your anger With the dinner that I made for you I hope it tastes just like the sh** that you put me through Prechorus: But I know that the moment you walk out of that door I'll no longer be the man I was before Free to taste a sweeter pain of a brand new life without you And I won't need to blame you anymore Chorus: I want my world to blow up right before my eyes, so I can see it was never mine at all When you ripped my broken heart away you left a gaping hole, without a soul But held a seed that only needed rain I'd like to thank you for the pain I don't need you And I never will again Suffering is now a job for other men Save your hatred For the person who took care of you You never did a goddamn thing that I asked you to Prechorus: You need to know that the moment you walk out of that door I'll no longer be the man that you ignored A path to freedom paved with the blood of your bad temper And I Won't be a prisoner anymore Chorus: I want my world to blow up right before my eyes, so I can see it was never mine at all When you ripped my broken heart away you left a gaping hole, without a soul But held a seed that only needed rain I'd like to thank you for the pain Bridge: All the clashes that scattered ashes of the life I never had But now I got all the things I want and I'm a grateful dad I don't know you And I don't have to care Where you go and what you do is your affair Tell your story to the ones who say they care for you It's possible they'll think your bull sh** 's really true Prechorus: But I know that the moment you walk out of that door Realize that I'm the guy that won the war The battles left me scarred but I became the better person and that's one thing I have to thank you for Chorus
