Song Insights into songs on One Ton Suit CD
"Tune In Toyko"
This song's title was influenced by a ex of mine. When times were fun. When we couldn't get enough. The lyrics are light and fun - but on a slightly clever side.

"I Can't Do (Worse Than You)"
And then there's this contrast! After it's over. And it's nasty nasty break-up. I'd be willing to guess that 95% of us humans have felt this way at least once in our lives. It's so obvious it's almost funny.

"Ms. September"
Didn't Rod Stewart sing about infatuation? (how is that spelled!?) There's plenty of us boys who've hid copies of Playboy under our beds. And had extreme crushes on the centerfold gals. I had a crush on Ms. September. So I wrote this tune about here. And kind of imagined what she may be like for real.

"Pedaling Back Words"
You know you've gotten yourself involved once or twice with someone you were maybe physically attracted to. And they turned about to be a little...uh, overwhelming? Here's a jamming little fast paced song about that for ya!

"On Your Mind Tonight"
Who sings that old pop song "After the love is gone?". Well, this song is along those lines. Somethings bothering you. Something's bothering me. All that dam uneasyness. But fact is we still dig each other. We must be addicted to drama right?! ;-)

"Starchild"
Those who know me know I'm a MAJOR Kiss fan. And although I like Gene, Paul has always been my main man. This is little tune about him.

"Where We Are"
Atomsplit is pretty good at the "post breakup" song. And this one is one our coolest I think. This one got nasty. Talking bad about me all over town. And Lord knows I didn't do anything to deserve that. So, this is where we are? Well your shooting star is gonna fall to the ground.

"(Over) Reaction"
Dam this record was full of post breakup songs! So here's another one. Only it's slow and angst filled. I'm sure you can relate to getting shit off your chest and out of your mind after making it through a tough one. You deserve better anyway. Also this tune is kinda speaking about all my breakup songs from my point of view. They're all my little "over reactions".

"Crashing The Void"
This one is kinda the prequel to "Stop A Second" on the microstar CD. A lot of people making money of you and me and our anger. Hey it's cool to be screwed up right?

"How Crazy?"
Oh my God I dated this crazy girl for about a week and half. No wait, I dated a buncha crazy girls for a few weeks. (No, not at the same time!) Even on meds the Doctor's prescriptions didn't really seem to be helping them! But the Dr's don't get to know 'em like I do. This ones a fun one.

"Generation Xt
Is there such a thing as "generational anxiety"? I think I just coined a new buzz term! We always hear that the children our are our future. But look at what they are being handed to deal with? Dam! I don't envy them.

"No Such Luck"
I love the line "it's better to have lost and loved then never have loved at all". See then I tricked it by following it with: "it's better to have your had your back against the wall". This one is about that sinister sweet girl who digs me!
