WHERE WE STAND

One of the two older song on this EP. Where We Stand was originally written in 2004, with the original title of Blood on the Strings Again, then rewritten to it's final form sometime between 2005 and 2006.

I initially got the inspiration to the song when I was in a bit of a slump musically. I was still learning to play the guitar and sing, and I wasn't feeling it for some reason. Nothing inspired me to play, sing or write and I really didn't even want to touch my guitar. But then one song drew me back in. I felt passion in playing and singing my heart out again. I started playing that one song back to back, over and over again, for a few days. Actually, I played it so vigorously I cut a finger in my strumming hand several times, each time making the cut a little messier. After once again completing the song, I noticed the cut was already so bloody, some blood had sprayed on my strings and the body of the guitar. I hadn't really noticed 'cause I'd been playing the song in ecstasy. I sort of half-heartedly muttered to myself "blood on the strings again..." and that was it. I immediately knew I had to write a song about it. And the words are my story, why I love music and what it means to me to be passionate about it.
And the song that got me playing again was Blood on Blood.
