From the recording Short Story Long
Frank: People seem to not know how to take this one. That's O.K. Neither do I. I think it speaks to the fact that no matter how much you are influenced by outside sources throughout life, inevitably the final decisions you make come from within, and are yours. This song started as I was trying unsuccessfully to come up with a lead guitar part for Luisa's "Broad & Wide". I was getting frustrated until I put the pick down and started playing the part which became the backbone of this song.
Lyrics
F. Veres
For every journey that we make
This much is known
From the first breath that we take
We are alone
And through it all we carry on
Yet wonder why
we allow the dreams we meant to live
just pass us by
We look for answers on the way
to guide us through
We give our hearts to those who stay
as if they knew
And further on we cast our eyes
beyond the wall
but “happy ever after” is a place
inside us all
One heart to share
One soul, laid bare
Too late we find
It all gets left behind
For every journey that we make
This much is known
Until the last breath that we take
We are alone
Luisa: lead vocal
Frank: acoustic guitar
