Scaling the walls of one's innermost demons, we hear what happens
when one delves into the destructive emotions of paralyzing fear
and overwhelming doubt. As thunderous and powerful as rain can be,
the backdrop for this song, the narrator comes to experience the
flood of her emotions personified as "the demon." So strong
are these emotions that can grow within us, we are reminded of how
we can lose the ability to separate these haunts from real life
once they sabotage hope and drown them with trickery.

Have
you ever experienced a vicious wake-up call that becomes someone
else's rude awakening? Caught in the act of soul-ripping, we hear
the narrator pointing an unwavering finger at her guilty counterpart
before taking off to the safety of home. Paying homage to the old
adage, "things can only go so far," this song is sung
with all the gumption left inside of one who has been sliced and
diced before her soul had a chance to catch up with the crime.

If we could only take a step or two away from the old, a new world
lies ahead of us, uncharted, refreshing and invigorating. Like an
albatross around our necks, sometimes the past can hang onto us
longer than it should. The struggles of letting go and moving on
are revisited as the song cycles through memories of the past.

This is an anthem for freedom and becoming who you really yearn
to be. Sometimes our purpose in life can be hard to hear against
the backdrop of what everyone else thinks is best for us. Each aim
can begin to feel like a moving target. Until we reach a level of
satisfaction, we can find ourselves in a very awkward phase of waiting,
as if life is stuck in a holding pattern. And while we wait, we
are blending into backgrounds, untying knots, hiding under our surface
and eventually learning how to tune our ears to the sounds of our
heart's true desires.

From
passion, despair and recovery, Hunt For The Red takes a ride through
the rocky terrain of love and loss. We leave the heat and passion
of the summer to the chilly discoveries of autumn which cause us
to wonder what we might've lost when a relationship ends. Just as
seasons bring about different climate and color, we also realize
that our own shades and hues of our emotional landscape change when
we let go of love that ends. And with this, one can begin to "see
the light in the words that you never said..."

Sometimes the start of a new relationship can create more questions
than
answers. We struggle for a little light to help us understand the
frustration and hesitations we go through when we begin to open
our hearts to someone new. Often we find ourselves pushing on the
walls of our hearts in an effort to understand what we're feeling
long before fate has had a chance to get to work.

When life pushes a mirror into your heart and begs to be understood,
the
pain forces you to reflect - whether you want to or not. Sometimes,
we find
ourselves hanging onto memories and hopes that dig us deeper in
the past
that we are trying to leave behind. Our hearts get stuck between
staying and
leaving and so, the halfway heart is created.

When the lightness of one becomes attracted to the darkness of another,
is
that light welcomed or blocked out? The journey to that answer becomes
one
of hope and yearning. The Hopeful One is sung from the perspective
of one
who longs to shed light on the darkest of hearts. What is revealed
here is that a piece of oneself and a peace of mind can get lost
when one tries to cast a light of love and hope on a heart that
won't let go of its shadows, suffering and darkness. Sometimes the
only response to the light of hope one tries to bring is the light
at the end of a narrowing tunnel, showing us the way out.

In the day in and day out of trying to make our dreams come to fruition,
we
can feel like life becomes a race against time. We constantly wonder
when
life is going to start happening, instead of embracing the fact
that it is happening all the time. Inspired by never say die logic
and small-town roots,
the hope here is that once all is said and done, we can have the
life we truly long for.

The politics of love, in all of its negotiations wrought with betrayal
and hurt. What happens when the time for conversation has been robbed,
the proverbial door has been locked and the case between your heart
and someone else's has been abruptly stamped "close?."
Suddenly, the seeds of love that were sown turn into casualties
of war where the battleground is your heart. Emotionally uprooted
and left alone to mend, the mission here is to overcome the obstacles
of devastating loss and turn it into gain.
