But another was, ?Why not give it another dimension and kinda put a story to it?? When you?re writing about something it gives you a little food for thought. What you?re describing was a concept album? I wanted to do a concept record but I didn?t want it to be a conventional type of concept record. ?Well here?s my concept record and this is the first song and by the end you?ll kind of understand what?s going on.?
