I came up with a whole bunch of musical ideas and tried to decide what the common thread was. Then I realized I had been staring out the window watching the rain come down every single day. The rain grafted itself to my subconscious. The album's theme manifests itself in the flow and structure of its pieces which range from the fiery to the reflective. The guitarist sees many parallels between water and humanity, which also encouraged him to pursue the thread.
Water is fluid, and our ability to be creative is fluid as well.
We are able to adapt, and move fast and slow. Also, our bodies are largely made up of water. We're born in water. The process of climatic change is fundamental to our lives. The Water Garden has all of those connotations.
