Having completed the Out Of Order project, I found myself with a whole lot of nothing to say. I had exhausted everything that was in there writing it, and covered everything that was going on. I wrote in the period in between, but not much and certainly not well. I have never really been able to write about nothing. I reached a point where I started to write seriously again, writing about the things that were going on. But, as those things weren't earth shattering, the songs weren't either. So I started to work on a project I felt little passion for, and that's a receipe for disaster. It went through song changes like you wouldn't believe as each mediocre song was replaced with another one. I did, however, write a couple of really good ones at the time, and didn't want to waste them. Things progressed a lot for me personally and I stopped writing again. I had to move house, change jobs, and a few other things that left me in an odd place. But still I didn't write, and the project I had had hanging about was now old and stale, relating to yesterday, and coupling that with the lack of enthusiasm I had had for it anyway, I decided to drop the entire thing. Discussing this with a friend, a found myself having one of those epiphany-type moments when she simply said to me "Write about where you are now". Even though that should have been the most obvious thing in the world, I had missed it. In all the hassles I had been going through, I had forgotten to write about those same hassles! I started writing immediately and found I had a lot to say after all. I salvaged the songs from before that were good (and still relevant!) and completed the song-writing in a matter of weeks. The recording also happened quickly as did the mixing. I guess all the waiting paid off. It's a different album to the first, maybe a little mellower, and certainly dealing more with thoughts and feelings than events. Hence the title.
