This whole album was written over a short span of time, and it was my best collection of songs that came together. Maybe three months and the whole thing was written and pretty much recorded. I love to work like that. I think it produces good results, which tell a very concise tale without jumping too much around the place. An album should reflect the here and now, and Out Of Order does that perfectly of it's here and now.
It covers about a two years period when I was in a very delicate situation, and how that situation got resolved. It was a long period, and it consumed all of my thoughts and actions, and parts of it will never be over...but that's the stuff I don't even put in the songs. What I do put in, though, is the feelings that come in those circumstances, the confusion.
If you listen to the album, it'd not too hard to see how things were and what was going on, even though I don't put the obvious stuff right the surface. Out of this collection, other issues started to rise, and I found myself wondering "Now that that's over, what next? Where do I belong now?" That's what I am writing about now, and am working on a new collection I hope to post soon.
