I’m not sure it has radio potential – time will tell – but it was an good challenge creatively to write the song in that direction. Pop/rock anthem = less lyrics = really challenging when you have a big idea to convey. So it felt very missional to me to write it this way and it was also an invigorating creative challenge. Tell me once again who I am to You, Who I am to You, whoa. If I'm Your beloved, Can You help me believe it. The kind of songs we’ve come to expect to hear on the radio can sometimes be disappointing, but I haven’t given up on it and its listeners just yet (see my comment 27 below for thoughts about radio singles).

In 1999- I had what Mayo Clinic refers to as a “Stress- induced Psychotic Epsiode” after a Disc Polisher I had loaded and started, crashes making an unexpected loud, unpleasant sound.
