I am a songwriter. Whenever I am strongly moved I get a song. They come lyric and melody, a verse or chorus with imagined instrumentation I can never quite reproduce. I used to bring my songs to the band, start singing with my clumsy guitar or keyboard playing outlines and the band would fill in the colors, bringing the song to life. These days I am crafting my songs myself, using the amazing assortment of audio interfaces and plug-ins to create intriguing stories in sound. Imagining the tracks supporting the mood or emotion of a scene or creating the excitement to support action in a game.

Story behind the song
I wrote this during the build-up for the war in Iraq. The true reasons for this war were being so obscured. Powerful people will send others to war with promises that it is for a noble cause. Usually it is for Sphere of Influence, trade, territory, resources, market and alliance. Power.
Lyrics
Powerful People 2000, Madeline Preisner Powerful People, you've got to watch what they do their own search for power, is not what theyre tellin you Theyre sayin theirs is the right way, for the righteous and true but if they can hear the one true voice, then you can too Cause if you follow the leaders, if you just go along You might not end up where you had planned, you might be wrong Powerful people, will tell you what they want to. So just remember their power, all comes from you And you dont have to believe them, its OK to doubt Thats what thinkin for yourself is all about Cause its not easy to watch, other peoples misfortune Misery on TV Its not easy to look you see the pain and suffering It could be you and me, on TV Powerful people, will tell you what they want to. So just remember their power, all comes from you watch what they do their own search for power, is not what theyre tellin you
