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
Maybe we are the least evolved of all Earth's creatures....
Lyrics
I'm only human, I can't run like a horse, I can't hunt like a cat, I'm not as fast as that I'm only human, I have no coat like a bear no colored camoflage, I have to make myself things to wear I can't navigate through the ocean, like a dolphin can Can't track a scent like a dog, cause Im only a man I'm only human, I'm not as perfect as a weed I have to think because I have no instinct to tell me what I need I'm only human, theres so many things I lack I have to make myself tools and weapons to protect myself from attack. and they tell us that we are the height of evolution I think that if we really look there's a more obvious conclusion SOLO 16 bars We're only human, wiith so much violence and greed we let our fellow man go hungry, so we can have more than we need We're only human, with our advanced technology we try to conquer nature, and we destroy the ecology we think we were meant to rule the earth, with our inquiring minds of all the simple living creatures we're the only ines who have to ask why We're only human, we have yet to realize that the thing we need to change most is on the inside of our eyes We're only human, ---- only human, not meant to dominate------just appreciate, its not too late
