We're being featured as the daily download at http://www.isound.com - we believe that they're going to be promoting Identification. I hadn't listened to the track in a while and had forgotten how much I enjoy working to it. It was purpose written to accompany an informational display at a trade stand - something you could have playing constantly that would stay in the background but not drive the presenters mad. You can read my approach to the design of the track here and of course, please do check out iSound if you haven't already.

Life is kinda bizarre at the moment - I hope I will get to look back and remember these times fondly. So, tomorrow I'm off to San Clemente to write with Kelli. We're gonna block out 4 hours and try to write a song, it's something we've been doing on and off now for 8 years and is absolutely one of my favorite things on the planet to do. It reminds me of surfing - I love watching surfers: I love the intent they have as they walk to the beach, I love how they are focused on nothing else but what the Water is doing - as children, our parents would drive us to the coast, and on seeing the first blue/green hue on the horizon we would break out into spontaneous singing of "I can see the Sea, I can see the Sea, I can See the Sea,..." and even though I can't see it - I love the expression on a surfer's face just after catching a good ride. Songwriting is creating time for something magical to happen.
The second chance of the title refers to a course of action that was offered to a number of musicians by Derek Sivers. I ducked it - this was a dumb thing to do.
