A song I wrote about a situation where a girl called me hostile, and I said she was cold. The rest kind of just wrote itself. Despite some of the lines seeming a bit on the dark side, it's actually much more of an upbeat love song.

For Americans, it doesn't rightly matter which of the two political parties are in office; it ends up being the same result: Life becomes harder for Americans, as we lose more and more of our freedoms. Each side blames the other, and people just stay angry. For me, I think of America like Atlantis, in the sense that everything good about it is seemingly buried. I wrote this song to reflect that feeling.

Unfortunately, this is a song that all too many people relate to now. Myself, I've been out of work for a while, and the bills are piling up and money in scarce. Millions of people are stuck in dead-end jobs and are miserable. Working their fingers to the bone isn't what they wanted to do with their lives. But they need the money. Most of us don't have a choice in the matter. I wrote this song out of respect to all the hard-working people who never seem to get ahead.

A simple, fun song about a guy who really wants to a southern girl. In the US south, southern girls have a particular set of stereotypes surrounding them, and a lot of men are definitely drawn to them. They're known for being a little rowdier and tougher than girls from other parts of the world, and so they definitely have a special section all their own.

I was watching some poker game on TV and the announcer said "That's like sugar and salt," but I think he meant to say bitter-sweet or sweet and sour, or something in that vein. I'm not sure "sugar and salt" is an actual saying. But it did strike me that it might make a good song, so I went ahead and wrote something with that as the theme.
