Gonna Love 'Em To Death (If It KIlls Me) I wrote this song to poke a bit of fun at men who think that wearing western garb is all it takes to transform them from ordinary, uninteresting guys into macho 'lovers,' as dangerous as the 'big, bad wolf in the fairy tale.' I had great fun writing 'I’m Going to Love 'Em to Death (If It Kills Me),' not least because I was able to mention 'Donald Trump’s hair.'
Sickle Moon: Late one night I looked up at the black sky and saw a sliver of a 'sickle moon' suspended there. Immediately I was inspired to write a song about the painful experience of lovers breaking up. We do not know the reasons for their parting, just that it hurts.
Wintersong: Imagine a cold winter day, with a chilling wind blowing through your heart because you have just lost your love. What went wrong? Who’s to blame?
Cowboy Mid-Life Crisis Blues: I love the gritty style of country music, and especially enjoy poking a bit of fun at the clichéd image of the macho cowboy. The guy in this song, who doesn’t get the irony of his situation, just evolved into a tragic figure who is funny in a dark sort of way.
