On Bear
I wrote Bear in the apartments off Bear Street. Kinda hard when there are folks living all around you. I meant there was just no privacy in that place. You can really tell in my singing. I had to sing out in the front room and in the middle of the day and I was not sure who as listening to me.
I kept wanting to go to Home Depot and make some sort of singing booth. Eventually we moved down the street to a much better loca. . . I am not sure what people thought of the whole deal, but the good thing about apartment living is that people move away. I guess I will never know.
By the way, being reserved in singing a passage really doesn't work out well, and I am not really that happy with the album. There are some great tracks but there are some really funky ones. Recorded on Samplitude and Reason and the studio really needed an update, and I think its pretty easy to see.
I will flip on Arantes do Nascimento every now and then and get into the groove, or Disneyland At Closing Time, which is also on Bear, and of course To Sit Before The Lord. I am glad I was a part of that song.
Lyric Highlight
When The true CEO appears
There will be no more fear
At the wisdom of His judgement
All will be made clear
And we as servants to the Most High
Hear this One True CEO
And we as servants to the King
Shall rejoice and dance and sing

Pele
As a kid, I was really into soccer. I remember it was either soccer or music. I remember the day that I chose music and gave my soccer up. I played as a full back and I loved it. Perhaps someday I will return to my soccer roots. . . I wrote an album about it.
But my point has nothing to do with the album Soccer.
When I was a kid and all into soccer, I went to soccer camp and one day when it was raining and we couldn't go out and practice, we sat around and watched old Pele clips. Pele inspired me. Those clips of his ability and especially this picture, are drilled into my mind as the definition of a soccer great.
This memory somehow struck me many, many, years later when I was living on Bear street. I wrote Arantes do Nascimento. . . Pele.
