This album is based on the concept behind Japanese woodblock prints of the 19th century. They were prints that mirrored and reflected the everyday world of the common people and many seperate and disparate acts could be ongoing at any one time. A cacophony becomes a symphony and it all happens right now. They were known as Pictures of the Floating World. They were the kind of art that the average Japanese citizen would have in their homes at that time. The songs deal with certain themes, and their outcomes, in people's lives.

I Came Upon A Vow - Deals with how declaring love , or other emotions, or legalities or social situations can be set aside and how that can affect all those who are encompassed in the situation. Things are no longer carved in stone, or are they?

I Will Have To Be A Memory - Realizing that a personal romantic situation is not going to become what they hoped it would be, one person decides it is time to move on.

Promise - Our new relationships have such a pristine future and yet our mistakes sully them and render them unfulfilled.

Where Are You - In our life subtle forces in ourselves or others that we may not be able to identify until later, break up that relationship or prevent it. And then we wonder what happened.

Send Your Love To Me - Distance and circumstance can work against a relationship, but we need to believe in ourselves.

Pictures Of The Floating World - All these things that are happening around us and we're all in it together.

And, Tomorow - Children playing in puddles and the next thing you know they have to come up with excuses. A world of now starts to become the complicated world of their adult life.

The Man At The End Of Time - Time changes so much, but you have to be honest with yourself to know who you are and where you are going. Living a lie is not an option.

Walking, Again - Anonymity, isolation, too many people, not enough connection, losing the reason to care for and understand those around us. How do we get that back?
