![]() ![]() I told him what I wrote each vocal song about and I he interpreted the variety of emotions on the album very well. He has an outstanding smooth and powerful voice and is without question one of the elite singers of the new melodic rock generation. It's also vocalist Tracy White's (Intruder/Shotgun Symphony) entrance onto the album - how well do you feel he's conveyed your lyrics and 'never give up' themes on this track and others? I realized that I was on the verge of finally fulfilling my longtime dream of making an album and I was thinking back to the long road full of obstacles and setbacks that I had traveled to get to that point. I wrote it in early 2001 when I was just a few weeks away from the start of the recording of the album. I'd have to think about that you're absolutely right about the lyrical theme. I'm a huge Shooting Star fan but I never thought about that song as sounding like SS. 'Long Time Coming' sounds not unlike Burning era Shooting Star, and seems to explore the lyrical theme of how long it's taken to get this album to the final stages. I expect that more of that style will be heard more on my future albums. I have a lot of prog rock influence but it is heard only moderately on this album. I think it worked pretty well and I look forward to experimenting with and growing in this progressive rock style. I've always loved that intro and decided to try the same concept for the beginning of this album. To what extent has Kansas influenced not only this piece but your songwriting across the board?Ĭool that you notice the Kansas influence I got the idea for this song from the introuction of Kansas's MTV concert, which was later released on videocassette as 'The Best of Kansas Live.' The band walks on stage to a collage of 'Nobody's Home,' 'Song for America,' The Pinnacle' and 'Incomudro - Hymn to the Atman,' all done in a very synth-symphonic way. Then into the music which eventuates into an instrumental mosaic of the album's melodic themes and riffs to come, woven skillfully so as to never get tedious. Yes, that's right I originally titled this song 'Genesis', which was meant to be more symbolic of the beginning of my career rather than a tribute to a band that has been a big influence on me But when I taught the song to my album's drummer, Eli Hludzik, he described it as an 'overture' and I guess that influenced me because a few months later I got the idea for 'Lecoverture' 'Lecoverture' immediately reveals your love of Kansas with the affectionate title pun (Leftoverture) firstly. Each of the tracks is given a detailed overview, as discussed between Lec and Glory Daze's Lee Bradfield.
