The Name

Crossing a huge intersection in Tribeca with Simon and Leigh, I suddenly got an idea for my album's title: "Depth of Perception." I really loved it -- you may see it in some ID3 tags -- I even registered the domain name depthofperception.com in anticipation of using it.

After I wrote "Something I Don't", I realized I finally had enough material for an album. It wasn't until then, when I put the songs into a single iTunes playlist, that I realized that the name had to be "Start Again Tomorrow."

I realized that somehow, despite how anarchic my songwriting had been, a very consistent theme connected all of the songs -- starting over. Looking at my life over the last couple years, it's really not a coincidence. . . .

So "Start Again Tomorrow" it was. Just a tid-bit of history for you :)
