about

The album title is a line in one of the songs- Drive On. The concept is about memories that seem to float in and around old stomping grounds. Our memories are so subjective but every now and then they must cross paths in the ether.
When I return to certain places or drive familiar streets its like clusters of memories still survive and have never left.
I imagine everyone’s memories of same places passing each other in the street….on their way or mingling just like they did when they were reality.

On reading back through my notes it should be called ‘Searching for answers’ or just ‘Searching’ . I realise a lot of writing for me is seeking too! A way of unravelling and understanding.
