"And Here Goes"

My memory's foggy, however I believe the first talk of a 3-disc, 4-hour Garibaldis' album came soon after the completion of (Also Known As) Constellations in October 2008. What's clear is that by the following March, Steve had announced a title and I'd set about planning my 80 minutes of music. The Hope And Monet sessions kicked off in Spring of 2009 where the concept was solidified. Thanks to exceptional planning, my album was all-but written (and mostly recorded) by the end of the year. We knew HAM was an epic undertaking but no-one expected it to overrun its release date by a year, crazy days. 



And Here Goes
"And confusion hits so suddenly
We once were safe now lost all three
Divided in the ways we work
United in the way we hope."

I roam this land, a lost cause

I've walked these boards, for hours on end
Time races by as I stand still
Forgot to grow, forget most things

Do we change?

Can we heal?

I crawl these floors, dirt and all

You warned me once, I ignored
I age a year in what seems a day
What have I achieved? Where too now?

Have I changed?

Can you heal me?

And confusion grows achingly

We once were safe now gone all three
Remembered through these words we write?
Forgotten not without a fight
