    Story Behind the Song
    This songs was put together one afternoon when John Vargas played the verse riff to Mikey de Lara in their apartment sophmore year of college. After tinkering with the rythym, Mikey came up with the music for the chorus, and shortly there after, the lyrics and the melody. The lyrics describe the reflections in the life of a young man who realizes that the mistakes and regrets he has and has made are never going to stop him from moving on with his life in a positive way. When Mikey moved to LA, the first person to buy the Joe's Myth CD was a clean, polite young man who had the same name as Mikey's cousin. The next day, he left a message on Mikey's voicemail mentioning, "This is Christian Slater. I just wanted to tell you that this song, "A Saturday," is stuck in my head... Which is a good thing. So, keep it up."

    Lyrics
    Take me out into the light
    Beyond a flash in blinding sight
    And well, if I could hide away
    "I wouldn't tell you," you might say

    But I'm not there
    I'm here with you
    Don't tell me things that I want for you
    I took a chance
    And I was wrong
    But I won't stop, I'm going on

    Trying isn't all it seems
    Just let it go, it comes, you see
    And find out what might work today
    You never knew what she might say

    CHORUS

    I'm glad I thought I was alive
    It's not too often, I might sigh
    So take these moments, far and few
    I see your eyes, I know you knew

    CHORUS
