	Someone remarked "think Weber & Rice". Kind of an over-the-top pretentious piece that keyboard lovers could like.

	Story Behind the Song This piece is made up of two different inspirations. First, the opening melody, which is repeated in variations throughout the piece (except in the vocal section) came upon me several years ago. While to some it may sound somewhat schmaltzy, it came from listening to the romantic-period classical music from Saint Saens, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin, as well as the likes of George Gershwin.. Secondly, the vocal melody and lyrics were written when I was going through a very difficult period in my life. It is a bit autobiographical. When everything in my life already seemed like it was going wrong, September 11th happened. But then the bad news didn't stop there. It seemed every week brought its own surprise for the worse. I knew it would end. I would hit bottom and start to rebuild. One night I was banging on my piano when I found that the two different themes were complementary. I made the variations on the first theme to reflect (in my imagination) different aspects of my life. I tried doing the vocals myself, but not being a very experienced or trained singer, I could not get it the way I wanted. I asked my good friend John to do them for me. So, one night I went to his studio and directed his singing without giving him a chance to learn it first and make it his own. This approach might have been a little frustrating for John but allowed me to get what I originally heard from the song. He did a great job. Lyrics Another day's coming you know I know it's no surprise No matter what today brings tomorrow I'll still be alive Bad days are all around me the good ones are so hard to find I keep searching for the moments that remind me God is kind A new day is here now but I wake up and it's still the same I struggle as I wonder will I be falling more today Bad days are all around me Are you listening to a word I say? I keep searching for the moments that remind me God is kind And it's been so hard these past few years and all the tears Yes it's been so hard I've got to win my life back now I've got to change but I don't know how Another day's coming you know I know it's no surprise No matter what today has brought tomorrow I'll still be alive I keep fighting off despair I know there's hope but I don't know where I keep searching for my God who is kind So here I am now at a crossroads in my life Not sure in which direction I should turn There's still so much for me to learn It's up to me I stand alone I have to bring myself back home But it ain't so bad this life of mine I'm going through No, it ain't so bad I'm goin' through some hard times I know they're not forever I want to work it out and see it come together It ain't so bad No, it ain't so bad So, here I am now at a crossroads of my life
