	A very musical way of appealing to the hard rock edge in all of us. The opening of Holding Images is a great meaty rhythm section riff that resolves quickly into a contrastingly darker verse with spatial piano backgrounds. The choruses sweep the mood to a burning level. The variation in vocal range is the highlight here. The band has some fun with a quasi head banging instrumental groove section of drums, bass, rhythm guitar & fiendish keyboard choir riffs.

	Story Behind the Song The motif of Holding Images deals with living, learning & growing. If we do not retain our child like learning qualities, we become the embodiment of I know what I like and I like what I know and I will go down in flames with images of what I have been told instead of changing. The song was written in three parts. The lyrics became collaboration with Helen, Like Sonia manager & lyricist. She had a great poem like story and I had a chorus theme with melody & chords that belonged. The music developed & molded over a period of weeks of cutting, pasting, crying & self medicating. Holding Images and several other songs off our CD were recorded in a day with only one or two takes. Lyrics I remember sitting Peacefully with you Mending things broken Fixing on the new We were there Full of Childhood charm The world was ours Skirting the ways of harm Chorus: I am holding images Of stories we have told Black and white images We burn with flames we know I have said my good byes A thousand farewells I needed distance I always wished you well Painting secret masks With topics of the past The dramas now seem dulled Not meant to last
