	Our favorite recording to this day. Recorded winter/spring 2002. An original song with lots of sweet harmonies and warm chords, but it still rocks.

	Story Behind the Song Breaking Away is easily summed up as individuality. We strived to make the chord progressions not exactly fit into a sort of cliche and the lyrics reflect that. Lyrics Would you ever compromise the accepted ways of life? I am ready to go my separate way Something's telling me that I've got to get my own And it seems to me that it's such an easy path to take My decision is mine to make And I claim it as my own Everybody's got something to give I want to make my statement but I don't want to be alone I can stand on top of my own two legs I don't need you behind me all the way The effort that I'm putting in Is wasted on life's foolish games My decision is mine to make Everyone wants me to be a phony or a fake I am not a nobody speaking in a monotone I want to make my statement but I don't want to be alone The time has come for me to break away from the mold
