"We are all human and we all go though emotions of love, hate, anger, depression, jeliousy, rage, joy, because we all have this amazing but mysterious mass of tissue/organ which is our brains. I like to think that our brain is like our transister to our soul and can uncover our deepest self that at times is even unknown to our own coscious mind. all of us exsperience these emotions but I personally like to exsperience mine through music. All these things that I feel and I think about are woven through out our songs and it just builds that connection between myself and Doug and our fans." ~H
