It’s been a while (14 years, give or take) since Chris placed an advertisement in the Washington City Paper calling for seasoned musicians to work on a blues/rock recording project. When I first showed up at his studio, barefoot and hung over from the previous night’s debauchery, I had no idea what lay in store as I began setting up my keyboard. I hadn’t played in several weeks since parting ways with yet another band… my head hurt… and Chris and I did not seem to have very much in common, at least on the surface. I was an engineer who worked for the Department of Defense. Chris would laugh and describe himself as one who “stacked fruit in symmetrical pyramids.” We were soon joined by John (a bass wielding medical technician affectionately referred to as “Moose”), Ray (a shaggy-looking wedding photographer and versatile guitarist), and Jeff (who spoke quietly, but banged the drums). Once we got started, it was immediately obvious to us that we were having too much fun playing music together to care about "cultural differences." And so it began.

While we leisurely recorded some original songs over the next few months, we were visited by a wide variety of musicians and personalities – background vocalists Nancy and Margaret, harmonica players, saxophonists, another drummer who could muster nothing more than a polka beat, a lead guitarist with an unusually large ego, and a chiropractor/guitarist from New Jersey who (as he pulled a joint from his shirt pocket) offered to buy the chair in which he sat for $50. There were other colorful characters, who may have contributed to these songs over the years, but they have gone their separate ways, their names forgotten. After all, a dozen years was a long time to take to record our first album, though it was never really our intention to actually create “an album” – we just enjoyed playing and recording music. Over time, we lost touch with Jeff and John, while we lost Ray (to whom our first album "Just Passing Through" was dedicated) in the summer of 2007. With the deepest of thanks to all our musical brothers and sisters, we decided to pool our collective efforts onto that first album, if for no other reason than to preserve the music that brought us together and helped forge lasting friendships. Chris and I (and sometimes John) have continued to record original tunes and our sophomore effort is due for release in late 2012. We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did putting it together. It’s all good. _ Tim

Invincible
All Good Things Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Caught myself before I fall
I see through all the reasons we are letting go
Even if this day won't come
I'll burn a thousand moons just to light a single sun

And now the darkest hour collides
With our unguarded lives If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Dare to fight
Nothing left to fearwe could never fallso alivehead full of firewe'd be invincible
This storm up there it knows my name
It calls from a sea of light
When the soldiers look away
And now we stand at heaven's door
But we're just mortals
Can we face another war?
And now the darkest hour collides
With our unguarded lives
If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight

Dare to fight
Nothing left to fearwe could never fallso alivehead full of firewe'd be invincible

The line, "this storm up there knows my name," indicates that the singer is familiar with adversity and difficulty. However, the line "nothing left to fear, we could never fall so alive, head full of fire," suggests that even in trying times, one can hold on to their strength and confidence.
