- Coins In A Fountain
A lovely song about hope to start off the album, and the journey. A story always starts hopeful. - 27
A personal favourite since I first started listening to him, I'm so pleased that it got a studio version. A song about life through numbers, growing up, and regrets. - Heart's On Fire
Another one that I've loved and holds some memories, a sweet little love song. - Bullets
A unique storytelling song that may not be relevant to me or you but I love it all the same, there's harmonica used. - Golden Leaves
Interesting choice of instruments make this one sound foreign, mysterious, and sad. A brilliant middle point of the story, a low point. - Thunder
A change of pace, life keeps rolling. A ton of cute little metaphors and sayings used in this one. - Rolling Stone
About travelling, love, self-doubt, and coming home. Not the band. - Start A Fire
Small tidbits of other songs appear in this one, like we're tying it all together. - Whispers
The title track and possibly the first song officially released. Deals with ageing, questioning everything, and coming to terms with reality. - Riding To New York
Another interesting story song with notes of falling apart, and last chances. I love when Mike writes about other people's stories that he's heard on his travels. - Scare Away The Dark
The single, a few nods to songs and lyrics from the previous album and an end of renewed hope and coming together.
Because I like looking for patterns and themes, I'll share what I found which was love (obviously), fear, hope as well as regret, growing up, fire/smoke and the general outdoors like the sea, modern chaos, and travelling. These are weaved through each song to make them fit together properly and make it a great album to listen to in full and truly understand.
