This was my first ever official studio recording for drummer/producer (and M.I.T. graduate) THOMAS HAPKE. A very shy and sort of unpolished piece of work, where I had the strange job to include THOMAS' "colourful" lyrics into his own compositions. The album appeared to be a mix out of several styles, but still, the wonderful piano ballad title track to me vocally was more than only interesting.

After a couple live shows (eg. as support for STEVE LUKATHER & THE LOS LOBOTOMMYS) I quit to concentrate more on MR.HATE.

Note: After I left the band, THOMAS' got German pop singer (before his solo career that was) LAITH AL-DEEN to fill the gap. THOMAS meanwhile arranged to make a decent living as drum teacher and writer for books of drum lessons.
