The opening track. "Where am I?", the existential entry question that carries a lost, lonely, honest tone. Sometimes the confession is easier to say when the mask sits less firmly.
Luke 15:17, the prodigal son: "And when he came to himself", in the Greek original eis heautòn dè elthōn (εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν), "coming to himself". This is the turning moment: the son comes to himself, and suddenly he sees where he is.
The question is one each son must ask. Without shame. Where are you? When the answer is honest, it is the beginning of the way home.
The track echoes the long American tradition of search and longing: Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken", Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run". Disorientation, the wish for homecoming, all woven into the question. Mike's sound carries this honest question in vulnerable form.
