Song commentary for this album by Daniel Smyers.
1. Excusable
This song is about our CD-selling process last summer at Myrtle Beach, and the up's and down's about work and fun.
2. Down At The Harbor
This is a song I wrote when I went to the beach with my girlfriend at the time. She gave me a hard time while i was there, hence the song.
3. The Issue
"The Issue" is the first song we wrote for the record..It's about somebody not recognizing how much you care about them.
4. Winter
I wrote the chorus to the song while watching Fever Pitch..The story of my last relationship parallelled this movie, so it kind of worked out.
5. Air We Breathe
This is a song about touring.
6. Count Me Out
"Count Me Out" is an old song that I wrote about a cheating girlfriend.
7. A Letter From Dallas
This song is about touring and the ones closest to you not supporting what you're doing.
8. Carolina
Fun beach song about a girl in the Carolinas.
9. Give And Take
This is the ballad of the record..Different than anything we've ever done. We're pretty excited about it though!

Title track of the record..once again, about touring.
11. Tune In
This song is about a good friend walking out on you when you're on the opposite side of the country. |
