So this is the result of the past two years of my life. The joy, the pain, all the new feelings I never knew existed, and everything in between. When I wrote all the material for the first album, I was still finding my niche and exploring my writing abilities as they developed. For this album I feel like I grasped exactly what I was feeling and learned how to channel it into the words I was writing. I began to write this album in the fall of 2004 before In Headfirst was even done mixing and immediately knew these songs had something new, a different feel and source of inspiration than my previous songs. They are largely about taking the next step, moving on and finding a new person within myself no matter how terrifying it is to do so. I felt a deeper connection to the things going on in my life and found inspiration to write in everything that affected me. It wasnt until I moved to London in January of 2005 that the album began to really write itself. Immediately upon arriving, I felt a void, as if I had left something so very important behind, something so fragile that it would surely shatter if I didnt return. Thats when I began to let go and find myself again. All of the things I held onto so tightly started to fade away because I found that they really weren't as important as I initially thought. The people that hurt me time and time again were left behind and I could finally take a step forward and write about the change that was going on inside of me, which was a topic previously untouched. I wrote such a huge chunk of this album overseas, so much so that I considered naming it for that place somehow, but I felt that Somewhere Still Waiting encompassed the feel of this album better. After all the discoveries within myself and how I look at the people in my life, I found that I really am somewhere still waiting for that one thing to come along and knock me down once more, that one thing thats gonna force me to redefine myself all over again.
