I have an odd obsession that I don't think I've ever revealed before... I like to record rain storms and listen to them later.

I know. Weird.

But sometimes it leads to me writing stuff. I like to play the sound of rain and pick up an instrument to play over it. Going into this album I decided to play some rain and just record whatever came out. "Myth" came out. This isn't a first-take or anything. There's about a 20 minute version on my hard drive of me just trying stuff. But I ended up liking this melody, so it's what I kept.

I chose the word "Myth" as a title because the spooky nature of this piece suggests something dark and foreboding that is implied but never seen. We're all afraid of the old legends. The monster we don't know is there, but that we DO know IS there. Writing and listening to this one, I can almost see Christopher Lee lurking around, manipulating us all into the shadow of the Wicker Man. Or maybe Bigfoot walking between the trees. Or a big sea monster hanging out in a lake where you'd normally think "this is a great spot to fish!" I spooked myself out a little working on this track.

You'll either get this one and like it or get this one and skip it. This is the one track on the album that might bore some of you. And that's okay. For the kind of people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing that kind of person likes. I'm that kind of person. This is my sort of thing.

Mostly for thematic purposes on the album it seemed necessary to represent fear and foreboding. If nothing else, dig those David-Gilmour-ish guitar chords drifting in and out of the track between the Gene Simmons echoing low-notes, man.
