I guess the song is about negotiating the process of character development through the ups and downs of life.

Cold water for the face of those in love with the wrong person...

The most precious gift we can give each other is our time.

So, this song could be seen from a man or woman's perspective. It is a simple story of loss and the aftermath that inevitably follows.

I wrote this song as a reminder to all of us that we can be a huge help to family or friends - who may be struggling with a personal challenge at times - when we let them know we support them and are beside them all the way. I discovered a female vocalist with the assistance of my recording engineer who I felt would really let this message flow through a song that could be categorized as Country, or Christian or Inspirational...and I am so pleased with how it came out. I hope you agree.

A song about a girl struggling to not get back together with her ex.

The story behind this song began in 2009 when I was going thru my 2nd divorce, almost lost my business due to the economic downturn, and decided to go to a seminar in Cincinnati that was on personal development. Transformational to say the least. My life and relationships have changed for the better and continue to everyday. Next Step is about having the courage to live your life to the fullest.

This song was born out of the frustration with the idea that music is "free." It was also a Song Title Challenge about a year ago. I was also pleased that it just won awards from NSAI and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.

Not giving up. Wants to find back to what brought them together.
