"Somewhere Between." The oldest of all the songs on my CD, "Somewhere Between" was written in December of 1983 to reflect the differences between my experience of relationship and the messages I was hearing about relationship from the pop culture around me. Romance is one of life's sweetest pleasures, but relationships take hard work too. The lyrics say the rest. For guitar players, "Somewhere Between" is played in standard tuning, capo on the first fret, playing chords in the key of D (i.e. sounding in the key of Eb). To keep the intimate, introspective feel of this song, I added to the basic guitar and vocal tracks on the CD only a single harmony line and a few bars of simple lead guitar (much of which is done with "harmonics," which provide the light, "chime" sounds at the beginning and end of the song).
