Behind the Meaning: Breakthrough (Close To You)

Greetings MD Fans,

Allow me to pause and just thank all of you for the love you've been showing me.  I have to say that it warms my heart to see all this support.  I figured now that all the initial business from releasing an album is over, I can get back to blogging the meanings behind my songs.

The next song on the album is Breakthrough.  This is probably THE most interesting song on the album, because it was literally written in like 2 hrs.  I was going through some things (both personal and professional), and one day the load just got too heavy for me to bare.  I just got SO overwhelmed to where I told a friend at work "you know, i feel like sometimes you just gotta go to Hell and back just for things to go your way....just to break through the nonsense."  Little did I know, I was establishing the foundation for one of my favorite songs on the album.
