The idea of this album came about simply from normal conversations within the group. You know how people often reminisce about old school friends & wonder whatever became of them; or the people who surprise us with their successes or failures. Anyway, the theme in this album is based on three people - friends at school but inevitably separated by chance, skill & fate.
