Sometimes the story behind a song, speaking strictly of MY songs, is not much of a story. 'Caught' is one such song. There are times when I must force myself to write a song, or to finish a song, or take the initiative to create something new, at least something with a bit of structure. 'Caught' was inspired by the music of a local, original group which features tight, percussive acoustic guitar and lots of percussion, somewhat reminiscent of Ani DiFranco's music. The phrase 'caught in the crosshairs', which opens the song, sounded 'tough' and fit rhythmically with the type of song I wanted to write. The lyrics developed into a reflection on 'the drama of life'. Of course I always take the opportunity to provide myself some freedom to improvise within a 'welcoming' (meaning chord progression) environment. A loose version of the tune is here for you to hear. . .
