Where Do We Go?

Even though my single drops at digital stores around the globe today, that is not what this post is about. This single itself has a long history behind it. Back in 2000 I made a white label bootleg with the hook sampled from the original record. Then in 2003 I made another one. Then in 2006 I really set out to actually release it as a record and after Berhouse Snyder (the vocalists) delivered the vocal tracks to me things were set. Many incarnations and remixes later the question has still not been answered. The lyrics “Where do we go from here, now that all of the children are growing up” means so much in this day and time. It can make you reflect on pretty much anything from music to politics, even desciding where to go for dinner. It’s like a musical GPS, but you have to answer the question of where on your own.

Besides that it would make a great bit of tunage for a car commercial or technology company. My image, you see a minivan and the kids heading off to college (or wherever kids go these days when they leave home), the music is playing the and the chorus is going and then the parents look at each other, the beat kicks in and then you see them driving off in one of those mid life crisis cars. And its a no brainer for a technology or communications company. Heck, why not a travel company? Expedia and Travelocity, you listening?
