Story Behind The Song
The creative process for this was much different than my normal process. I didn't have a specific idea or life experience to draw upon. It began as a studio experiment with a Piano riff and a drum machine. I outlined the skeleton of the song on the fly, then I added all the instruments The lyrics were added after the music was recorded. An early demo of this won an honorable mention at The John Lennon Song Contest.

Lyrics
Collide
Written by: John McDermott
Hey, blow me a kiss,
You can't miss,
you're much to close.
Hey, you knock me out,
Please be careful,
when you throw your weight about.
Lets collide you and I,
Lets collide and not know why,
Lets collide you and I,
Lets collide and not know why,
Hey, you blow me away,
you throw my senses,
into disarray.
Hey, let the world catch up
You and I,
we are all shook up
Lets collide you and I,
Lets collide and not know why,
Lets collide you and I,
Lets collide and not know why,
