Story Behind The Song

This song is actually my song Pilot with a different drum pattern and an electric guitar playing a soaring melody. My friend Dave heard a demo of Pilot and was inspired immediately to write a guitar line on top of it, similar to the arrangement of the piano and guitar portion of Layla. If Pink Floyd had written the Top Gun soundtrack, this is what it would sound like. The drums are a little cheesy, but here's my lame excuse. I have a decent drum machine and a bad drum machine. Unfortunately, I wrote the scratch drum track with the crappy machine, and when it came time to write the real track, only then did I discover that the two drum machines interpret 110 beats per minute slightly differently. I tried time stretching techniques with Cool Edit Pro, but they couldn't fix the problem. The title Center in Me comes from the Tool song called Sober. In that song is a line "I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave." I changed the perspective to the listener and poof! The rest is irrelevant history.
