Title Fight.

Almost exactly a year ago I finished writing a song called Home Sweet Home... and almost immediately I knew there was something special about it. As I tinkered with the melody and rhythm over the ensuing year, I started inadvertently referring to the song by a different name.

Now, both names fit... and to make things more complicated the phrase "Home Sweet Home" was the starting place, the central textual thrust of the song. It seemed that no matter how much swagger the new name carried, I couldn't walk away from Home Sweet Home.

So, late one night in a mid-western hotel, I made a decision:

The wonderfully abstract, individually malleable concept that was the second title would inhabit whatever album/record/project on which Home Sweet Home eventually found itself.

With that in mind, may I have a drum roll please...

The new record will be called City Heart.
