v1 Is happiness a state of mind? or something much more unrefined? stuck inside our forebrains waiting for that tender pain of self inflicted misery (harmonized) is happiness a state of mind? or something much more unrefined? stuck inside our forebrains waiting for that tender pain of self inflicted misery v2 are you staring at computer screens? a long way from those distant dreams are you making some new frenemies? basking in the suffering drowning in your mind spam CH it’s been a long time, a long time indeed sir perhaps I have a reason now to show a love, a love, deeper than a season flood a heart breaking open like a rose BRIDGE Falling off my edges Letting go the rope arm in arm together I love you so CH Repeats

Ground Zero by David Husted When you find your answers can you tell me how? I’m still searching and I haven’t found It’s time to take a stand, say what you believe the un-named heroes gather on the streets You would speak your mind, but you don’t know how you would fan the fever but you don’t know how to climb crooked ladders toward a better day past the rising seas and that bitter sweet way home Ground Zero (never give up or give in) it’s time to say what you believe gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) arm in arm we’ll take the streets When you find your answers can you tell me how I’m still searching and I haven’t found a way through. I’ll take the road beside you It’s time to take a stand; say what we believe with the un-named heroes gathering on the streets We’ll find our, Our Ground Zero Ground Zero (never give up or give in) it’s time to say what you believe gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) arm in arm we’ll take the streets and when you survive the days and when you survive the nights thats when you’ll find ground zero thats when you’ll know ground zero Ground Zero (never give up or give in) it’s time to say what you believe gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) arm in arm we’ll take the streets

about

This is David Husted's fourth album and by far his best offering to date. I suspect that a tremendous urge to scream "Oh Hell Yes" will be the first of many happy thoughts cascading through your mind as you listen to this gem. Enjoy!

Dear Listeners,

Close your eyes right now and picture a place or a person or a feeling that encapsulates some of your happiest moments in life. That is what each of the songs on this album feels like to me. Each song was created by one person in a home studio environment. This means that each song was created more like an artist would create a painting. He or she may start with the barest of outlines and begin sketching. Slowly, over time, an image may appear and a song's character and story begins to take shape. This is then slowly molded into something more solid. Later, layers upon layers of colors are added with different accents and textures until one day something new exists in the world that was not there before. I offer these "somethings" to you. Enjoy

Sincerely

David Husted
