I remember staying at Pete's parents home in Sierra Madre and listening to Spirt and Quicksilver messenger service until morning and jamming along. The first concert he and I ever attended was the Cream it was amazing. We had some great times the next years to follow then as time passed we both went different ways and many years later when he was living in the high desert and selling real estate we got back in touch talked for hours on the phone he sent me a cd of his latest music. News of his death was unbelievable to me.

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I really love this song. I still distinctly remember a caustic relationship I was in and had gotten out of - felt like I had saved my life. The lyrics "your love was like a shallow crick filled with twists and turns" rang very true for that experience to me. It remember wondering how many people kill themselves after an emotional breakup - not knowing that a great person was right around the corner to enter their life. This thought was veiled in the story. Only change I would make on this is to make the ending not resolve to a major key - but stay in minor. I think originally I made it resolve to major to give it a sense of optimistic resolve. To me the ending feels a little rushed - I'd like to hear the ending trail more - or perhaps a fade out. Was great working with you on this song too! Hope all is well. Credits fixed. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Thanks for letting me know about that. I corrected this post so you are listed as co-writer on the lyrics. I think about this song and "Winding Stream" from time to time. I just got back from vacation and had been hearing "What's This Life" in my head. And it's been 15 years since we recorded it! I remember at the time of writing this I really felt this voice from inside to push me to do new bodacious things. I felt like I wasn't doing enough. After recording this I did do so many incredible things in my musical life. I feel that same push now. I think that's why I've been hearing this song in my head. It's my personal anthem to "Get up and do it!" Was really great working with you on these songs. Hope all is well. Hi Melanie! Thanks for letting me know about that.

I'm assuming writer means you wrote the music. You have me credited for lyrics on one of my other songs. BTW, how have you been? Conrad,
