Song one and title track, "Grains Of Sand" happened when someone told me that: "All of the stress, and pain and worry, we have are but "Grains Of Sand," in an Ocean of Love!" This song is "Smooth Jazz", adult contemporary, reflective style.
Song two, "Once In A Lifetime" a "Smooth Jazz, Light Rock, Romantic, Adult Contemporary " track, is for "Real Men", who could look at other women, but why? She's fine, but not as fine as mine!
Song three: "Long, Long, Time" is a modern remake of a "Big Band" 65 year old, hit song. The Soldier meets His Woman, and they can't believe they're together again! "Smooth Jazz-Hard Rock (kinda'), Romantic, Adult Contemporary," is this song's style.
Song four, "Global Warming", is a "Jazz, Smooth Jazz," adult contemporary song smackdown of the BIGGEST hoax ever foisted upon humanity!
Song five, "Irreversible", came to life after I heard on the radio: "If my stimulus package isn't passed, we'll be on an irreversible course of decline!" I thought, "Great song idea!" It is a "Jazzy Blues, Rock, Adult Contemporary" song.
Song six, "Nice Shoes", really happened to me! "Smooth Jazz, Adult Contemporary, Light Rock" are this song's styles!
Song seven, "Happy OR Right" came to life after I asked a woman who has been married 60 years, "How they did it?" She said, "When we were dating, I said, "Tom, you can be "Happy OR Right," you decide!" It is a Light Rock, Adult Contemporary song.
Song eight, "Lies, Lies, Lies", was given to me during the 2008 Presidential election. A candidate said, "I've always supported that." My frien who had heard him say that said, "Lies, Lies, Lies! He's a liar!" So this song initially was about the candidate, but I changed it, to be about the Prince of Lies, morphing into a political candidate. It is a Hard Rock, Adult contemporary song.
Song nine, "Forgive Me", happened to me, when the most important person to me, said she wanted nothing to do with me anymore. She forgave me. It is in Harrrrrd Rock, adult contemporary style.
Song ten, "War On Wisdom", is a Haaarrrrrd Rock look at the scools of indoctrination, here in the USA. Adult Contemporary, Haaarrrd Rock in style.
Song eleven, "Babel", is a look at our Western Society. With so much diversity, everyone's the same! Haaaarrrd Rock, Death Metal style are this song's audio signature! Adult Contemporary too.
