I'm all about making larger statements.  Lots of times, what I'm trying to say takes more than one song.  Sometimes, that takes the form of a concept album and other times, it becomes a song cycle.  This tune was the beginning of a song cycle that was supposed to be about a rather not-nice fellow's journey through the afterlife.  I'm not adding to it at the moment, partially because I don't quite know where to take it, plus nobody seems interested in it anyway.  The same goes for the Seven Hills saga.  Believe me, I'd love to continue it, but there doesn't seem to be much point.  One song cycle that will be finished is the "Miss (Day of the Week)" cycle.  I've written six tunes so far.  Only Miss Tuesday remains.  Unlike the other cycles, there's no central narrative here.  I guess that's why it's close to completion.  It's just a series of character sketches that don't necessarily have to make any cooperative sense.  Anyhow, let me say that the afterlife cycle might be continued.  I just have to formulate some theories about how it's going to end, so I can flesh in the action.  If it is to be finished (and that's a big IF), I'd like it to be 12 songs in all.  That's a nice album-length song cycle.  Seven Hills is already a monstrosity and the "Miss" series is just going to be seven - not really album length at all. I'd like at least one to fit into an album.  If that doesn't work, I might just start another one that will fit that bill.  Any ideas on what it should be about?
