There is nothing I could describe here that could encapsulate the
genesis of this project. 

I, myself, have little understanding of how it came to be, other than
a need to explain my semi-dormant rage about how things have
come to be in this world today.

I have always found an understanding of my emotions through music
and singing.  I could say things to people through a performance of
a song that I would otherwise be unsure how to express. I could
always find, or create, the lyrics that represented my thoughts better
than I could explain them in long, complicated sentences.

I don’t remember when I first decided that I needed to express
myself through music.  It seems I always have.  I know it is more
honest and immediate than the chess-play of deliberate conversation. 
Looking back, it seems I have always entertained friends and
strangers with songs, or just singing to amuse, or unburden myself
of an emotional experience that could not resolve itself through any
other cathartic exercise.  I have involved myself in this place, at this
time to make clear the state of things as I see them, and perhaps
give someone who may come to listen an opportunity to have a
voice represent for them what they are attempting to express,
but cannot say.
