Battle Lines Drawn

While my divorce from my wife is and shall remain a very guarded topic for me, there were times when the immensity of the situation cannot help but come to the surface. As we progressed through this difficult time, I noticed a lot of friends we once both had choosing sides as if that would help matters.  So many times I wanted to go to these people and tell my side- arguing with them until they saw things my way.  But I didn't.  I kept it inside.


The only real release I had during this time was to go running.  It was a way to sort things through in my head and attempt to gain some clarity.  "Combat" was the foundation of this run mix.  All my anger and angst, the frustration and hurt all seemed to be imbedded within this track.  Even at 35... well beyond the phase of thinking a song was written for me- I felt as if I had something that I could relate to.  The lyrics talked of taking sides. It had the rage and desperation in the voice. It felt like therapy.

And if nothing else... I was running at top speed, so I was definitely getting in shape.
