Story Behind the Song: I wrote this song and got the title and idea for first verse while sitting in a bar in Norfolk, VA. called Hell's Kitchen. Even though the historical Hell's Kitchen is a N.Y. landmark and could have some application to the meaning of the song, that was not the target/intent. Anyway, while sipping on a Jack/Rocks I noticed a young couple sitting at a lone table that had been placed smack in the middle of the bar area. The place was packed almost shoulder-to-shoulder but they seemed so in love that they were oblivious to the "chaos all around them". In the mean time I was checking out other people there, on the prowl, using unimaginably shallow or disrespectful chatter as part of their act....so I wondered if this young love that was blossoming was going to last or if they would end up eventually like some of the other fools in the bar -- Hmmmm... who knows (haven't been back since then) Metadata Song Length: 6:08 Primary Genre: Pop-Rock Secondary Genre: R & B-General Tempo: Medium (111 - 130) Lead Vocal: Male Vocal Subject Matter 1: Dysfunctional Relations Subject Matter 2: Fools Mood 1: Restless Mood 2: Heartbreaking Similar Artist 1: Dave Matthews Band, The Similar Artist 2: Wilco Language: English Era: 2000 and later
