about
So Am I was written back in 1997. We thought it would be appropriate to record this version of the song because of its relevance to the lives we lead and the people that embrace us...
for me, life has always been about friendship.
So Am I carries me away to this wonderful day and evening when Bart had to play a small festival. We stayed, enjoyed the stillness of a nearby lake and the sun as it set.
this moment must have been one of the first I started to realize what friendship is all about. this is why I wrote it. this is why I still love it. this is why I enjoyed playing it live so much. because it was about them. these wonderful people playing in this band with me. bonding. sharing. helping. crying. laughing. living. reflecting. meeting. loving...
They're still there
& they always will
it's all about love, always, everywhere

lyrics
Well we tried & it felt good for a while
You said:
'I might be stubborn but I am proud
I might be running but I love you all'
'hello' 'hello'
We've been waiting for your logic
& your patience to arrive
You divide us into fractions but
You'd never let us down
We've been running for a year now
We've been wanting to come out
We divide us into fractions but we'd never let us down
You are out there in the water
Because you want to be with you
Your skin thickens, you move water
& all you hear is you
& if you're lonely, so am I
You're so quiet, you seem happy
We've been wanting to get out
You're still out there, in the water
A conversation with yourself
You're still out there, moving water
Thinking of this mess
We're still thinking
We're still thinking of this mess
