The second half of this album, starting with "People Go By Like a Flame" is fantastic, exhibiting Don Chaffer's abilities as one of the most underrated songwriters around. Seriously, Don Chaffer and Waterdeep are really good. I hope someday the receive the attention and acclaim they deserve.
I've never been a huge fan of Waterdeep, but I do like this solo effort Don Chaffer. He wrote this album shortly after losing both his parents within a year's time. It also happened to be right around 9-11. He manages to write something that's honest and gut wrenching with being self indulgent. He lets you know it's okay to be a Christian and be honest about how you feel. I still cry just thinking about "Leave Me Alone", written after losing his mother.
