about

We begin this journey with a tribute to journeys' beginnings - the 'something' in 'twentytwentysomething'.

This song testifies to itself - it's the start of the voyage you're about to embark on, although, when I wrote it, I had no idea that it would be.

lyrics

It's good that all things
Must begin from somewhere
For where things start is something
Of a riddle
As by the time you see that
Something's started
You're more than likely
somewhere in the middle

So here you are with something
Born of nothing
And sometimes that distinction's
Mighty fine
But though you worked that nothing
Into something
It doesn't fall to you
To draw the line
