The album, which tells his story, deals heavily with love, loss and eventually acceptance. A number of tracks on the album - “Stuck In the Middle,” “How It’s Supposed To Be,” “Move On,” “One More Song” – find Mike coming to terms with the circumstances that real life sent his way. Mike emerges as a musician and storyteller, finding in his melodies and lyrics that beginnings always do hide themselves in ends. (Full tracklist below.)
