Songwriter Says: “I recorded All I Do Is Lie between June 2012 and July 2013 in various studios and hotel rooms around the country. My goal was to make as honest a record as I could; honest lyrically, as well as honest musically. Production-wise, I wanted to keep the the songs more on the sparse side with less drums and electric instruments than my last solo record. Lyrically, I wanted to touch on a few topics that I think about regularly like fear, religion, and the varying types of human love and connection. Four of the songs were instigated by what I thought would be an intriguing song title; ‘Made For TV Movie,’ ‘This Will End In Tears,’ ‘Keep Your Promises’ as well as ‘All I Do Is Lie.’ I tried to think of song titles that would pull me in and make me want to listen to the song if I saw them listed on the back of an album in a record store. I had a lot of fun making this record in a wide variety of ways with a wide variety of people and I hope folks enjoy it.”
