Thank you from all of us in REDHILL. We would like to thank our families and close friends for their continued support. God knows we sometimes drive you crazy with the demands of our passion for music. To our fans, present and future...you validate our efforts.
Julianne - I would like to thank my God, dad, mom, grandma , Brandon, Rachael, and Jessica, and all my family and friends who have given me wings to fly and for not taking the scissors out of my hands when I was running with them, Greg Michaels for creating such beautiful songs for me to sing, Jay, Jon, Andy and Mickey, Larry Garcia for being "Alex Trebek" with the answers to so many of my questions and being a great friend, detroitcountrymusic.com, Michael Hacala for being so helpful and supportive and his great photography, Mark Iannace for CD layout and artistic input, All the talented musicians in and around the greater Detroit area that we have come to know for support, All the radio stations that have had the fortitude to give our music airplay. Most of all, to all our fans...without you this CD is just another drink coaster. No regrets.
Greg Michaels - my mom and dad, Elmer and Henrietta for all their luv and encouragement...They never stopped in their support of my musical pursuits..no matter how misguided they might have seemed, thanks to Maureen for her support and understanding, to all my family and friends without whom none of this journey would matter.
Jay Fiondella - Thank you to my wife Michelle for putting up with my silly ass, to my family, Shane, Corin, and Tori. Thank you to my Uncle Mike for giving me passion and inspiration for playing the drums at such an early age, to my mom for exposing me to so much different music as a child...my dad(Bill) for not killing me for choosing to be a drummer, all my friends and family who have been supportive through the years. I thank God for my passion and a special thanks to Greg’s mom for sending the major baked goods to rehearsals...a drummer needs extra sugar and carbs to beat the skins and appropriate enthusiasm.
Jon Lenardon- Thank you to my Mom and Dad for letting my friends and I make all the noise in the basement so many years ago; my loving wife Noreen, for her support and help with the music; and for my beautiful daughter Annelisa for all her smiles.
Andy Quiton- Thank you to my wife Noël and to my boys Gavin and Logan for all your love and support, you are my life. And thanks to my mom for the music i hear in my head and the laughter that makes this all bearable. Thanks to God and my Guardian Angel.
Mickey Walsh - Thank you to my mom and dad, to Monika for the inspiration and making me a believer again, to Madisson, Toby, Sammy, and Maxie. To Denise, Forrest, Lauren, Danielle, and Lily. Debbie, Mark, Gavin, Owen, and Drake, Andy, Jeff, Marks, Michael and Brigitte, Shitheads, Steve Kovich, The Tom’s Oyster Bar gang, Bob and Karen, Paul, Freddie, Sting, Race, and the rest of the October band. Thanks to Yamaha Keyboards, Greg, Julianne, Jon, Andy and Jay for keeping it together. The extended REDHILL family for putting up with us. Renaissance dirt bags, CF, Greg Stryker (I owed you that), Gasoline Junkies. To the bands, artists, songwriters too numerous to mention that have guided me. To the fans...without you, there is no band...no music.

Music: Mickey Walsh, Lyrics: Julianne and Mickey Walsh
When I look at you all I see is a stranger starin’ back at me (We’ve) drifted so far from where we’ve been I want to go back to the way we were back then Was it something that I did, something that I said can you tell me what’s inside your head? You used to talk to me, and I was always there I still am now, but you won’t let me near I see that distant look in your eyes I know there’s something wrong I don’t think we can just let this slide Cause I know there’s something wrong Gave you my best, but my hands are tied God knows you’ve pushed me in the corner tryin’ Is this the end? Give me the truth Oh tell me can you feel it too? Did we outgrow our love, or just drift apart? Is this about another, or just a broken heart? I want the magic back that we both felt inside Baby open up to me, please don’t run and hide Was it something that I did, something that I said? Can you tell me what’s inside your head? I want the magic back that we both felt inside baby open up to me, please don’t run and hide We gotta try again baby we gotta give it one more time baby don’t give up on us, baby don’t give up on us I know we can work it out |

Come on baby, drive me crazy the way you always seem to do ‘cause I don’t need nothin’ but your good lovin’ now come and take away my blues ‘cause when I fall down, you pick me up my river runs dry, you fill my cup when my world comes in black and white I know just where to turn to Baby all I ever need is you come on darlin’ here in my garden you can rest your weary head you won’t need nothin’ but my good lovin’ now come and lay down in my bed when everything you feel is coming up cold the brand new day starts out old you’re feelin’ half the man you want to be you know just where to come to Baby all I ever need is you come and hold me, soft then boldly the way you swore you’d always do I’ll take your sadness, everyday madness and make it all feel good for you come what may, come what might the light of heaven or dark of night I’ll be right there, wherever you go forever I’ll be true baby all I ever need is you |

Music & Lyrics: Greg Michaels
If I could be with anyone, tonight I’d be with u and if I could go anywhere, I’d be on my way to u but since I’m alone like the nights before I climb these stairs and go thru that door lay on this roof and count the stars tonight this roof is where u are and when the sun goes down I hear that same old sound on this rooftop tonight, I swear I see u like yesterday on this rooftop tonight, all my cares just float away and I feel ok yeah I feel alright sitting on this rootop tonight if I could take time and make it anything I’d take every minute and spend them with u again but since time does what it wants to do there’s a place where I can go to where everything is like before it’s up these stairs and thru that door and when the night falls down u know where I’ll be found when I’m up here everythings ok ain’t nothin’ to bring me down the world down there wears my soul away always spinning round and round and round |

You said you loved me then you said goodbye now you come a knockin' both day and night you can't see that I ain't the same no I ain't that girl you left cryin' in the rain No I can't deny, there were some long dark nights but we all reap what we have sown but I'm doin' ok, cause I know I can make it on my own I saw you with your new hoochie mama well have you introduced her to your headcase traumas? I guess she'll find out soon enough that your left is right and your down is up I should have seen the signs, read between the lines yeah I guess I should have known but I'm doin' ok, cause I know I can make it on my own I'll give credit where credit it due cause I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for you I found strength I didn't know I had and there ain't no way I'm ever comin' back so save your late night calls, I've moved beyond these walls and a house just ain't a home but I'm doin' ok, cause I know I can make it on my own |

Music & Lyrics: Julianne
You’ve got your suitcase by the door It’s just sitting there on the floor And waiting for that taxi seems like an eternity All the papers have been signed No don’t ask me if I’ve changed my mind It’s all said and done, except for one little thing How do I make myself stop loving you How do I tell my heart that we’re through I just can’t do what I don’t want to do How do I make myself stop loving you It’s too late to turn back now I thought we’d get through anything somehow but sometimes the end is just the end Now we’ll go our separate ways I think we’ve both seen better days They say time’s the only thing that can put us on the mend. But Now it’s time for you to go but there’s one thing I want you to know I’d do it all again right up until this day So I’ll put on my best smile When your gone I’ll go cry for a while I’m glad I had the chance to love you anyway |
