I wrote "Almost" as a reflection of the incredible effort it takes to accomplish anything significant, including writing a great song. I had just finished watching a documentary about Thomas Edison and the many times he failed when attempting to invent the light bulb. It amazed me that Edison didn't think of the failed attempts as failing; he thought of them as ruling out a particular method. He stayed so persistent and positive that it was almost inevitable that he would find success. And as we all know, he succeeded in inventing what we mostly take for granted, the electric light bulb. Not long after watching that documentary "Almost" popped into my head, out of my mouth, and onto my yellow pad. My message in "Almost" is that one may "fail" in a particular step toward a goal, but a failed step does not mean the goal won't ultimately be attained. Keep the faith, baby! - Mark R. Lightcap
