Listeners may be surprised to hear the shift in tone with this album; as Justin's typically sweet voice and love-centered lyrics are both deeper and darker. The albums opener “Maybe When The Morning Comes” reveals a different style of songwriting, complete with unusual chord changes and lyrics which tend to ask more questions than deliver answers. “If We’re Wrong,“ the sixth track off the album is insightful. Justin said of the track, “I found myself pondering whether I could even sing anymore, internally brooding about the capacity in oneself to tackle life’s relentless challenges including my stature in the music world itself.” “Don’t Mean Nothing” is about heartbreak; a song Hines says “is personal, but shows that a broken heart isn’t the end of the world. It’s about moving on.” “Please Stay” is a track written about spirituality. “Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you believe in, just that you believe. This song is about when having that belief through times of peril and drawing from something that gives you hope.” The album’s soul can be found in “Lay My Burdens Down”, a song that gets your head nodding and your feet moving. “This is my old-time mountain song. It has this foot-stomping vibe,” he laughs. “It really came together nicely in my opinion. Justin Abedin (his producer, musical director and guitarist) did such an amazing job. I love it.” Foot-stomping aside, “We The People” can easily be named the album’s power song. “ It’s about unity with everyone coming together to overcome obstacles. It celebrates humanity. I really think this song sums up the spirit of the album.” A song with similar a concept is “How We Fly”, which asks people to embrace their time on the ground. “Man on the Stand” Hines recalls, “I tried to use this metaphor of a courtroom and not seeing someone at face value. It’s that knowing that there’s more to people than the few things you see that becomes important.” ‘’Love You That Way’’, a tip of the hat to the Dylanesque love song,” capturing the struggles that love brings and the bare beauty of people entwined with one another.” “Forty Shades of Blue” “…the word blue has been used so often in songs, so I like the idea of the number of shades it takes in outlining the many insecurities one can declare in a somber mood.”
