Theoretical theme song for a situation comedy that never got produced. I had very few details about the content of the show, so the lyrics are pretty generic. I mostly include it for the nice music and arrangement

Folk music for postmoderns
I am what you might call a musical generalist. I listen to pretty much everything and I compose in pretty much any style, though I concentrate mainly on folk, folk-rock, rock, synth-pop, alternative, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, new-age, film music, avant-garde, and the occasional lullaby (why sing your kid to sleep with "Rock-a-bye Baby" when you can can create something personalized?). I've done most of my professional (i.e. paid) work in the theatre, where I've been musical director for dozens of productions. I was also musical director of Mental Floss, the legendary Miami improv group, for over 500 performances; I recently did a stint with Laughing Gas, which rose from the ashes of Mental Floss 11 years ago to become the longest running improv group in South Florida. As a singer-songwriter, I've concentrated most of my energy on my signature style of synth-driven folk-rock (sort of Indigo Girls meets Vangelis). I'm also something of a minor celebrity in the world of Filk (folk music for science fiction fans), where I am proud to be the object of the worlds smallest international fan base.

Story behind the song
This was written for a sitcom my cousin Elise was developing, which never made it to pilot stage; It's in the "Family Ties" theme mode, i.e. pretty music and insipid lyrics. Actually, as it turns out, the music is some of the best, most concise writing I'd done in years, with a nice background vocal arrangement.
Lyrics
How, how can you keep it all together When everything is tearing you apart How , how can you learn from your mistakes Without taking them to heart You could love just a little You could hope for a little bit more You could hold on a little bit closer] That's what love is for
