The album contains ideas and experiences from the life of Alfred P Ginney, a quintessentially human character. The name Alfred P Ginney came clearly in a dream many years ago; the name became the basis of the last song on the album (“Ginney”), and the character became the voice of the album.
The love song, “Perfect Life”, provides context for the beginning of the story, and the centerpiece of the album is “Revolution”, a message of personal freedom to every human being. The other songs explore themes including love, honesty, freedom, peace, and acceptance. They include a letter written by Alfred P Ginney (“Wrote to Say”), social commentaries (“Not the Way” and “Cry of the Masses”), personal creeds (“Own Thing”, “Priority”, and “Liberty”), and songs of advice and encouragement (“Accept It”, “Love is Abundant”).
