Commentary:

Written during the darkest and loneliest time of my life, Someday is a simple song of hope. It represents my conscious effort to be positive in the face of despair and to believe that my redemption would occur someday. I believe the only constant truth in our universe is that all things change, and I was trying to instill some faith and hope into my music that life would change for me too. This was one of the most time consuming songs for me in the recording studio because I recorded 5 vocal harmony tracks and then doubled each one before I cut the lead vocal and doubled tracked it, making 12 vocal tracks altogether.

Achieving the whistler also turned out to be more difficult than I had anticipated. My first idea was to hire a professional whistler from the San Francisco Musician's Union so I called them on the phone and as it turned out, they only had one whistler. Assuming that this had to be my whistler, I hired the guy. He turned out to be awful and I didn't record any usable material but I had to pay him union scale anyway. This was the first time during my series of recording sessions that a studio musician had failed to cut the mustard and I was depressed. I was moping around the recording studio's kitchen when a British group came out of another studio for a break and I complained about the union whistling failure to them. Their lead singer said to me, "Hey. I can whistle. Would you let me try?" I said, "I need a Walt Disney whistle. Rated PG for lovers. Can you do that kind of thing?" Michael Andrews replied, "Nobody's ever given me a chance and I'd love to try." So Michael became my whistler by cutting the whistling track for Someday on the first take.
