Beginning with the CCR-infused title track, followed by InchLight AheadInch a piece of new wave pop with a Joni Mitchell-like vocals. The seventies light rock feel of InchEvery Day Feels RightInch is followed by the Natalie Merchant-influenced InchNew Ways To See. InchStill Waiting On LineInch is a plaintive 80's pop/rock duet. InchYou Should KnowInch adds a poignant song about second loves dealing with the knowledge of a first love. InchBlack and WhiteInch is an emotive bluesy/jazz-tinged story of interracial love and the complications around it. InchJust One ChanceInch has that anthemic Richard Marx/Benny Mardones/John Parr vibe while InchBack Where I StartedInch has a country rock feeling. InchI Know This FeelingInch channels Karla Bonoff/Wendy Waldman/Laura Nyro stylings. InchEvery Life I've LivedInch has a very 80's singer songwriter feel that reminisces of Dan Fogelberg, Dan Seals or Gene Cotton. InchBetween The Lines We DrawInch has a flair for the dramatic in a Springsteen style. InchCommon GroundInch has an almost progressive tinged Kansas/Styx sound. InchStill Standing In LineInch is female led country-rock in a Dolly Parton style. InchSilent NightInch is an epic intense ending song about a soldier alone in a deserted outpost in space.
