The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar. Both also contributed to writing all the songs, and both sang. Matt and Keith toured for several years after this, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. By 1995, they were ready to record again.

Great Divide Lyrics
Vertical Horizon
Keep on looking, find a way out
Get a hold on hoping, scream and shout
A new addiction, another show
Truth and fiction, well I did not know
Chorus:
I didnt know you and you didnt know me
Broken branches and a family tree
Blown over this wind is wide
A lone loners, and our great divide
Running forward, warning signs
Looking backward at the yellow lines
All the great suggestions and the horoscope
Stubborn lessons, and we could not cope
Chorus
And I know its not forever
This time its not the same
Why cant we live together
And share more than a name
In the name of friendship and the mask of love
Careful not to trip on the kid gloves
Or the cooking apron, and the wedding gown
Fabric so thin that it ties us down
Chorus
